Win Over Charleville in Div 1 League
June 20, 2019
Last Wednesday evening, the 5th of June in Killavullen, in a game played on the second field, Killavullen beat Charleville in the latest game in the Avondhu Division 1 Football competition, on a final score of 1-10 to 0-07. The game was marred though, by a very serious shoulder injury to talismanic Charleville centre forward, Danny O Flynn, who got injured early in the game, and had to leave the playing area by ambulance. We wish him well in his recovery.
We had the opening two points of the game from the boot of Charlie Lillis, but then fell behind when Charleville got 3 points in a row. Liam Cronin scored a fine point from a free from distance, and then Charlie scored again for us to regain the lead. Liam got another free, before Charleville got their fourth point of the game, but we managed to tack on another point before the interval, to lead on a score of 0-06 to0-04 at the short whistle.
Eoin Buckley scored a point for us after the resumption, but Charleville replied shortly afterwards, and brought the deficit down to a point with another score. Killavullen though responded with another Charlie Lillis point, and then Kevin Fox was rewarded for his good overall display, when he used his pace to get ahead of his man, and finish to the net. Liam Cronin scored another point, but Charleville cancelled out that score, and then, not to be outdone by his older brother, Liam Fox sent a booming point over the Charleville blanket defence to score a very fine point to conclude our scoring. The game finished 1-10 to 0-07 in our favour.
