McKeever magic sinks Celbridge
KEVIN LYNCH’S 2-15 CELBRIDGE 1-4
Goals in either half from Odhran McKeever and Pauric McNicholl were crucial for Derry club Kevin Lynch’s, as they had all of 14 points to spare over a spirited Celbridge outfit.
The winners were seven points to the good at the interval — 1-7 to 0-3 — thanks in no small part to a 1-3 haul from outstanding corner-forward McKeever.
