Minor Team – Unlucky for our boys who played away to Ballymac on last Monday evening. Some good scores from both sides ensured an entertaining game for the crowd.
The initial exchanges were pretty even, and even though we went ahead after a brilliant goal, Ballymac’ finished the half with an 8 point lead. We never gave up with some great high fielding and tackles going in giving us good turnover ball and a platform to attack.
We brought it back to three points and did brilliantly to create some chances towards the end but were unlucky not to score. Hard luck to our mentors and all the boys who showed real spirit and determination this evening.
Congrats to Ballymac on the win this evening on a score line of Ballymac: 1-19 (22) to John Mitchels 2-13 (19). Well done to John Mitchels player Fionán Brosnan who was in action at the weekend v Mayo playing at half back. Kerry won 16 points to 10. Well done to the management and team.

Under 15 Boys – On Wednesday night the U15s play local rivals Na Gaeil in Round 4 of the Central League.The game proved to be a very tight affair that was ultimately decided on two score.
Our lads can be very proud of their contribution to a very entertaining and keenly fought game. While the result didn’t go our way in the end, the disappointment of loosing was far outweighed but the joy of having Calvin O’Sullivan make his return to competitive footballwith John Mitchels!!
Calvin has been in all our thoughts as he fought his way back from a serious injury and everyone associated with the club got a great boost seeing him come on in the second half of Wednesday nights game (For the record he kicked 1-3. No small feat in his first game back!!).
