Rearcross U-14's faced a difficult Cup tie against a strong Killavilla side last Saturday morning in Rearcross and went under on a five nil score line to the Premier Division side from Roscrea, an entertaining first half saw Killavilla take a two nil lead to the break after Rearcross enjoyed a large share of the possession but failed to make it count on the score sheet. A good high ball in from the left by Cormac McDonnell had the visiting keeper in all sorts of trouble as the wind played havoc with the flight of the ball, however the net minder did well to tip the ball out from under the cross bar, Colm Nolan threw himself at the ball as it dropped but his slight contact failed to steer the ball goal bound. A few minutes later Colm Nolan did well to earn a corner after a through ball from Ger Grace out on the right, William Horrigan delivered a good ball but the visiting defence dealt with the danger. After the restart Killavilla took full advantage of the stiff wind and began to set up plenty of chances, Greg Kennedy produced some good saves in both halves, turning a fine header around the post in the first half and then stopping a point blank shot at the edge of the six yard box in the second period, however there was little he could do to keep out a Killavilla attack who tacked on three more goals in the second half. Rearcross had good performances on the day from Greg Kennedy, Sean Hickey and Ger Grace.
