GALTEE Gaels proved much too strong for Kildimo Pallaskenry in the third round of the Irish Wire Products Ltd County Senior Football Championship coming away with a 4-11 to 0-11 victory in Pallasgreen this evening. Goals from Bob Childs, Alan Condon and two from Zach McCarthy were the difference between the two sides with Kildimo's Peter Nash doing his best from the free spot to keep his side in the game. The tone of the game was set early on as Galtee's Conor McGrath hand passed a ball in Zach McCarthy's direction in which he punched into the goal to put them 1-0 ahead after two minutes.
Kildimo responded immediately with a point from the left leg of Darren O'Connell followed by Garry Sheehan's effort to get them on the scoreboard. McGarth's goal for Galtee spurred the team on with Gaels easily penetrating Kildimo's defence with quick cutting runs. Points came from Alan Condon and Jack Ryan before brothers Tommie and Bob Childs linked up.
A beautiful pass from older brother Tommie inside to his centre forward Bob was shot straight into the back of the net to leave Gaels 2-3 to 0-4 ahead. Kildimo Pallaskenry's last point of the half came from a Peter Nash free on the 17 minute. They were unlucky not to score a goal of their own as the ball banged off the cross bar but failed to go over the goal line.
Gaels showed no mercy though scoring another goal courtesy of mid-fielder Alan Condon, who also fisted his effort into the back of the net like the two previous. Three more point.
