Last Tuesday night we met our neighbours from the Rock on probably one of the wettest nights this summer. Austin Stacks gave us home advantage in order to fulfill the round 4, division 2 Co. League fixture on time.
We got off to a great start with a goal in the first few minutes and at half time were leading 4-02 to 1-04.
Stacks opened the second half with a goal so the pressure was on! There was tension on the sidelines from the coaches and parents as they watched a whopper of a game, Each player played her heart out and fought hard like warriors winning the ball again and again. We got the win that we worked hard for with a final goal from Sarah Jane Hoffman.
A great win for our team and a cracking game on the night which was captained by our birthday girl Lia McLysaght. Thanks to everyone who came to support ! Fantastic crowd!

FÉILE 2021
With 2021 being the 50th year of this competition , plans are afoot for Féile to go ahead with a few changes. Féile in the past was an U14 competition but now will be U15 much to the delight of every girl and boy who missed out last year because of Covid -19.
Féile will be organised at county level only . More details to follow and the final of the John West Féile Peil Na nÓg will be on August 28th.
Féile has grown from strength to strength over the years and is a big event on the GAA calendar. It is probably the most prestigious competition at underage and Kerry hosted other clubs back in 2016. Our present 18 and 19 year olds have great memories of this as do our last Féile winners of 2012 who travelled to Portlaoise to represent Kerry.
This is a huge event for all involved so lots of planning to be done over the next few weeks.
Juvenile Notes
Well done to our u5 boys at academy training this morning. Not an ideal one for football but it didn’t stop the lads from having fun with Barry John and his coaching team while learning the basics in skills and fundamental movement. The coaching team encourages everyone to practice at home when possible as this makes a huge difference in development. Training reverts to normal time of 10.00-11.00 in ballyrickard on Sunday.
Although the weather wasn’t great this morning it didn’t deter a huge turnout again from our U7 boys. Well done to everyone. Johno and his coaching team worked on the pick up and the hand pass in this training session so we need the boys to work on this for the week at home. Practicing at home when possible is so important for their skills development.
Go Games will commence for this age group on the week of July 26th away to kilcummin.
We will forward full details as soon as we have them. These games will be a 5 a side and fun based to help with their development. Well done to our players of the week, Morgan O Flaherty and Will Hussey. I have no doubt this is the first of many medals you will both be getting with your club.
Training on next Sunday will revert to normal time of 11.30 – 12.30 in ballyrickard.
Our U9 boys travelled to Firies on Sunday, we had 34 players playing today. This made up four teams and each team played three games. All players showed brilliant skills and team work throughout the games. Thanks to Firies for been great hosts on the day.
Training will continue for our u6 girls on Sunday reverting to our normal time of 10.00-1100 in ballyrickard. Roy and his coaching team continue to work on the basics with the girls. Practice during the week when possible is so important. We hope to have challenge games organised in the coming weeks. Well done to player of the week Georgia Belle O Sullivan. Well deserved and enjoy the week.
Our U8 and U10 girls didn’t have far to travel for their match’s against Na Gaeil. We had 18 U8s playing which made up two teams to play Na Gaeils U8 girls and 14 U10 girls which made up one team to play Na Gaeil U10 girls. All girls in each age group showed huge improvement in all skills and did their club and themselves proud on the day. Thanks to Na Gaeil for hosting a great morning of football. Training for U8 and U10 girls continues Sunday morning at 10am. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
Training will continue for our U11 boys from 19.15 – 20.15 in ballyrickard on Thursday and again on Sunday from 11.30-12.30.
Phase two of county league will commence next week. We will forward full list of fixtures as soon as we have them.
We will continue our policy of playing mixed teams and not labelling children at such a young age. Our club and management feel very strongly on this issue and encourage all our players to have fun and enjoy games. These games are not about winning and are designed for player development regardless of what level a child is at.
Well done to players of the week, Callum Ross and Chris O Mahony. Well deserved and keep it up.
Pre Loved Gear- we are asking parents to bring in any unwanted gear to us that children have grown out of. Jerseys, half zips, shorts, boots etc. We will sell these on at a small cost with all proceeds going to the juvenile club.
We will continue to take payment between 11.00 and 12.00 on Sunday mornings for our summer camp. Payment must be made before camp to ensure your place as there is huge demand and we do not want children not showing after turning others away due to camp being full.
Under 13
On Sunday evening we finished phase 1 of the county league with a home game against Asdee/Bally/Clounmacon/Ballydonoghue. After a very competitive game we came away with a 1 point win. We started the game well with Nick Lacey scoring out first 1-04 with the opposition only managing a single point. Nick was ably assisted in this period by Ryan Onyekwere, Jude Lacey ,Thomas Dylan and Ruairi Kennedy who all were working extremely hard around the middle of the pitch and caused several turnovers. At the first water break we were in control on a score line of 1-07 to 0-03. Our back line was working extremely hard with Connor Donnelly, Ciaran Griffin and Connor Cronin making some vital interceptions. We continued to work very hard for the reminder of the first half and kept the scoreboard ticking over with 1-02 from Jude Lacey and a point from Ryan Onyekwere. We conceded a goal mid-way through this period but still went to the half time break with in a comfortable position of 2-09 to 1-5. Ryan Onyekwere was excellent in the first half as was our goal keeper Ryan Nix who made 2 crucial saves at vital times as well providing several pin point kickouts.
Asdee/Bally/Clounmacon/Ballydonoghue started the 3rd quarter very well and scored 1-03 without reply to reduce the score to 2 points heading into the second half water break. We started the final quarter well with some well taken points from Nick and Jude Lacey, which left us 6 points to the good with time running down. Our opponents then took over with a very well worked goal and 3 points in quick succession to leave the scores level heading towards full time. We worked the ball well on the next restart and were given the opportunity to score a free but quick thinking by Nick Lacey spotted Kevin Horgan unmarked and delivered the ball into Kevin who managed to score a goal with a great finish from a very tight angle. On the restart Asdee/Bally/Clounmacon/Ballydonoghue won possession and raced forward to score a goal which levelled the contest going into injury time.
Ryan Nix managed to find Conor Cronin with the kick-outwho then feed the ball to Ciaran Griffin after an excellent run forward. Ciaran was fouled to give an opportunity for us to take a one point lead deep into injury time. Nick Lacey took on the responsibility and sent the ball straight between the posts to leave us with the smallest of leads. Asdee/Bally/Clounmacon/Ballydonoghue had one final attach but were well marshalled by our backs to leave us with a 1 point win at the final whistle. Best on the day were Nick Lacey, Ryan Onyekwere, Jude Lacey.
Team: Ryan Nix, Connor Donnelly, Dylan Thomas, Ciaran Griffin, Christian Dunne, Connor Cronin, Kevin Horgan, Ruairi Kennedy, Thomas Daly, Cayden Roche, Jude Lacey, Ryan Onyekwere, Sam Keane, Daniel McCarthy, Nick Lacey, George Keane, Conan Sieko, Calum Lacey
