TRÁ LÍ v CIARRAÍ LÁIR: Commiserations to our lads who represented the Tralee District Board team in the District Championship semi-final v Mid-Kerry in Killorglin on Friday last. On a beautiful summer evening in JP O’Sullivan Park our Tralee Under 14 footballers, despite giving of their almighty best, were edged out of championship contention by a margin of 7 points.
Yes, Mid-Kerry did the deed! Our lads enjoyed plenty possession in a brilliant and exciting game but, unfortunately, found scores difficult to come by because of the fantastic defensive display of the opposing full back line.
Following some fantastic free flowing football, the sides were level at half time…2-6 a-piece. After 10 minutes in the second half the scoreboard read 2-9 a-piece with the game in the melting pot…idir dhá cheann na meá! At this point Mid-Kerry found another gear and they kicked 1-6 in the following 12 minutes…without reply…agus b’shin buille maraithe na muice! For the final 8 minutes TDB gave a final push…giving their all…before the game finished 3-16 to 2-12.
‘Well done’ to the Tralee team that had 8 Rockites on the first 15. Toradh:- AdeS: 2-9; Ciarraí Láir: 3-16. Peileadóirí na Carraige ar fhoireann an bhaile: Seán Ó Cearmada, Gearóid Mac Gearailt, Mícheál Ó Slatara, Seosamh Ó Lúbaigh, Gearóid Ó Síocháin, Dean Ó Scannláin, Garry Ó Clúmháin, Séamus Ó Coigligh, Donagh Mac Mathúna, Dylan Ó Cathasaigh. Mórbhuíochas and ‘well done’ to our own Mike Casey who guided the lads throughout the campaign.
