Another county title was delivered recently when Kiltormer defeated Annaghdown in the Co. Junior C final. The game, played at a sunny Craughwell venue, was full of good quality hurling and both sides fielded a number of fine players (young and not so young!). Kiltormer were first out of the blocks with a fine goal from Martin Kilkenny, but within minutes Annaghdown had struck back with a goal from Ronnie Newell and a point from Kieran O’Connor. An injury to Ger Kelly resulted in the introduction of veteran Aidan Staunton and this certainly had an effect on the outcome of the game as he proceeded to dominate the half back position. At this stage Justin Campbell had also come into the game and he tagged on 3 super points and this combined with a number of Damian Curley frees, and a super goal from Liam Kilkenny helped Kiltormer to a six point lead at half-time.
