PEIL FAOI 14: (i) The Tralee Town Board Suit Select Under 14 League (Division 1) Final between AdeS and K-O’R was re-fixed for Thursday 24th at 7pm in Na Gaeil Club field. (ii) In the semi-final of the County League (Division 1) our A boys came up a little short v Gleann Fleisce in Barra Dubh. Scór: AdeS A: 2-12;Gleann Fleisce: 5-18. They had already pipped us by 0-1 in an earlier round of the competition but we were hopeful of getting the upper hand this time!! Níorbh é ár lá é!! Thanks to all our boys for the great effort! Thanks to all who provided lifts! (iii) Our B boys took on the a very strong Dr Croke Club Bs in the County League (Division 9) semi-final on Wednesday (16th). Disappointingly, Dr Crokes were unable to play this game any other evening except on the 16th. After a poor first half display, which saw us 0-17 adrift, we put in possibly our best second half performance of the year and showed the large crowd in attendance just why we deserved to be in a County League semi-final. However, we were unlucky to come out on the wrong side of a 4-4 to 4-8 scoreline. Great heart and effort shown again and great credit due to all!
PEIL FAOI 16: (i) Traenáil mar is gnách Dé hAoine agus Dé Domhnaigh. (ii) We had a resounding win over Laune Rangers in the Central League semi-final on Monday week last and this victory set us up for a final v Castlegregory on Monday last. Up The Rock! (iii) Best wishes to Armin Heinrich as he recuperates from an unfortunate injury. Tá súil againn go mbeidh sé ar fónamh agus ar muin na muice sara fada.
FAOI 17: Our best wishes to Seán Quilter and his Kerry collegues in their Munster Final preparations. Táimid go léir ag súil go mór le Craobhchluiche Peile na Mumhan v An Clár i Mí an Mheithimh.
NA MIONÚIR: ‘Comhbhrón mór’ to our most unlucky minors in their Division 1 League Final v Raonaithe na Leamhna ar an Satharn seo caite (19ú).
