Match Report
For the second year in a row the shams bowed out of the U21 championship at the quarter final stage. Playing against a very strong wind
in the first half the shams were on the back foot almost immediately when Jamie Gilligan was sent off. It took the shams a while to recover
from this early blow and it was not long until they found themselves 3 points down. Some stalwart defending from Chris Dixon, Butcher Moloney
and Donal Madigan kept Kilmihil at bay for most of the first half. Following relentless pressure from Kilmihil they picked off a number
of good scores near the end of the first half to leave the half time score Kilmihil -8, Kilrush -1.
The Kilrush management team made a number of changes at half time and the move of Chris Dixon from full back to full forward proved very
successful. Kilmihil kicked the first score of the second half but from then on the shams dominated the game kicking the next seven scores.
Three scores came from the boot of Chris Dixon, three from Rory O'Connor and one from Shane Honan. With 10 mins remaining the game could
have gone either way with the next score going to be decisive but unfortunately it went to Kilmihil. It proved to be the final score of
the game.
Kilrush Team: Joe McInerney, Shane Honan (-1), Chris Dixon (-3), Sean Downes, Seamus Bolton, Matthew Moloney, Donal Madigan, John Hayes,
David Moran, Sean Lahiffe, Cathal Lyons, Gavin Duffy, Rory O'Connor (-4), Ronan Gilbride, Jamie Gilligan.
Subs: Mark O'Donnell for Ronan Gilbride.

Round 1
Kilrush Shamrocks -7 Doonbeg -13
Match Report
The shams U21 team lost their quarter final tie with Doonbeg by -13 to -7 last Friday evening
in Cooraclare. The shams who played in to the breeze in the first half struggled to contain the good movement of the
Doonbeg forward line and trailed -10 to -3 at half time.
To their credit they tried to rally in the second half but some bad decision making and Doonbeg scoring vital scores at the right time
ensured that the shams journey would end at the first hurdle.
Kilrush Team: John O'Brien, Christopher Dixon, Danny Lynch, Ronan Thornton, Matther Moloney, John Hayes, Sean Downes,
Padraig O'Flynn (-1), Paddy Clancy (-1), Shane Honan, Cathal Lyons, Brian Moran, Sean Naughton, Ruairi O'Connor (-3),
Jamie Gilligan (-2)
Colm Hogan for Brian Moran; Sean Lafiffe for Cathal Lyons (inj), Seamus Bolton for Sean Downes.
