A great final 20 minutes saw our senior men come form 4 points down to beat Clonduff on Friday night and help our push for a top 4 place.

Castlewellan 2-14 Kilcoo 2-13
ACPRFL 1
A depleted Castlewellan 2nds came away victorious from Kilcoo on Sunday afternoon after a hard fought and thoroughly deserved win.
Kilcoo has not been a happy hunting ground for Town teams in recent years and this victory was made all the more sweet by the fact that the winning goal, from the boot of Sean Russell, came from a 14 yard free in the 6th minute of injury time.
Playing with the wind Kilcoo raced into a 1-4 to 0-2 lead after 15 minutes before both teams were reduced to 14 men with Shay Flanagan and Paddy Devlin seeing red.
The Town kept plugging away and by half time the deficit was a solitary point.
Ruairi McArdle completed a fine move before rounding the Kilcoo keeper and blasting to the net within minutes of the restart. Both teams traded points with the boot of Noel Devlin keeping Kilcoo infront with some well taken frees.
Sean Russell responded with some fine scores of his own and ended the day with a tally of 1-8. Aidan O'Neill also scored a great left footed free to help the Town establish a 3 point lead with around 10 minutes remaining. Kilcoo were reduced to 13 men with 10 minutes left for a second yellow card offence but as so often happens the Town failed to make their numerical advantage count as much as they would have liked.
A late Kilcoo goal followed by a pointed free seemed to have sealed their win but Sean Russell stepped forward to rifle home a cracking goal with the very last kick of the game to give the Town the victory they deserved.
A gutsy, brave performance from all 16 Town men who played, coupled with some great pieces of skill and fine scores were the basis for this victory and hopefully the Kilcoo voodoo that has haunted Town teams in recent seasons has finally been laid to rest.
