Kilcummin News
DANCERS from the Moriarty School of Dancing teams made the long trip to Athenry, Co Galway to take part in the Into the West set dancing competition last Sunday. Once again this talented group of dancers enjoyed great success on the day with three first placings, one second and three third.
Congratulations to all the dancers for their achievements and a big thank you to all who travelled to support them. Thanks also to Joanne McCarthy for organising the bus and to Andrew for driving it.
Seniors: Kilcummin travelled to Glenflesk for a County League clash on Sunday last and came away with a point after a competitive and entertaining encounter. Trailing by five points after 20 minutes and with Glenflesk playing very well ,it looked a daunting task but a goal by Damien O Leary, after an incisive run by William Maher, brought Kilcummin back into contention.
In the second half Glenflesk levelled quickly and from there to the final whistle it was tit for tat with Glenflesk levelling with a free kick at the death. Best for Kilcummin were Brendan Kealy, Philip Casey, Kevin Gorman, Sean O’Leary and Padraig Nagle on day when all 20 players contributed hugely.
The next outing is next Saturday at 5.30p, in Beaufort against Glenbeigh Glencar in the Castleisland Mart Intermediate Championship.
