Éire Óg Corrachoill shows their class against Moorefield in Kildare Senior B Championship

UPMC Senior B Hurling Championship 

Éire Óg Corrachoill 7-19

Moorefield 1-8

While is well acknowledged that there is a growing gap between Naas and the rest in the SHC, well the Senior 'B' is facing similar problems if this game is anything to go on as roaring hot favourites Éire Óg Corrachoill emphasised on Saturday as they annihilated a game but limited Moorefield side by no less than 29 points and if you add in a plethora of missed opportunities that gap could have been profoundly more.

The Prosperous/ Caragh side will, no doubt, return to the senior ranks when this competition reaches its inevitable conclusion sooner rather than later (hopefully) but it really begs the question if a more equitable competition can be found as miss-matches such as we had on Saturday is of absolute no use to either the winners or indeed the losers.

The winners had 1-5 on the board, the goal from Kevin Connors, before Moorefield opened with an Aidan O'Brien free and by half-time that lead had reached out to 3-12 to 0-3 with Conor Kielty adding two more goals.

The second half took the same pattern as Moorefield gave it their all but were simply outclassed as the winners added 4-7 to The Moores 1-5.

The winners main scorers being Kevin Connors with a very impressive four goals while Paul Dolan really ran the entire show from midfield hitting no less than 1-11.

Éire Óg Corrachoill ended the game with 14 minutes when Cormac Byrne was rightly given a straight red in the 61 minute, silly or what.
