A miserable wet and windy morning saw two teams try to grab the three points on offer in the south Kilkenny derby. We drew first blood with Tommy K rifling home a low effort from the edge of the box. Ryan S went close on a number of occasions, but the Piltown keeper pulled off some top saves. We conceded a soft equaliser midway through the first half but bounced back with Will D swinging in a corner, which went all the way to the net. The second half saw us dig in and we were grateful to John M for standing between the sticks with him gathering a number of Piltown efforts. Not a pretty affair by a long shot, but three points secured with all 12 on duty digging deep in tough conditions.
