For the opening ten minutes of this game Kildress looked like they were going to take by the throat the huge challenges they faced at the bottom of Division II. That initial blitz saw them race into a ten-point lead, 3-2 to 0-1, the goals from Pauric Lagan, Marty McGurk and a Philip Lennon penalty. For the remaining 50 minutes however, they collapsed alarmingly and fell away so badly that The Harps outscored them by 4-13 to 1-6 to clinch a 4-14 to 4-8 victory, even though they played with 14 men for much of the second-half. Kildress were simply unable to cope with whatever way Stewartstown chose to play it, be it ‘route one’ or a running game, and couldn’t get their own game right either. In the space of six days The Tones have now conceded 7-27 and haven’t won a match since mid-May. But, where there’s life there has to be hope!
