Kilree Celtic 5

Baltinglass 2

Kilree kept up the pressure on league leaders Parkville and remained unbeaten after another fine home win. It was the home side who started the quickest and on 6 minutes Alan mac Donald was taken down and the ref gave a free kick, Gary Dillon stood over it and hit the top corner to make it one nil. Alan MacDonald was causing havoc and when he was put through on goal in the 31st minute the defender took him down and the ref awarded a pen which Alan Salter took and put it away to make it two nil at half time. Baltinglass got themselves back into game on 48 minutes when a through ball from Robbie Ryan set up Chris Heaslip who scored to make it two one. Kilree weren’t to be outdone and for all his hard work Alan mac Donald finally scored on 60 minutes to make it three one to Kilree with a fine run and finish. Gary Dillon sent Alan mac Donald through and again he put the ball in the net to make it four one to kilree with his second goal of the game. Baltinglass got another when the same two players combined, and Robbie Ryans fine pass set Heaslip up for his second goal of the game to make it four two on 77 minutes. Alan mac Donald man of match was to have the final say when he struck again on 82 minutes to complete his hat trick. Played well for kilree were Mick Murphy, David MacDonald, Alan mac Donald. Best for Baltinglass were Lee Furlong, Robbie Ryan and Eoin Gleeson.
