Knockane Vs. Caherline in Kilteely at 7.15pm
Knockane 1-6, Caherline 3-10
In a game played in wet conditions, an under-strength Knockane side, Caherline took control of the game from the start and forged ahead at half-time. Knockane only response was 2 pointed frees from Pa Hennessy. Knockane trailed by 0-2 to 0-6 at the interval.
Knockane increased their effort in the second half, but it was Caherline who struck with 3 goals to seal the victory. Pa Hennessy had a late goal and points from Lance Carroll and Willie O'Donnell proved too little, too late. Overall a very disappointing match, the team never played to its full potential, however credit must go to selectors Roger Butler and Paschal O'Connell along with trainer Pat Heffernan (Snr.) for his help in recent weeks.
