Seniors:
St. Pat’s defeated Na Gaeil 2-13 to 0-7 in The St. Brendan’s League on Sunday last
Minors:
St Pats Blennerville 2-9 John Mitchels 1-12
We picked up our first point in the Tralee Town Board League on Saturday last when we drew with John Mitchels in a very entertaining Round 3 game at Blennerville.
We trailed by two points [1-4 to 1-6] at the interval, with our goal coming from Josh Laucher.
Another score by us to catch the eye in the first half, was a brilliant point by Brandon Boyle when he kicked a 45m free from way out on the wing.
Josh doubled his goal tally, eight minutes from full time, at the end of a passing movement which began with double point blank saves by Aidan O`Halloran and Brian Murphy in turn, at the other end of the pitch.
This goal put us one point in front, a lead which we kept until the dying seconds, when the visitors equalised from a free to level the match.
As in the previous two games, we put in a strong all round team performance but special mention must go to the likes of Aidan who had a solid game in goal, ably assisted by Brian, Killian, and Sean in defence.
Further up the field, Kieran, Brandon,Tommy, Josh and substitute Eoin also excelled.
Team:
Aidan O`Halloran, Brian Murphy, Anthony Craig, Micheal Murphy, Shane O`Donoghue, Sean Dowling 0-1, Killian O`Riordan, Kieran Dwyer 0-1,Jack Quilter[C], Cian Ronan, Brandon Boyle 0-2, Tommy Lynch, Jack Lynch, Josh Laucher 2-3 and Gearoid Dillane.
Sub: Eoin Greaney 0-1.

This game has been put back by a week and will now go ahead on Saturday February 28th at 4 PM in Ballybunion against Beale.
