Good weekend for AFC

Here's an update on the Sunday performances of Kilcullen AFC Senior sides, writes Ray Kelly.

Men's 2nd team - played out a 1-1 draw with Monasterevin and that result leaves Kilcullen in second place. Some dubious refereeing decisions saw the lads put in a tough graft to get the draw. A good season overall - well done.

Men's 1st team - what a game ... 3-0 down after 20 minutes it looked as if it was all over versus Birr Town in the Leinster Junior Cup Round 2. But this never say die Kilculen side pulled up their socks to go on and win the game 4-3, getting the winner 15 mins from time and holding out superbly. Super result.

Finally, the FAI Junior Cup-winning Ladies team, defended their League title superbly in a tight game that ended 1-1 which left Kilcullen and yesterday's opponents Bridge United tied at the top of the league. To decide the league winners a playoff will now be needed. Another day out for the ladies to complete a fantastic season.

Many thanks for the great support over the three games and to the players for three great spectator games.
