One-sided contest settled by half-time when Kilcoo raced into a 1-8 to 0-1 lead
The mercilessly efficient machine that is Kilcoo had simply too much power for a game but outgunned Derrygonnelly Harps in this hard-fought affair at Brewster Park.
Derrygonnelly had a much better second half as Kilcoo lost influential midfielder Ryan Johnston to a black card. Ryan and Garvan Jones hit two fine points, but a turnover knocked their revival for six. Kilcoo got off the mark on the fifth minute when the fleet-footed wing-back Eugene Brannigan raced through the centre of the Harps defence unchallenged for the opening score. Kilcoo looked yards faster than their bigger but ponderous opponents as midfielder Ryan Johnston put his side two points in front by the seventh minute.Kilcoo keeper Niall Kane landed a 45 as Branagan once again flew through a Harps defence that looked as wide open as Bundoran on a 12th Weekend.
