U21 Senior Championship
Killeavy edged out Silverbridge on Sunday afternoon in the only u21 Senior Championship game of the weekend.
Both teams fielded fairly strong outfits and there was plenty of Senior Championship experience on the pitch.
A three-point from Sean Conlon wasn’t enough for Silverbridge to get something from the game.
Three was the difference in the end as Killeavy raised a green flag of their own through Finn Nolan. That secured a 1-14 to 1-11 victory.
