County League
It has been a busy week for the club in the county league. The seniors had a hard fought 1-11 to 0-13 win over Upperchurch Drombane in Division 1 of the league last Wednesday evening (13th) with a first half Billy Seymour goal the difference between the sides. This result now puts Kiladangan top of the group with 5 points after 4 games. They go into their last game against Clonoulty Rossmore needing a win to ensure of a spot in the Semi Final stages. This game will take place this coming Sunday (24th) at 2 pm in Puckane.
The Intermediates lost out to Gortnahoe Glengoole on a 1-15 to 2-17 in Division 4 of the County League Monday week ago (11th June) in Puckane. The lads were down by 13 points at half time after a lack lustre first half performance but upped the ante in the second half but it wasn’t enough to claim victory. Tommy Connors was the Kiladangan goal scorer.
They were out in action again last Sunday (17th June) against neighbours Shannon Rovers in a high scoring affair where they lads were very unlucky to lose out on a 5-14 to 2-25 scoreline with Darragh Egan (x2), Stephen James Gleeson (x2) and Johnny McGrath the Kiladangan goalscorers. Kiladangan were a point up late into the game but three unanswered points clinched the win for the Rovers.
They now have Clonoulty Rossmore and Ballybacon Grange left to play in the group stages. Please refer to the clubs website and social media for fixture details once confirmed. Kiladangan currently sit 5th in a group of 7 and will need a win to ensure that they avoid relegation to Division 5.

Donations should be placed in a plastic bag, which should then be tied. Bags can be brought to the pitch in Pocan during any juvenile training session or match and left in the designated dressing rjoom - the one with the door on the side of the building beside the referee's room.
