Allianz
National Hurling League Division 2A
Down
2-22 v Kildare 1-07
@
2.30 p.m. Portaferry, Co Down on Sunday 15th March 2003
Ten points from the stick of Paul Braniff
put Kildare to the sword as Down continued their revival
at Portaferry.
Down 2-22 Kildare 1-7
18-points was the gap between the sides at the end and it
was a fair result as Down excelled in nearly all areas of
the field with their full back line in particular shutting
up shop on Kildare's dangermen. The home team led by 0-6
to no score after Paul Braniff hit six early frees and by
the half time whistle the advantage was 0-12 to 0-2. David
Harney opened the scoring for Kildare but it seemed irrelevant
as points flew over his side's crossbar from all angles
and distances.
The game looked over as a contest when Gareth Johnston fired
Down's first goal immediately on the restart but Kildare
hit back through an Eamonn Deneiffe penalty. Any hopes of
a comeback were well and truly dismissed as the home side
score nine unanswered scored before Martin Coulter got their
second goal.
