Killacolla Gaels 4-10 (22) 🏆

Newcastlewest 3-04 (13)

The u14 footballers collected silverware at the weekend by winning the Mr Binman Division 2 football Shield competition. Killacolla went into the game as underdogs having lost 6-08 to 4-04 earlier in the season to their final opponents Newcastle West. Killacolla got off to a good start scoring 1-03 early on but NCW pegged it back just after the water break to 1-03 apiece. The NCW goal spurred the Killacolla players into action and scored a further 1-03 before the break to go in 2-06 to 1-03 ahead at the interval.

The weather was great and so was the football being played by both sets of players. Killacolla had the aid of a strong breeze in the second half and made the most of it kicking a further 2-04 before the final whistle including a spectacular 45 off the ground from Paul Murphy. Any intercounty player out there would have been proud of the kick which brought a great cheer from both sets of supporters. The game brought down the curtain on a delayed season and great credit is due to all players, parents and management for sticking with it and getting to the final.
