Kilskyre/Moylagh v Trim Group B I.H.C. Sunday 28.8.22 at Athboy
Final Score: Kilskyre/Moylagh 5.18 Trim 2.11
Kilskyre/Moylagh booked their place in the knockout stages of this year’s Intermediate Hurling Championship with a convincing win over Trim in this Group B game played in Athboy on Sunday afternoon. The winners signalled their intent in the early minutes and boosted by a 2nd minute Willie McGrath goal they led 1.3 to 0.1 after 8 minutes. Trim got back into the match with a 10th minute goal but Daire Shine netted in the 15th minute to give Kilskyre/Moylagh a significant boost. Trim remained in contention for the following 10 minutes through 5 frees from their full forward. Kilskyre/Moylagh proceeded to hit 6 points in the final 6 minutes of the half through Tom Shine (3) Sean Geraghty (2) and a long-range effort from Sean Tunney to give them a deserved 2.13 to 1.6 lead at the interval.
The second half lacked the intensity of the first half with the sides exchanging goals in the first 4 minutes. Tom Shine netted for the winners and Trim responded with a goal immediately when they netted following a shot being stopped and the defence failing to clear. Trim’s 5 points in the second half all came from placed balls and Kilskyre/Moylagh ensured their place in the quarter finals with goals from Daire Shine and one in the final minutes from substitute Matthew Farrelly together with points from the Shine brothers and McGrath.
Others to impress for Kilskyre/Moylagh were Lorcan Maguire, Michael Geraghty and Jimmy Boyle.
