	Carlow Nationalist - 2000/11/03: as Kilcullen get level
		Kilcullen, who were now beginning to dictate exchanges, came close again three minutes later when Tadgh Shanaghan went on a run down the left.
		Kilcullen exerted early pressure in the second half and Shanaghan turned well in the St Patrick’s box but keeper Langan again came to the rescue with a fine reflex save.
		There was now no way back for St Patrick’s but to their credit they battled to the end and were denied a consolation score with eight minutes remaining when Kilcullen keeper Kenny Fanning saved brilliantly from James Feeney whose volley from 15 yards seemed destined for the Kilcullen net.

		Kilcullen says the success of the company lies in being "unconventional and contrarian," in its marketing plans.
		He cites the garish yellow covers and the intentionally condescending name as features traditional publishers eschewed but which Kilcullen figures were a major element of the original and continuing success of the books.
