Kilcar get first win after good second half display in Bundoran

Kilcar proved too strong in the second half as they took their first league points against Bundoran at Gaelic Park on Saturday evening.

Bundoran 1-9
Kilcar 1-16

In a very open game of football the first six points were shared by the 8th minute. Mark McHugh (2) and Daniel Lyons found the mark for Kilcar while Jacub Machunik got the opener for Bundoran and Darragh Hoey chipped in with two great scores in quick succession.
Kilcar then took a grip of the game with the next fie points to lead 0-8 to 0-3. Mark McHugh hit three of them while Ciaran McGinley and Seanie Boyle also pointed.
But the game turned again on the 20th minute when Matthew Duffy found Cian McEniff found a gap and drove to the roof of the net from 20 metres.
Ryan O'Donnell added a point but the momentum was swinging back to Bundoran and two Cian McEniff frees had them back within a point.

Stephen McBrearty pointed for Kilcar on 28 minutes but Timmy Govorov broke from half-back to score and the evergreen Darragh Hoey fired over his third of the half to leave them all square at the break - Bundoran 1-7, Kilcar 0-10.
The second half started with the sides getting a quick point each from Stephen McBrearty and Cian McEniff, but just like the opening half Kilcar then hit four in-a-row from McBrearty, Ciaran McGinley, Brian O'Donnell and Andrew McClean before Stephen McBrearty fired home a goal (despite a great effort from Conor Carty to stop) and the game was out of reach of the home side.
That was on 48 minutes and there was just two more points scored, Adam Gallagher for the home side and Seanie Boyle for Kilcar.
Bundoran did have a couple of goal chances in the half with Eoin Love doing well to take a Jacub Machunik effort while Brian O'Donnell made a great block to deny Peadar McHenry.
