A super second-half comeback from five points behind at half-time gave Kilcar a winning start to the 2021 championship campaign at O Donnell Park in ideal conditions.

Patrick McBrearty again led the way in scoring 1-07 but Matthew McClean was the star turn for the winners , kicking 0-05 Brillant scores from play , all out of the top drawer.

The home team edged the opening seventeen minutes up to the waterbreak and led by a point , 0-05 to 0-04.

Eunans dominated after the break , Shane 0 Donnell , Padraig McGettigan and added points to extend the lead to four points , and then Shaun Patton’s kick-out found Shaun McGettigan , he found Kieran Tobin racing forward and he offloaded to Eoin McGeehin who blasted past Kevin Campbell to leave it 1-08 to 0-05 to Eunans .

Patrick McBrearty converted his third free and fourth point and at half-time it was 1-08 to 0-06.
