Kilmainhamwood GFC played Dunshaughlin in their second game of the 2013 JFC D on Sunday 28th April 2013 in the scenic setting that is Kilberry and came away with a well-deserved hard-earned one point victory. Nicknamed “The Galácticos” this team can boast many SFC, IFC, Feis Cup & Division One medals and with man-mountain captain-marvel Tommy Owens leading this no-expense-spared squad the buzz is hitting the streets that something special is brewing.
The early exchanges were even enough and when Dunshaughlin launched a speculative effort towards the Kilmainhamwood goal it was nothing more than that, speculative. Unfortunately the wind caught it and it ended up in the back of the onion bag much to the dismay of the Kilmainhamwood team & supporters. Despite the early set-back this body of men proceeded unfazed. Conor Kiernan started to get a grip at midfield and fellow centre field man Aidan Crosbie was unlucky to see his initial effort drift wide. However, the veteran midfielder made no mistake from his second effort, following good showing from nearly-as-equally-veteran full forward Colm Gilcreest, and The Wood were off the mark and on the board and up and running. Indeed it was the wily full forward Gilcreest that registered the next two points following good work from Damien Russell and the now-all-too-familiar-series-of-dummies from Giller as Kilmainhamwood drew level 0:03 to 1:00. Midway through the opening period and management called for the big guns as Larry McCormack was sprung from the bench and the nippy forward had an immediately impact. He latched onto a fine through ball and feed it to captain Tommy Owens who, after his customary bounce (which he is entitled to) , elegantly guided it onto Colm Gilcreest who was hacked down and, as the referee slowly made his reluctant way from the middle of the field to come up to where the play was happening it became clear he was going to award a “peno”. Tommy Owens as captain handed responsibility to Damien Russell who dispatched her with ease to the bottom left hand corner as you look at it. Dunshaughlin rallied and scored a fine point to leave it 1:03 to 1:01 going into the final stages of the half. Colm Gilcreest was proving the torn in the Dunshaughlin side and after good work from Francis Owens on the 40, Giller was on-cue and potted another long range effort. Larry McCormack was involved is all things good about the Kilmainhamwood play and was fouled as half time approached. Aidan Crosbie slotted over the resultant free to leave The ‘Wood with a 1:05 to 1:02 half time lead.
Damien Cunningham was introduced at the break to sure up the defence and renewed his partnership with rock solid Stephen Smith at fullback. Conor Kiernan was on the end of a wonderful move involving Larry McCormack, David Dolan and Jude Collins. Minutes into the second half and the K-wood management team played their final and trump card when Ray “Razor” Madden was sprung from the bench … he was late for the match because he was baby-sitting (I know, I can’t believe it either). However, Ray is no baby-sitter on the pitch and was quickly into the action hitting the top of the post from an acute angel and was aware enough to follow it in and collect the rebound before being unceremoniously hauled to the ground … but the referee didn’t see it because he was in his 10 meter square in the middle of the field. Aidan Crosbie scored from a free following good play from Giller & Larry. There then followed the most bizarre incident in the match when Tommy Owens inexplicably hand passed into the Dunshaughlin net from only a few yards out. The rationale later given was that if he had shot for goal and the goalie saved it that would have provided an enormous lift to the opposition so he decided otherwise … up there for thinking, down there for dancing. With the score at 1:07 to 1:04 in favour of Kilmainhamwood things were looking good and lesser men would have thought they were home & hosed. However Dunshaughlin were not done yet and rattled off three points in quick succession to level proceeding. We were in squeaky bum territory and the move of the match involving David Dolan close the side-line, Jude Collins and Colm Gilcreest resulted in a 35 meter free. Captain marvel Tommy Owens handed responsibility to Aidan Crosbie who split the posts with plenty to spare to give Kilmainhamwood a deserved 1:08 to 1:07 victory.
