JAHC Final 2006 - Kilworth vs Charleville
Channel: Thomas Twomey
Date: 2019-02-22

Shanballymore was the venue for the North Cork final on Sunday 10th September and Charleville who had beaten us in the league earlier were the opposition. Without anyone saying it we were determined to become only the second junior hurling team from Kilworth to win back to back North Cork titles. The only previous time Kilworth managed 2 North Cork titles in a row, 1966 and 1967 that team went on to win the club's only county title in 1967.

On a perfect day for hurling and following a superb game we eventually got on top in the last quarter to win by 1.17 to 0.12 but it was much closer than the final scoreline suggests. Paudie lynch scored the all important goal late on to finally give us the edge. It was a second half to savour as our players all over the field rose to the occasion and especially our defence who were magnificent all through.
