St Lomans Mullingar 2.18 Killucan 2.12

St Lomans and Killucan battled out a thriller in Lakepoint Park on Monday evening last in their championship quarter final. Substitute Nathan Mc Cullagh proved the hero for St Lomans scoring a goal to equalise deep into injury time to force the game into extra time. 

Killucan were without doubt the better team in the first half and would have been disappointed with just a two point lead at the break. The woodwork denied them two certain goals while blues goalkeeper Rory Matthews stopped another goal opportunity. Full back Rory Sheehan‘s display proved to be a thorn in their side! Fionn O Hara and Enda Gaffney were point scorers for St Lomans.

St Lomans improved in the second half and although they conceded two early points they were level heading into the final quarter thanks to points from Enda Gaffney (2), Cian Cleary and Danny Mc Cartan. Both teams traded points but a Jamie Leavy point gave the blues the lead for the first time. Killucan battled back and a quick goal and a point looked to have given them enough to win the game. St Lomans had other ideas and a move deep into injury time involving Ricardo Lingi and Konrad Kuperschmidt made its way to Nathan Mc Cullagh. The substitute showed composure beyond his years and his shot rolled into the net to force extra time. 

Extra time proved a step too far for Killucan as St Lomans kicked five unanswered points with Fionn O Hara and Ricardo Lingi among the scorers. Killucan battled their way back into the game and got their second goal with five minutes to play but points from Cian Cleary and Josh Murphy along with a Jamie Leavy goal booked St Lomans place in the semi final.
