SENIOR TEAM – Division 1:
Round 7: Home to Legion (2nd July)
We played Killarney Legions at home in Ballyseedy last Saturday evening. Legions opened with three points and Mitchels dominated the remainder of the first half leaving the score John Mitchels 2-05, Legions 0-05. With Mitchels scores from Alan O’Donghue (1-01), Wayne Duggan (0-01), Niall Sheehy (1-02), Shane O’Connor (0-01).
Legion opened the scoring of the 2nd half with a point within the 1st minute of play. Mitchels were awarded a penalty in the 8th minute which was converted by Wayne Duggan which now gave Mitchels a comfortable lead of 8 points.
Unfortunately it was Legion that dominated the remainder of the second half leaving the final score John Mitchels 3-05, Legions 0-17.

SENIOR LADIES:
We were at home to a very strong Southern Gaels side on Friday last. With a large portion of our more senior ladies away at present it gave a chance to the younger members of the squad to shine, and they did not disappoint.
