Kilcullen in Relegation Dogfight:
Kilcullen came into this game with Carbury after a massive defeat to Sarsfields last week and with the aid of a good breeze in the first half they looked like they were determined to make amends by racing into a commanding 7 point lead with some well worked scores including a fisted goal from Hook Kelly. Carbury however had other ideas and with the help of two fortuitous goals the teams came in level at half time on a score of 1-8 to 2-5. The second half was a score for score affair but another Carbury goal midway through the half put enough daylight between the teams for Carbury to run out the victors with a final score of 3-11 to 1-12. Best for Kilcullen in a match played in difficult conditions were Ronan Aspell, Brian Fox, Shane Lambe and Paul Jones.
