PEIL FAOI 14: (i) Commiserations to our gallant Club Rockies Under 14B team that went down to an extremely strong Dr Crokes outfit on Wednesday 7th in the semi-final of the League. The game was played in perfect conditions in Connolly Park. Our lads opened well and were five points up at the break. However, despite trailing at half time, the Killarney boys put on the pressure in the second half and were ahead at the finish.
After an unbeaten run in the League proper, this was a cruel time for our lads to experience their first defeat. Best for us on the night were David Oba, Craig Ó Tíocháin, Niall Fitzmaurice, David Burke and Andrew Breen. Thanks, lads, for giving us some great games! These brave players will undoubtedly rise again! (ii) On the main pitch our Barry’s Bakery A Squad emerged winners on a scoreline of 11-11 to 1-11 against a sporting and well drilled Legion Killarney side that, despite what the scoreboard might suggest, gave an exhibition of attacking and skillful football from start to finish.
Despite not being able to call on the services of Cian Hill, Conor Myers and Pádhraic Linnane, due to injuries, all our panel played well. Those to shine included David Couchman, Dara Barry-Walsh, James Quigley, Eoghan Carroll, Joe Looby, Seán Quilter, Captain Donagh McMahon, Dylan Ó Cathasaigh, Gearóid Ó Síocháin and Seán Ó Cearmada.
They now find themselves in the County League Division 1 Under 14 County Final against our neighbours, Churchill, who themselves fashioned a fine victory in their semi-final against a fancied Laune Rangers outfit in Killorglin. Final date: Wednesday 14th. Venue: BLENNERVILLE. Result on www.austinstacks.ie.
