Well done to the Junior 'A' hurlers who commenced their North Junior 'A' League campaign last Wednesday 17th April with a 1-19 to 2-10 victory away to Nenagh Eire Og. Kiladangan started brightly and led 0-5 to 0-1 after six minutes - however two Eire Og goals on the 11th and 18th minutes helped to give the town side a 2-4 to 0-9 lead at the interval. Kiladangan's shooting improved in the second half, when they outscored Eire Og by 0-7 to 0-1 in the third quarter of the game to give Kiladangan a five point lead. Eire Og brought the deficit back to two points but a Shane Gleeson goal from the penalty spot (after Eoin Meagher was dragged to the ground) proved to be the winning of the game with Kiladangan securing victory by six points.
