Garvey’s Super Valu Senior Football Championship Quarter Final Kerins O’Rahillys 1-15 Killarney Legion 4-09
They say goals win matches and this was certainly the case on Saturday evening last when we bowed out of the championship with a James O’Donoghue inspired Legion march on to the semi final.
James O’Donoghue caused havoc in the Kerins O’Rahillys defence and with his goals it gave them the platform to see out the game. We responded well after these goals and only a point separated the teams at the 17th minute but the third goal gave them another fillip before half time and they always threatened in the attack.

Jack Savage had our first point in the second minute. Just before this with 30 seconds gone Gary Kissane brought off a brilliant save to deny O’Donoghue a certain goal. But they hit the net in the 4th minute to put them ahead.
We responded well with another point from Jack Savage who had an excellent game throughout and when Barry John Keane was brought down in the square it was expertly put away by David Moran to put us ahead by 1-02 to Legions 1-01.
Then disaster in the 10th minute with Legions 2nd goal. We replied with points by Barry John Keane, Tommy Walsh, and Jack Savage to leave the score at Kerins O’Rahillys 1-05 to Legions 2-03 at the 17th minute then another goal by Legion to put them ahead.
We fought back with points from David McLoughlin, and 2 Jack Savage points to leave the half time score at Kerins O’Rahillys 1-08 to Legions 3-04. We were only a point adrift in the first quarter of the second half with David Moran and Tommy Walsh dominating the middle and good support play from Con Barrett, Danny O’Sullivan, and Kieran O’Mahony.
Points by Jack Savage from frees and a Kieran O’Mahony point from play left the score at Kerins O’Rahillys 1-11 to Legions 3-07 at the 45th minute and it was anyone’s game, but pressure from Legion resulted in a penalty and O’Donoghue to put away for Legions fourth goal.
Though we battled hard for an equaliser and we had points from Tommy Walsh, John O’Connor and Jack Savage Legion held on for a deserved win.
Next game is Tralee Town Board Championship final. This will be played in Ballymac on Sunday the 18th of October at 3.30 and is against Austin Stacks.
