In the second half it was Kilskyres turn to avail of the wind with goals from Keith Mc Guinness and Derek Muldoon and points from Tom Shine, Peadar Byrne and three superb points from James O’Higgins. Kilskyre drew level with minutes to go. Final score after the hour Donaghmore Ashbourne 2-10 to Kilskyre 2-10 and extra time required.

With points from Peadar Byrne and an equaliser from James O’Higgins, Kilskyre were level again. With a minute left Michael Geraghty raced onto a loose ball, side stepped two oncoming backs and blasted to the net to clinch it for Kilskyre, who had some outstanding preformances all over the field.

Kevin Devine in goal brought off a couple of excellant saves, Podge Muldoon, Colm Mallon and Benji Smith in the backs, Peadar Byrne in midfield who ran the show throughout, in the forwards the Geraghty brothers, James O’Higgins and Dereck Muldoon were superb.

Kilskyre 0-10 Dunboyne 1-6

Kilskyre hammered history when they raked up one of the most impressive victories in the club’s history when they saw off the challenge of a well-organised Kilmessan side, that fought to the very end.

The Kilskyre men started off at one hundred miles an hour, burning out the scoreboard, with Sean Geraghty, Tom Shine and a fabulous individual goal from wing back Benji Smith. Also, the outstanding Keith McGuinness, who in the space of ten minutes, notched up two goals and two points. 

Kilskyre were in free flow to go in at half time 4-10 to 0-04 to the good. 

In the second half, Kilmessan tried to pull back the scoreline, but to no avail. The Kilskyremen kicked on even more and dominated every line on the pitch with Podge Muldoon safe as a house in full back, and Man of the Match Gary Reilly in the backs, Michael Geraghty in midfield, Colm Mallon on the forty, who tore the Kilmessan backs apart before he went off injured.

Kevin Devine in goal, backs Thomas Nugent, Podge Muldoon, Tom Short, Gary Reilly, Pa Baugh, Benji Smith, midfielders Michael Geraghty and Derek Muldoon and forwards Niall Farrelly, Colm Mallon, James O’Higgins, Keith McGuinness, Tom Shine, the subs Junior O’Reilly, Darren Morgan and James Baugh and the outstanding Seanie Geraghty.
