 South Under-21 'A' Football Final
Corner-forward, John Noonan steadied Fethard with a 41st minute point leaving it 0-8 to 0-6 but this was to be their last score as a rejuvenated Killenaule picked up the pace and shredded the tight-marking Fethard defence which had been so effective in the opening 30 minutes.
Fethard failed to come up with any response to Killenaule's onslaught and after a sixth point from sharpshooter Doyle they tightened the screw when wing-forward, Michael Farrell wrapped it up for the challengers with their second goal on 54 minutes making it 2-9 to 0-8.
Fethard's two points advantage was wiped out after Daniel McGuire had brought off two great saves in the Killenaule goal and Joe Caesar fisted home the opening goal of the game after the Fethard goalkeeper, Ronan Maher had smothered a Johnny Grace shot for goal.

Cromwell marched against it in February, 1650, but no resistance worthy of the name was made by either the garrison or the towns-people, and, consequently, all were spared the dreadful experiences of Drogheda and Wexford.
Stranger still, when we remember the general ferocity of Cromwell's course in Ireland, they escaped the alternative of "hell or Connaught," which was almost invariably presented to the antagonists of the Parliamentary army in the Green Isle.
