Juveniles
U6/8/10 Our U6s trained as usual in Healy Park last Saturday. With large numbers and new players every week this age group is definitely one full of stars of the future.
Our U8s went to Connolly Park on Thursday last to take part in the “Go Games Blitz”. There were two teams and both one played 3 games while the other played 4. Both teams put in great performances and all the training and practice is paying off. Well done to all involved. There was a mass exodus from Healy Park on Saturday last when two buses left for An Gaeltacht carrying our U8 and 10 boys and girls for some challenge games. There were great numbers travelled and everyone played games and got to showcase their skills. The one thing to stand out on the day was the hospitality shown by An Gaeltacht. Everyone was given beautiful refreshments so many thanks to them for their kindness. We look forward to their visit in the not too distant future.
Training for all ages is as normal at 11am in Healy Park on Saturday.
Senior Football
Garveys Supervalu Co. Championship Round 1
Kerins O’Rahillys 1-7
South Kerry 1-14
We played South Kerry in the first round of the Garveys Supervalu Championship last Sunday afternoon and were well beaten by a very determined South Kerry outfit played at the Con Keating Park Caherciveen.
There was a constant downpour throughout the game making conditions difficult for both sides. But it was South Kerry who adapted better to the conditions and gave an exhibition of football in the first half, where every shot went over the bar and they dominated all of the exchanges.
They fired over two rapid points after 8 minutes and when they followed with a well worked goal we were under severe pressure. Though the team battled hard it was a day where nothing went wrong for South Kerry and between breaks and solid play they fired over point after point and led at half time by 1-8 to Strand Roads 0-3 our three points coming from Barry John Keane and 2 Declan Quill frees.
Garry Kissane made a great save in this half deflecting a certain goal for a 45. The second half was again all South Kerry where they extended their lead and it was only in the last 10 minutes that we got into the game with a goal by Barry John Keane with good play from Ronan Quill, David Moran and Ross O Callaghan. But too little too late and we now wait for the losers round next weekend.
