Mulleady Group Intermediate Football Championship Group Stage - Round 7
St Brigid’s Killashee . . . 2-9 Cashel . . . 0-13
The crucial turning point of this close contest came in the 57th minute. Cashel were leading by a point when a poor kick-out was intercepted by Iarlaith Dolan and he linked up with Gerard Evans who let the ball into Mark Rossiter who was fouled as he was about to shoot in a goal attempt.
Referee David Tiernan awarded a penalty which was calmly dispatched to the net by Dylan Farrell for the last score of the match with the winning goal sealing a last four encounter for Killashee against Sean Connolly’s at the expense of Cashel who are now out of the championship.
