Kilcoole made lightwork of Barndarrig in the first round of the

intermediate championship late Sunday morning .

Kilcoole flew out of the blocks with James Toner firing over from the

centre forward position before Luke Evans hit the first major as he

finished well into the corner of the net . Tim Byrne hit a solitary reply

for Barndarrig with a white flag this was their last score for a

number of minutes as Kilcoole added on plenty of scores . They hit

four points in a row all from play through Ronan Keddy, Evans and

two long range efforts from midfielder Chris Caroll . Captain and long

serving player Vinny Quigley landed another monster point to keep

the score board ticking over . Two more quick fire goals were added

through Evans and Eoin Keddy .

Barndarrig county star Jacques McCall landed two frees in response

to this scoring frenzy . With the game heading to the break Evans

slotted along with another goal Shane Collins. Evans, who was on

fire, raised two more white flags in between a score from Mikey O’

Brien before the half time whistle .

Barndarrig were a different side after the break with a mini

comeback in the tie firing over six points with a solitary point in reply

from Evans . McCall slotted two scores before wing back John

Kinsella. Joe Murphy managed to narrow the gap before McCall fired

over two extra points . Carroll and centre back Keddy added two

more to their tally. McCall added one final point from play for his

side . With the game effectively over both sides as a contest both

sides were reduced to fourteen men with John Kinsella and Charlie

Frawley getting red cards for an off the ball scuffle . Evans added

another goal and two points too his tally before sub and former

county minor Conor Murphy added another fine goal before slotting

a point from the edge of the d. It clearly wasn’t Barndarrig’s day as

one of their defenders inadvertently put the ball into his own net as

he attempted to control it . The final minor of the game through sub
