IHL Round 3
31st May @ Ardclough
Celbridge 4-12 Ardclough 2-11

 

A strong Celbridge side had too much for Ardclough in this deferred round three tie.

Celbridge, playing with some players  more used to the Senior ranks, such as Sam White, Paddy Moloney and Seán O’Carroll took to their task from the off and had created an eight point lead by the half-time whistle.

Ardclough though hung in there thanks to two first half goals, Kailyn Domican’s drilled effort from the penalty spot as well as Mark Lynam’s three pointer.

 Half-Time
