Kerry Ladies: Unfortunately the Kerry Ladies lost to Dublin yesterday in the All-Ireland final. They have made great strides this year so hopefully they can go a step further next year.
Commiserations to the Na Gaeil players involved namely Mary O’Connell, Eilís O’Connor and Deirdre Kearney along with Laura Fitzgerald who is the team’s goalkeeping coach.
Senior Men: Our lads took on Kenmare Shamrocks yesterday in Fitzgerald Stadium in the first round of the Kerry Petroleum Senior Club Championship.
The teams were evenly matched for the first 20 minutes leaving Kenmare leading by 5 points to 3, our scores coming from a Dara Devine free and 2 long range points from Diarmuid O’Connor.
However, Kenmare saw out the half stronger to lead by 9 points to 5 at halftime. Kenmare extended the gap to 5 points early in the 2nd half, before each team added 2 points to their tally.
Devon Burns converted a 45 to reduce the gap to 4 points but then in the 40th minute Na Gaeil lost Jack Sheehan to a black card.
Despite their numerical disadvantage our lads played some good football and got a point back through Oisin Maunsell. Soon Na Gaeil were level. A long ball in from Diarmuid O’Connor found Jack Bourke and he cooly slotted it past the Kenmare keeper to level the game 0-12 to 1-9 with 15 minutes still remaining.
Kenmare got their noses in front again scoring 2 points before a Kieran O’Donovan point kept us in touch.
A Dara Devine free levelled the game but only briefly as Kenmare finished strongly and added 3 unanswered points in the final few minutes to run out winners on a scoreline of Kenmare 0-19, Na Gaeil 1-13.
Next Saturday our lads will host Spa in Round 2. Throw-in is fixed for 7pm. Please come along and support the team if you can.

U13B Boys: Our lads put in undoubtedly our best performance of the season to lose narrowly to a very good Glenbeigh/Glencar/Cromane team last Tuesday night. We couldn’t have been prouder of all 19 lads who donned the jersey on the night and gave their all.
The home team’s greater fitness in the last 5 mins won them the game out scoring us 1-4 to 1pt. Special mention to our four U11s who came with us on the night and to a man played great. Final score Glenbeigh/Glencar/Cromane 2-18, Na Gaeil 4-6.
