Mid Kerry Junior Football League: Shield Final Result
Milltown/Castlemaine ‘B’ took on An Ghaeltacht ‘B’ last Tuesday in the Mid Kerry Junior Football League Shield Final in Lispole. An Ghaeltacht led 2-6 to 0-7 at the half-time interval in a tightly contested opening half.
The West Kerry side dominated large spells of the second half however despite Milltown/Castlemaine bagging an early goal and in the end they emerged victorious on a score of 5-14 to 2-09. Hard luck to the players and management team involved.
Keane’s Supervalu County Minor Football Championship: Group 1, Round 3 Result
Mid Kerry’s Minor side travelled to Spa in Killarney on Tuesday evening for Round 3 of the Keane’s Supervalu County Minor Football Championship.
They took on East Kerry who had won both their fixtures thus far in the competition and there was nothing to separate either side at the half-time interval as they retired to the break level.
In the second half, East Kerry looked destined for victory when leading by eight points at one stage. However, Mid Kerry showed great resilience and battled back to take home a one point victory on a final score of 2-14 to 2-13.
Well done to the team and management especially our own Milltown/Castlemaine representatives. The side collected three points from three games (1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat) but unfortunately failed to make the knockout stages as East Kerry and Austin Stacks both had four points each so took the top two spots in Group One.
