*Dan Keating accepts his player of the week prize from Martin Daly of Martin Daly Autos.
LORDING matters in the middle of the field, Dan Keating played a central role in Kilmihil’s shock win over Ennistymon and his reward is to be named Martin Daly Autos/The Clare Echo player of the week.
Keating excelled in producing arguably his greatest ever display for Kilmihil, winning the aerial battle to serve as a platform which Michael Doran’s men had targeted before a ball was kicked in the second round.
He was ably assisted by Seán Crowley hoovering up on breaks and Ciaran Downes kicking a very impressive tally of 0-12 but the midfielder was the man responsible for securing primary possession which made it all happen for Kilmihil.
Dan also managed to kick two points to assist Kilmihil on their way to winning 0-16 0-13 and blowing Group 2 wide open. They face neighbours Doonbeg this Sunday in Cooraclare where a win would see them qualify for the knockout stages.
