Minors Na Gaeil played John Mitchels in the Minor Central League Final in Strand road on Monday evening August 9th. Na Gaeil struck first with a Kian Sheehan goal and some valuable points were added by Sean O’Connor and Sean Barrett. Mitchels struck back to lead 1-04 to 3-02 at half time.
The second half was turned around with five unanswered points scored by Sean O’Connor. Added to this a great Kian Sheehan goal ensured a great win. Captain Cian O’Neill accepted the trophy after a well deserved win for the Killeen side. Final score: Na Gaeil: 2-09; John Mitchels: 3-03. Well done to coach, Mark O’Connor and his team and thanks to all our great supporters that turned up on the night to cheer on the team on what was a special evening for the club.

Semi Final Finally we have clarity on the All Ireland semi final clash between Kerry and Tyrone. The game now takes place on Saturday August 28th in Croke Park.

It will however push out further the commencement of the club championship in Kerry.
