Kilmore Weather The Ards Storm In Intermediate Cup
The Kilmore Rec team may have been depleted when they lined up for this Intermediate Cup second round match home at The Monestary but they were certainly not defeated.

Killyleagh YC 1 Malachians 0
IAN Mannus struck with the first half winner that gave Killyleagh three precious points.
Mannus was the goalscoring hero but it took two outstanding saves from goalkeeper Michael McKenna and another superb display of leadership from Hugh Dickson to see Dee Heron’s team safely home.
Just how priceless they prove to be may not be apparent until the end of the season but Saturday’s victory at The Showgrounds completed a league double for the YC against the Greencastle outfit this season.
