Kilmurry\u2019s hopes of another county title remain alive and kicking after an eye-catching display in defeating Boherbue in the McCarthy Insurance Group IAFC semi-final at Mourneabbey on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The Muskerry side won the County JAFC and Premier JFC crowns in 2022 and 2024 respectively, and will now meet either Buttevant or Adrigole, who face each other on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Five two-pointers set them on their way in the opening 30 minutes. Wind-assisted Kilmurry were nine points to the good at half-time and it was the same margin when all was said and done, but their second-half performance was equally impressive against the wind, even if it did ease slightly.<\/p>\n
They had quality, composure and a great understanding of each other. They had a greater spread of scorers, with seven in total compared to Boherbue\u2019s two, while John Corkery finished with 1-6 for the losing team.<\/p>\n
Kilmurry were aided by a very strong wind, which had a massive bearing on the game.<\/p>\n

Corkery got Boherbue up and running with a fisted effort, but Kilmurry replied with five scores on the trot, including two-pointers from Liam Wall and Ruadh\u00e1n \u00d3 Currao\u00edn.<\/p>\n
David O\u2019Connor landed a free for his side, but another \u00d3 Currao\u00edn orange flag opened up a 0-9 to 0-2 cushion after 14 minutes.<\/p>\n
Denis O\u2019Mullane tacked on a free before their opponents goaled after 20 minutes. David O\u2019Connor planted the ball into the net after a great run.<\/p>\n
The wind was a huge advantage and Kilmurry had no shortage of long-range kickers.<\/p>\n
Both Lawrence Asling and Wall kicked two-pointers as Kilmurry led 0-14 to 1-2 at half-time.<\/p>\n
Boherbue had the wind advantage in the second half and made the best possible start with a Corkery goal after David O\u2019Connor\u2019s shot hit the crossbar.<\/p>\n
Kilmurry remained composed, however, and points from Denis O\u2019Mullane (free) and Kyle Kelleher gave them a 0-16 to 2-2 cushion after 39 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u00d3 Currao\u00edn was also unlucky not to score a goal.<\/p>\n
Corkery converted a 45, but \u00d3 Currao\u00edn did get his green flag 12 minutes from time from close range.<\/p>\n
The impressive Se\u00e1n O\u2019Leary fisted over before a Corkery two-pointer left Boherbue trailing 1-17 to 2-5 with six minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

There would be no dramatic finale. Kilmurry added two quick-fire points before a Corkery two-point free showed his side\u2019s battling qualities.<\/p>\n
