Kilmacud Crokes 1-17 –v- Naomh Olafs 0-9

 

This AHL3 game played at Silverpark on Saturday 23rd July 2011 ended with a victory for Crokes over our neighbours Naomh Olafs on a scoreline of 1-17 to 0-9. 

 

 

Crokes led at half-time by 2-5 to 0-4. The game was played in a very sporting manner throughout.  Although the score line suggests it was an easy win for Crokes that was not the case as the first half was very evenly contested and Olafs attacked us with everything in the second half.  However, our defence was good and held out.  Best for Crokes were Alex Pilkington, Niall Lillis, Dillon Mulligan and Fergal Armstrong.

 

The final round of games on 13th August will determine the two promotion places.  As matters stand Crokes are in second position on 15 points, ahead of their final match opponents St Vincents on score difference.  Vincents were replaced on the top perch by their Saturday conquerors Clanna Gael, now on 16 points.

 

Scorers for Crokes were F Armstrong 0-10 (9f)(1)65 A Pilkington 0-4 B O Leidhin 0-2 C Sheehan 1-0 C Conway 0-1
