  Carlow Nationalist - 2004/03/10: Graiguecullen/Killeshin - Killeshin parade
KILLESHIN SCHOOL: Congratulations to all the boys and girls from Killeshin School sixth class who were confirmed by Bishop Moriarty on Sunday, February 29, in Holy Cross Church, Killeshin.
Killeshin had both teams in action with their first team having a 1-1 draw in the league against Town Celtic.
Killeshin then defended their slender lead, launching the occasional break-out raid on Celtic and were unlucky not to have added further goals by Philip Shanahan and Liam Dowling.

 Laois Nationalist: Soccer: Killeshin survive a late Bagenalstown recovery
NOT quiet uncomfortably close to relegation Killeshin’s cause was certainly helped when Barry Ryan’s speculative cross squirmed from the grasp of Bagenalstown custodian T. Clarke who was momentarily reduced to the role of spectator before Jonathan Lyons swooped to tap in the loose ball and secure Killeshin the lead on six minutes.
As the exchanges developed Killeshin were glad of this margin of comfort but it was not to last very long against a determined Bagenalstown outfit and James McEvoy deservedly equalised on 25 minutes.
Killeshin might have been forgiven for thinking that Bagenalstown were dead and buried but during the course of the following exchanges Peter Doyle agonized as he thundered a shot off the Killeshin woodwork before Pat O’Neill twice failed to convert scoring chances of the ‘gift’ variety by the end of the third quarter.

The Dublin based AUL Premier division outfit tore into Killeshin with the expectation of quickly dismantling their defensive arrangements but were to learn that Killeshin custodian Tom Kennedy was commanding his area in a manner that prevented the dangerous Sheriff forward line getting a clear sight of their target.
Killeshin were to pay a heavy price for their profligacy in front of goal when their defence failed to properly clear a Sheriff corner and they fell behind on 83minutes.
At this stage of proceedings the game was salvageable and Killeshin kept their cohesion as they sought a deserved equaliser but the best chance carved out fell to Cathal Brennan who cracked a goalbound effort but agonised as the deflected ball clipped a post.

 Kildare Nationalist: Youthful Killeshin unlucky
Killeshin took the lead on 28 minutes against the run of play with a cracker of a goal by young Gary Brennan, which was well worked by the Killeshin forwards.
Carlow Rovers pushed hard for the equaliser and were awarded for their efforts when Kevin O’Neill slotted the ball past the Killeshin ’keeper after good work on the right wing by Johan Wingerblixt on the stroke of half time.
Killeshin then pushed forward, looking for the equaliser but Declan Cuddy and Damien Byrne were rock solid in defence for Rovers and when Kevin O’Neill, on 70 minutes, finished off a cracking shot by Johan Wingerblixt, which rebounded off the upright.

 Laois Nationalist: Soccer: Killeshin get going early
Killeshin continued to play cohesively but gradually Crettyard improved to a point where the contest for midfield possession was definitely going Crettyard’s way thanks to the Killeshin’s passing deteriorating and a wayward pass allowed Crettyard to gain possession before firing a great shot to the Killeshin net in the 32nd minute.
Having conceded the lead and the games momentum Killeshin were now forced to reinforce their defensive positions by a Crettyard unit seeking what would have been a deserved lead but some less than satisfactory finishing let a very relieved Killeshin off the hook by half time.
The second half was an entirely different story as Killeshin managed to quickly re-establish their grasp and control of the midfield exchanges thanks to the sterling efforts of Garry Brennan and Cathal Brennan.

Certainly the Killeshin portal has been disassembled and reassembled at some stage in its history, and several stones are missing - the portal is not as intact as it at first appears.
The decoration itself on the portal is extremely fine, and it should particularly be noted that among the chevrons of the voussoirs, and filling up the spandrels, are a variety of small beasts and birds, which seem to show manuscript and metalwork influence.
