Storm Dennis was in full flow in Grangegodden today as Navan O’Mahony’s made the trip up the M3 for this Feis Cup clash.

A pointed free by Seamus Mattimoe on 22nd minute gave Kells the lead and three minutes later Mattimoe’s younger brother Cormac was on the end of a breaking ball to fire to the back of the net. Seamus added another point along with points from Oisin Reilly and Evan Sheridan left Gaeil Colmcille 1-06 to 0-02 ahead at half-time.
A point by McGovern from an advanced mark in the 33rd minute set Kells on their way early in the second half, two minutes later wing-back Liam Ferguson popped up with a wonderful score from just inside the 45. Navan O’Mahony’s did respond with two points in a row before Kells closed out the game thanks to a point from McGovern and another excellent score from Ferguson with the outside of the boot on the left sideline to give Kells the nine point victory.
