Well done to the Under 21 Hurlers who earned a hard-fought 0-20 to 2-10 victory over Ballinahinch–Templederry last Sunday afternoon in Templederry in the final game of the group stages. Kiladangan held a 0-9 to 1-4 lead at half-time. The combo levelled the game with a goal in the 43rd minute and soon after took the lead, but Kiladangan finished strongly, with three Jos Slattery points in as many minutes midway through the half helping to secure the win.

This victory secures second place in the group for the lads and a spot in the Quarter Finals, where they will take on Lorrha Rovers this coming Sunday, 23rd November at 2.00 pm in Puckane.

Well done to the Under 17 footballers who claimed the North 'B' Football title last Saturday evening in UL after a 5-13 to 2-12 victory over a gallant Portroe side in what was an entertaining game of football.

Portroe fought back well, reducing the margin to three with two goals just before half-time, leaving the score at 3-5 to 2-5 in Kiladangan's favour at the interval.

Simon Cleary added a two-pointer early in the second half, with further goals from James O'Dwyer and Eoin Kelly helping to secure the victory. Kiladangan captain Cullum Ryan accepted the cup after the game.
