Kilcormac-Killoughey survived a stern challenge from Castletown-Geoghegan to win their Leinster SHC semi-final in a close encounter. Adam Screeney's late goal proved crucial for Kilcormac-Killoughey, who ultimately emerged victorious despite a spirited performance from the Westmeath side.
Leinster club SHC semi-final: Kilcormac-Killoughey 2-13 Castletown-Geoghegan 1-13, but a late Adam Screeney goal for Kilcormac-Killoughey prevented history being made in a pulsating penultimate round game in Mullingar.
With a useful wind behind them, Castletown-Geoghegan deservedly led by 0-8 to 0-5 at the interval, including three late unanswered points from Shane Clavin, Morgan Gavigan and Peter Clarke, who scored from a superb lineball in the last puck of the half. Before Gavigan’s point, both sides had goal chances with Screeney denied by Ciaran O’Brien, and the outstanding Niall O’Brien was thwarted by Conor Slevin.
