At Silverpark on Thursday night 29th April 2010 Kilmacud Crokes Junior E hurlers defeated Na Fianna by 3-8 to 1-7 in the opening game of the 2010 championship.

The visitors led 1-5 to 1-3 at the interlude during the run up to which the home net minder Gavin Hyland was by far the busier. A goal and a point from Ciaran McGrath plus a minor from Ian O’Keeffe between minutes thirty five and forty turned the game Crokes way. When O’Keeeffe finished a 65 to the net with a quarter of an hour remaining Crokes were 3-5 to 1-5 ahead. In the remaining period the Kilmacud team added three points before the last white flag was raised by Na Fianna in overtime.

Among the winners best were goalkeeper Hyland, Ronan Egan, Pat Kennedy, Steven Beale, Gary Melican and Ian O’Keeffe. Team: G Hyland, S Boyd, B Brennan, R Egan, S Beale, P Kennedy, B Halpin, N McIntyre, S O’Keeffe, G Melican, J Byrne, K Noctor, I O’Keeffe, N Martin, C McGrath.
