A brave minor side were beaten by a physically bigger and stronger Teconnaught side on Thursday night. Despite the margin of defeat the very young Kilclief side acquitted themselves very well. Influential midfielder Ricky Kerr had to play in goal due to injury and his presence was missed out on the park. Caolan Sloan (1-2) and Owen Curran (1-0) were Kilclief's scorers on the night.

Dean Fitzsimons and Aidan McCann were the pick of the defenders with telling interceptions and close marking. Mick O'Boyle went into goal for the second half and pulled off three stunning saves. Up front Sean O'Reilly had his best game in a Kilclief shirt to date although he faded in the second half.

Nathan McMullen, Ryan Curran and Sean Quail all showed well despite limited supply. Results wise the season has not been great but there are many positives to take for next year. The side is only losing 3 players and with more commitment from players who were absent this year there is no reason why the team can't be challenging for honours.

Kilclief:
Richard Kerr, Cormac Conway, Liam Savage, Sean Rice, Dean Fitzsimons, Max Reilly, Aidan McCann, Caolan Sloan, Owen Curran, Sean O'Reilly, Ryan Curran, Nathan McMullen, Sean Quail, Michael O'Boyle, Christian Savage.
