Killarney U18.5 - Pan Munster Round 4 vs Kanturk - Kanturk 25 Killarney 15

After successive wins vs Tralee and Killorglin, this was a disappointing outing.

Kanturk opened scored a try early and then added a second with fewer than 10 minutes gone.  When Kanturk added a penalty, we were faced with a 15 point deficit that we were ultimately unable to claw back

We finally broke through when David Courtney finished off a good passing move. But Kanturk added another penalty before half time to lead 18-5 at the break

Killarney started the second half much better and forced Kanturk into a poor clearance kick which was fielded by Shane Morrissey, who found Alex Sheahan in support. Alex was scragged short of the line but GearΓ³id Sugrue was on hand to take the offload and crash over.  With the conversion unsuccessful, we trailed by 18-10, but were back in the game.

Kanturk scored their third try to open up a 25-10 lead, a third Killarney try scored by Mark Kennelly reduced the deficit but we were unable to close the gap.

Scorers:
Tries (3) - Courtney, Sugrue, Kennelly
