Oskars co-stars share the spoils
Division 2
Glenflesk 1-11
Kilcummin 1-11
Off the field, the GAA clubs of Glenflesk and Kilcummin have come together in recent weeks to collaborate on a novel fund-raising project that saw members recreate scenes from famous movies and TV shows. It's great to see two fierce rivals join forces in such a positive manner but the armistice was set to one side for an hour last Sunday as their respective senior teams came head-to-head in Division 2 of the County League.
Fittingly, both clubs walked away with a share of the spoils.
Glenflesk started well in Barraduff and a goal from the dangerous Darragh Roche gave them an early advantage. Kilcummin finished the first half strongly, however, and a Damien O’Leary goal along with points from Noel Duggan had them two points up at the break.
Kilcummin still led by two midway through the second but after substitute Shane McSweeney got the road, a pair of points from Roche drew Glenflesk level. Donal Maher put the visitors ahead very late on but Roche was on hand again to convert a long range free to save the day for Glenflesk.
