1997

U16 Division 2 League

Kilmihil had a good run in the U16 Division 2 league with victories over Doonbeg, 1-8 to 1-5 and Killimer 3-13 to 2-7. The final was played in Cooraclare on 17th May 1997 and their opponents were Kilrush.

With Shane Mangan dominating mid-field Kilmihil led at half time by 0-5 to 0-2 but should have been further ahead following a missed penalty which was just inches wide of the target. Kilrush dominated the second half and took a one point lead however the crucial score came when substitute David Lorigan finished a high centre to the net. Kilrush pressed hard but their efforts only yielded a single point as the Kilmihil defence held solid and Kilmihil held on to win by a point.
