Tim McMahon provides a report (with video below) as Tralee CBS start Corn Ui Mhuiri campaign with victory over IS Killorglin…
Tralee CBS 2-15
ISK 1-11
Tralee CBS played ISK in Pairc Eamonn, Firies last Wednesday afternoon under horrid conditions. After a poor start to the year by failing to get out of their group in O’Sullivan Cup, Tralee CBS were under pressure coming into this game as a result.
ISK scored the first two points of the game before Sean Quilter’s pointed free opened up his and The Green’s tally.
ISK were controlling the game early on but a combination of brilliant kick passing from Armin Heinrich and Joe Lenihan and execution from Conor Hayes and Sean Quilter brought the game level at six points each with twenty minutes played.

The Green went through a spell of dominance where they kicked 1-3 without reply. With both teams trading scores for the remainder of the half, The Green went in at halftime five points clear. HT: Tralee CBS 1-10 ISK 0-08.
After a shaky start to the second half by both team, Cian Purcell stepped up to ease all nerves after 12 minutes gone with a superb strike that hit the back of the net.
The Green regained possession from this kickout and Sean Quilter’s shot from his right boot sailed over the bar.
The Green were down to 14 men when Luke Chester was sent to the line with 46 minutes played.
ISK restored hope with a well worked goal to cut the deficit to five. With trojan work shown by Darragh Reen and Eoghan Carroll to make up for Killorglin’s extra man was one of the highlights of the second half before Sean Quilters pointed free with the outside of his boot from the left sideline which finished off what was a brilliant display of football by all players on The Green’s young team. Full time: Tralee CBS 2-15 ISK 1-11
Man of the match would certainly be The Green’s Sean Quilter who scored 1-09 altogether whether it was frees or from play, he was able to win every ball presented to him.
