Juniors v Kilmovee – Match Report

Davitts Junior team travelled to Kilmovee on Sunday morning, and after a strong display, defeated the locals by 4-10 to 1-9 in Division 4 of the Senior League.

Davitts started the game in determined fashion and with Shane Mitchell and William Freeley in top form at midfield, had built up a 2-5 to 0-4 halftime lead. Shane Treacy and John Kilkenny grabbed the goals with Treacy (2), William Freeley and Richie Kilkenny pointing.

Kilmovee came storming back into the game but the Davitts defence held firm as the whole team defended superbly. The homeside narrowed the gap to three points but points from Shane Mitchell and Shane Treacy extended Davitts lead before Niall Kearns burst through to bury a fine goal. Davitts finished the game out well with points from Tommy Clarke, Cian Naughton and two from impressive sub David Devane and a terrific Liam Macken goal after a clever assist from John Kilkenny.
