Weekend Results:
The Senior team drew with Sarsfields at home on Saturday, with the final score ending 0-9 a piece. Kilcullen looked like they had clinched it when Darren Barker kept his head to give us a one-point lead but Sarsfields still had time to get down the field for a last minute equaliser. This was a keenly fought contest that was once again played in terrible conditions.
The Under 16's fared better on Saturday when they beat Two Mile House 1-6 to 0-5 on Saturday. However Two Mile House got some revenge when they beat the Under 14's on Sunday.

Weekend Fixtures:
The Senior team will be hoping to build on last weeks win over Allenwood when they host county champions Sarsfields this Saturday at 4.30pm in the third round of matches, in the league.
Also this weekend the Under 16's make the short journey to take on Two Mile House away at 2pm on Saturday. On Sunday the Under 14's will be hoping to make it over a double over our neighbours when Two Mile House travel to play Kilcullen at home, also at 2pm.
As always, all support is appreciated.

Senior League Win:
Kilcullen beat Allenwood 0-11 to 0-9 away on Saturday to open their league account for this season. However, the win was marred for the Rags by a bad injury to last season's Player of the Year Kevin O'Brien who broke his collarbone. Needless to say, everyone associated with the club wishes him a fast recovery.

Seniors Lose Opener:
Kilcullen lost by 1-9 to 1-3 in the first round of the league at home to Ellistown in dreadful conditions on Saturday.
