Rags Outclass Sallins:
Kilcullen had a comprehensive win over Sallins in the Keogh Cup today, winning by 2-15 to 1-7. The game was even enough in the early stages, but the Rags attack then took over, getting some fine scores. The highlight of these were two well taken goals by Fergus Aspell and John Whyte, which helped the home side to a 2-7 to 1-5 half-time lead. Kilcullen completely dominated the second half, outscoring Sallins by eight points to two. In a fluent attack, John Whyte, Fergus Aspell, Jamie Lambe and Shane Lambe all starred. Warren Kinsella played well in midfield, while new captain Kevin O'Brien was solid at the back.

Kilcullen Line-Up: D.McMahon; C.McMahon, R.Aspell, M.Dooley; B.Fox(0-1), K.O'Brien(capt), D.Barker; W.Kinsella(0-2), T.Davis(0-1); J.Whyte(1-1), F.Aspell(1-1), J.Lambe(0-3); P.Jones(0-2f), S.Lambe(0-2), C.Aspell(0-1f).

Rags off to a Winning Start:
Kilcullen opened their season with a win in their first competitive match, in the Keogh Cup away to Straffan. Kilcullen played well in the opening half, with some good passages of play, and excellent scores across the forward line. The Rags held a 0-11 to 0-2 half-time lead. A combination of a stronger performance by Straffan, and Kilcullen taking the foot off the pedal, made for a much closer affair in the second half. Kilcullen closed out the game well and won by 1-14 to 1-10. Good performances on the day for Kilcullen were from Kevin O'Brien, Ciarán McMahon and John Whyte.

Minor Rags Impress:
Kilcullen Minors won away to St.Mochu on Sunday morning by 2-9 to 0-4. It was a game played in high spirits, but there was very little entertainment through out the game with slippery conditions not helping either side.
Kilcullen led from the start and had a five point lead approaching the half time break with scores from Danny Fisher(4), Paul Bell(2) and David Keane(1).
David Mitchell then got his trademark goal just before the break leaving the score 1-7 to 1-2 at the break. In a very poor second half, St.Mochu put on some pressure on the Kilcullen back-line scoring two points on the run, but missed two goal chances that could have changed the game. Kilcullen then put the match to bed, with a superb goal from Paul Bell and further points from Danny Fisher to earn Kilcullen their second win of the league.
Best for the Rags were Howard Peacocke, John Caplis, Franny Shortt, Owen Jennings, Paul Bell and Danny Fisher.

CPC Into Final:
