Killard U-16 footballers have topped Group 2 of the ‘B’ Football Championship ahead of Balyna, Confey and Eadestown thanks to a six point win against Confey in the final group match.

Killard started slowly against a strong Confey side and were five points to no score behind after 15 minutes.

The amalgamation gathered themselves by half-time and narrowed the gap to two points, 0-06 to 0-04.

Confey started the second half well also and struck a great goal five minutes after the resumption.

That goal sparked Killard into life and they totally dominated the next 20 minutes, kicking 2-11 in the last 25 minutes, with Confey only managing two goals.

Some top class football was on view and Killard grew in confidence with every score.
