Kiltale 6-12, Ratoath 2-2: Kiltale added another U14 title to the title they won last year by overcoming Ratoath in Kilmessan on Saturday.

Kiltale were quick off the mark with a goal from a 65 by captain David Schilder and further goals from Ronan and Ross Ryan gave Kiltale a cushion which they never lost.

Kiltale had points from Hugh O’Sullivan, Michael Burke, Robert McGuinness and David Schilder to put them ahead by 3-7 to 0-1 at half time.

Darragh Kelly got a point for Ratoath in the first half and was unlucky not to get a goal only for great defending by Brian Harnan and Daragh Walsh.

Kiltale started off brightly in the second half with two goals from Ronan Ryan and one from his brother Ross.

Kiltale got further points from David Schilder, Hugh O’Sullivan, Iarla Hughes and David McLoughlin and Ratoath replied with a point from Daragh Kelly.

Daragh Kelly scored two goals in last five minutes but it was to late for a Ratoath comeback.

Brian Harnan was outstanding throughout the game and got great support in defence from Hugh Smith, Sean Kiernan and Daragh Walsh.

David Schilder and Iarla Hughes dominated midfield were Daragh Kelly and Gavin King tried hardest for Rataoth.

Kiltale forwards showed great combination with twins Ronan and Ross Ryan, Hugh O’Sullivan, Michael Burke, Robert McGuinness and David McLoughlin all combining well to get great scores.

Kiltale: Fergal Ryan, Sean Ryan, Sean Kiernan, Cathal Brien, Hugh Smith, Brian Harnan, Daragh Walsh, Iarla Hughes, David Schilder 1-4, Dave McLoughlin, Michael Burke 0-1, Robert McGuinness 0-1, Hugh O’Sullivan 1-2, Ross Ryan 2-2, Ronan Ryan 2-2.
Subs: Brian O’Reilly for David McLoughlin, Kyle Benson for Iarla Hughes, Cathal Ryan for Daragh Walsh, Sean Healy for Cathal Brien, Jack Farrell for Michael Burke.

SHC semi-final: Kilmessan cruise past Kiltale

September 20, 2010

Ted Murtagh Clothing and Footwear SHC Semi Final:
Kilmessan 2-10, Kiltale 1-4

Kiltale's Stephen Whyte moves in on Kilmessan's Charlie Keena during the Meath SHC semi final at Pairc Tailteann

Kiltale's Stephen Whyte moves in on Kilmessan's Charlie Keena during the Meath SHC semi final at Pairc Tailteann

The most surprising aspect of the first of the Meath SHC semi-finals at Pairc Tailteann on Saturday was the winning margin as Kilmessan cruised through to another Jubilee Cup decider.

Goals from corner-forward Danny Maguire after seven and 20 minutes set up the former champions for a victory which was in the bag at the halfway stage when the board read 2-6 to 0-2.

Following their big replay win over Dunboyne, Kiltale were expected to put up another bold show but although only two points in arrears at the end of the opening quarter, they went 34 minutes between their second and third scores.

In a less than entertaining encounter, 10 of the 14 points registered were shot over from placed balls. Nicky Horan sent over seven points, six frees and a 65 while John Donoghue was the only scorer of a point from play for the losers.

That Donoghue score should have inspired Kiltale as the centre-forward rose to catch the sliotar and fire between the uprights. But, sadly for neutrals and supporters of the 2007 champions in the good sized crowd, it did not.

Ger O’Neill, who had opened the scoring, supplied the cross for the first goal and Maguire latched on to a pass from Charlie Keena to net the second major score.

Kiltale needed a strong start to the second period in order to make a match of it but that was not forthcoming. But instead Horan increased the lead two minutes after the restart and the dismissal of Peter Reynolds on receipt of a second yellow card on 42 minutes did not inconvenience Kilmessan.

Soon after the dismissal Charlie Keena and Eoin Marsh hit points from play and when Peter Durnin slotted over a free it was Kiltale’s first score for more than half an hour. The teams were again level numerically after 55 minutes when TJ Lynch, who was only a short time on the pitch, was shown a straight red card.

Referee Fergus Smyth allowed seven minutes of added time during which veteran replacement, Cathal Sheridan, grabbed a goal and Durnin converted another free. But those scores were little consolation to hapless Kiltale.

Kilmessan: C Curtis; E Horan, S Clynch, P McGovern; M Horan, J Keena, P Farrell; R Donnelly, P Reynolds; N Horan (0-7, 6fs, 1 65), E Marsh (0-1), K Keena; C Keena (0-1), G O’Neill (0-1), Danny Maguire (2-0). Subs: P Grimes for Farrell (37), S Brennan for E Horan (50), Darragh Maguire for O’Neill (58).

Kiltale: S McGann; S White, S Carroll, D Donoghue; S Donoghue, P Donoghue, W Mahady; I Douglas, D Dixon; M O’Sullivan, J Donoghue (0-1), P Kelly; P Durnin (0-3, 3fs), B Dixon, J Kelly. Subs: D Kane for White (21), C Sheridan (1-0) for Douglas (h-t), TJ Lynch for Dixon (50), Paul Garvey for P Kelly (52).

Referee: F Smyth (Blackhall Gaels).

SHC semi-final: Durnin terminates Dunboyne campaign

September 7, 2010

Meath Senior Hurling Championship quarter-final: Kiltale 5-12, Dunboyne 1-11

Kiltale's Mark O'Sullivan gets in his strike as Dunboyne's Paul Fagan tries to block during the Meath SHC quarter final replay at Trim.

Kiltale's Mark O'Sullivan gets in his strike as Dunboyne's Paul Fagan tries to block during the Meath SHC quarter final replay at Trim.

Peter Durnin scored 2-6 as Kiltale blitzed Dunboyne in this Ted Murtagh Clothing & Footwear SHC quarter-final replay at Trim on Saturday afternoon.

Unlike the drawn encounter six days earlier, when Kiltale forced extra-time and later a replay, Dunboyne were on the back foot from the off and never led.

However the sides were level twice in the early exchanges. Damien Dixon’s ninth minute point made it 0-3 to 0-2 and Kiltale were never reeled in.

Durnin’s first goal came courtesy of a 20-metre free in the 13th minute and left the board reading 1-3 to 0-2.

Dunboyne did manage to cut the gap to a goal on two occasions in the second quarter. First when Michael Dunne pointed and then in the 27th minute through Michael O’Grady.

In between those scores Kiltale moved five points clear with Durnin punishing Dunboyne from play and frees.

A more economical Kiltale put a significant desposit on a semi-final meeting with Kilmessan in the run up to half-time.

James Kelly’s 28th minute goal doubled Kiltale’s advantage. Though Neil Hackett replied with a point from play, the team in maroon and green closed were ahead by double scores, 2-8 to 0-7, at the break.

Within seconds of the restart Durnin placed Mark O’Sullivan for Kiltale’s third goal. Points from Gary Watters and Hackett (free) offered a glimmer of hope for last year’s runners-up.

Brendan Dixon fired in Kiltale’s fourth goal in the 40th minute to shut the door on Dunboyne and the board read 4-8 to 0-9.

Kiltale ‘keeper Shane McGann saved well from Neville Reilly in the 47th minute while Durnin continued to punish Dunboyne with scores from play and placed balls.

When Hackett placed Stephen Moran for Dunboyne’s goal in the 54th minute, Kiltale still held a double scores advantage, 4-10 to 1-11.

Durnin completed a memorable afternoon for Kiltale with his side’s fifth goal, in the 58th minute, when placed by experienced substitute Cathal Sheridan.

Kiltale – S. McGann; D. Donoghue, S .Carroll, S. White; W. Mahady, P. Donoghue, S. Donoghue; D. Dixon (0-1), P. Donoghue; M. O’Sullivan (1-0), J. Donoghue, I. Douglas (0-1); J. Kelly (1-1), B.

SHC quarter-final: Kiltale and Dunboyne inseparable

August 30, 2010

Meath Senior Hurling Championship quarter-final: Kiltale 1-23, Dunboyne 3-17
30 August 2010

Kiltale and Dunboyne have to do it all again next Saturday at 4pm in Trim after the sides finished level after extra time.

This was an evenly contested match all through and at different stages it looked as if one particular team would go on to win the game.

Kiltale hit six wides in the opening ten minutes after they launched several early attacks at the Dunboyne defence.

Dunboyne opened the scoring with two frees from Niall Hackett but Kiltale replied with scores from Peter Durnin and Brendan Dixon.

The turning point if the first half came when Neville Reilly latched on to a ball after confusion in the Kiltale defence to finish to the net to put Dunboyne ahead by four points.

The best score of the day came when Stephen Donoghue caught a high ball and hand passed to brother John who hand passed to Mark O’Sullivan who hand passed to Brendan Dixon who passed on to James Kelly who finished to the net.

Kiltale scored two more points to leave them ahead by one point at half time.

The second half was very tight and it was hard to say which team looked likely to win.

Peter Durnin was on top form for Kiltale but Dunboyne got a crucial goal from a penalty after Niall Hackett was pulled down going through and he converted the penalty to put Dunboyne in the driving seat.

Kiltale players John Donoghue and Mark O’Sullivan came more into the game and O’Sullivan was proving a real handful for the Dunboyne defence and he hit three lovely points from out on the terrace side of the field.

Durnin levelled the game with a free for Kiltale on full time.

In extra time Kiltale got off to great start going into a three point lead and when Mark O’Sullivan rounded Paul Fagan a goal looked a certainty but he blazed over the bar as Reilly advanced from the Dunboyne goal.

Kiltale seemed to be in the driving seat after James Kelly hit a further point but Dunboyne stormed back into the game with a goal from Niall Hackett.

Dunboyne then took control again and thanks to some fine saves from Shane McGann in the Kiltale goal extra time finished in a draw.

Great credit to both teams for a very enjoyable game.

Donal Smith has to be congratulated on the manner in which he let the game flow and he contributed to one of the most entertaining games of this year which made supporters feel that the got some value for their entrance fee.

All-Ireland MHC B: Westmeath by a whisker

August 18, 2010

All-Ireland MHC B semi-final: Westmeath 1-12, Meath 1-10

Westmeath edged out neighbours Meath in a keenly constested ESB All-Ireland MHC B semi-final at Pairc Tailteann on Saturday.

When the sides clashed at Cusack Park, Mullingar in the first round of the Leinster MHC back in April, Westmeath eased to an 18-point win over Meath.

Although Westmeath led for most of the way, there was never more than four points between the sides.

At the end Meath’s James Kelly saw his goal attempt from a close range free diverted for a ’65’. Paddy Conneely’s subsequent effort to snatch victory for the home side was to no avail and Westmeath prevailed.

The scores were tied four times over the hour, but Westmeath were never headed and crucially posted the last two scores of the game, from Aonghus Clarke and Niall O’Brien in the 51st and 54th minutes respectively.

Meath moved centre-half-back Kelly to full-forward, as a last throw of the dice, but Westmeath held on. The home side also saw substitute William Harnan dismissed on receipt of two yellow cards in the latter stages.

David Gavin gave Westmeath an early lead but that was quickly countered by a well-worked point from Aaron Ennis.

When David Higgins pointed, Westmeath were 0-3 to 0-1 to the good 10 minutes in. Within four minutes the scores were tied again, 0-4 each, when Willie McGrath fired over from close range.

Westmeath’s goal arrived in the 20th minute when Clarke latched onto Shane Fagan’s long delivery and fired to the Meath net. Then Aaron Craig pointed and it was double scores, 1-5 to 0-4.

Two pointed Damien McGee frees halved the deficit, but similar scores from O’Brien earned Pat O’Brien’s charges some leeway.

Another pointed McGee free left Meath trailing by 0-7 to 1-7 at half-time. When Enda Kincaid registered from distance in the 34th minute Westmeath were four points clear again.

Meath’s best spell saw them gain parity by the 40th minute with McGee pointing from far out before Willie McGrath netted from close range after Shane Brennan’s point attempt hit a post.

Westmeath’s replied with points from Clarke (free) and O’Brien to gain the upper hand heading into the final quarter.

Points from Conneely and James Toher levelled matters for the fourth time, in the 50th minute. Meath were unable to hit the front as Westmeath did just enough to clinch a final spot.

Westmeath – N. Kelly; D. Garvin, T. Doyle, T. Gallagher; K. Reilly, G. Flynn, S. Fagan; P. Layde, D. Higgins (0-1); A. Craig (0-1), D. Gavin (0-2), E. Kincaid (0-1); A. Clarke (1-1), N. O’Brien (0-5, 3 fs), N. Kirby (0-1). Subs – J. Boyle for Flynn (ht), P. Reilly for Kirby (51), D. McDermott for Fagan (60).

Meath – C. Murray; S. Morris, N. Weir, C. Foley; T. Raleigh, J. Kelly (Kiltale), R. Andrews; C. Fitzsimons, S. Brennan; P. Conneely (0-1), A. Ennis (0-2), D. McGee (0-5, 4 fs); A. Gannon, W. McGrath (1-1), J. Toher (0-1). Subs – M. Hennessy (Kiltale) for Gannon (49), W. Harnan for Ennis (54), F. Ferguson for McGee (58).

Kiltale’s other members of the squad were Tiernan Mahady, William Harnan, Anthony Forde and Cathal McCabe. Match report from HoganStand.com.

Meath 4-13, Kildare 1-16: Neil Heffernan was the star turn with four goals as Meath claimed the Leinster Under 21 H A title with a win over holders Kildare that was more convincing than the scoreline suggests.

When the Trim lad bagged his fourth goal midway through the second-half the scoreboard read 4-10 to 0-10 and the outcome decided.

Kildare substitute Gavin Sutherland netted from a 60th minute free for what proved to be the final score of the game after Ciaran Joyce was deemed to have over-carried the sliotar.

While Heffernan took the scoring plaudits, he was assisted by eight team mates who posted 0-13 between them. All six forwards registered as did midfielders Keith Keogan and Mark O’Sullivan. Substitute Noel Fagan also got off the mark to leave it 4-13 to 0-15 after 58 minutes.

On the Kildare side full-forward Martin Fitzgerald put 0-6 to his name but only scored once from open play. Conor Kenny was the only one of the visitors’ starting 15 to put over more than a single score from play.

The three Kildare substitutes chalked up 1-4 between them with Leo Quinn (two) and Danny Butler adding to Sutherland’s efforts.     Kildare hit the front in the opening minute when Fitzgerald landed a ’65’. Meath responded positively with team captain Michael Dunne and his Dunboyne clubmate Alan Watters combining to set Heffernan’s first goal.

Meath were never subsequently reeled in and before the fifth minute elapsed Heffernan netted again and it was 2-2 to 0-2.

Kildare did their best to keep within striking distance of Kevin Dowd’s charges and Fitzgerald’s only point from play ignited a Lilywhite revival.   By the 29th minute they had halved the deficit while Meath ‘keeper Shane McGann had saved well from Fitzgerald during the opening period.

Substitute Quinn landed Kildare’s final score of the half before Heffernan got in for his third goal, in the 30th minute, and it was 3-5 to 0-8 at the break.

Meath were quickly into their stride from the restart with points from Anthony Healy, David Raleigh, Barry Slevin (free) and Mark O’Sullivan.   Two Fitzgerald points from from placed balls (a ’65’ and a free) temporarily halted the Meath gallop. In between those scores Keith Keoghan found the range from distance with a free.

Then came Heffernan’s fourth goal and provincial honours were in the bag for Meath.

Meath (players in bold from Kiltale) – S McGann; D Carty, M Dunne, W Mahady; A Watters, C Joyce, D Kennedy; K Keoghan (0-1,f), M O’Sullivan (0-1); A Healy (0-1), E Marsh (0-1), A Douglas (0-1); B Slevin (0-4, 3fs), N Heffernan (4-0), D Raleigh (0-3). Subs – N Fagan (0-1) for Heffernan (54), K Keena for Marsh (59).

Kildare – S Whelan; C Chan, S Piggott, P O’Sullivan; J Byrne, N O Muineachain (0-1), K Domican (0-1); J O’Malley, E O’Neill; C Kenny (0-3), D McSweeney, E Doyle; S Buggy, M Fitzgerald (0-6, 3 65s, 2fs), J Roche (0-1).

July 4, 2010

Kiltale got their Senior Championship ambitions back on track with a win against a strong Rathmolyon team in testing and breezy conditions in Boardsmill. Kiltale took the game to Rathmolyon in the first half, scoring 1-6 against the strong breeze. Kiltale had to work hard, though; three excellent first half points from Ian Douglas who played his best game of the year ensured kiltale were able to keep with Rathmolyon until they got to half time.
