Senior Men
Our lads travelled to Templenoe last Saturday night for Round 3 of the Kerry Petroleum senior club championship. The game was played in near perfect conditions with a slight breeze favouring Na Gaeil in the first half.
Templenoe got the scoring underway with a point from the throw-in but 2 points from Darragh Reen saw us lead 2 points to 1 after 5 minutes.
Templenoe added a point to level the game before Jack Barry made a crucial save off the line to prevent a Templenoe goal. A third point from Darragh Reen following another excellent long ball out of defence by Diarmuid O’Connor saw us ahead once more but Templenoe converted a free to level the game again.
Another pin-point ball out from defence, this time from Jack Barry, found Darragh Reen and he added his fourth point of the half.
After a couple of wides from Templenoe our wing back Morgan Madden was at the end of a slick move and he rifled over an excellent point to extend our lead to 2 points. Both teams added a point apiece before the break, ours a free converted by Dara Devine, to leave the half-time score Templenoe 0-4, Na Gaeil 0-6.
The immense Darragh Reen started the 2nd half in similar fashion to the first half when he fisted over his 5th point of the game to stretch Na Gaeil’s lead to 3 points.
The teams then exchanged points before a super individual point from Jack Sheehan moved us 4 points ahead with 14 minutes gone. Templenoe replied with a point before our outstanding corner-back Jack Doyle kicked a beauty to restore our 4 point lead.
Soon afterwards Templenoe were reduced to 14 players following an off-the-ball incident but they kept in touch with a pointed free. Templenoe were then lucky not to be reduced to 13 following an incident that saw Jack Doyle having to leave the field with a head injury.
A point by Diarmuid O’Connor on the 30 minute mark restored our lead to 4 points again. Templenoe added 2 points in the 33rd and 34th minute and Diarmuid O’Connor slotted over a free in the 36th minute which appeared to be the insurance score.
However a minute later Templenoe added another point leaving Na Gaeil with a dangerous 2 point lead. In the 38th minute Templenoe won a free in around the 45m line. The kick fell short into the hands of their full-forward about 15m out.
He turned and fired a shot through a crowded square and unfortunately for us it bobbled past Devon and into the net. It was a cruel result for our lads who played some great football on the night. Final score Templenoe 1-10, Na Gaeil 0-12.
