Our U12A were at the wrong side of a 3 – 1 scoreline in Christy Leahy Park, Having dominated the first half but were unable to find a way past a very solid Athletic back line. Two quick goals were conceded just after half time made it an uphill task.

We did manage to get it back to 2-1 with Bruno Browzy putting the ball in Athletic’s net and almost levelled the game when Seamus Kelly had his shot saved all by the feet of the Athletic keeper. Soon after that Athletic forced a corner and an own goal finished the game as a contest. Best for us were  Immanuel Manu Ciarian Kavanagh with MOTM going to Eldon Topalli

Our U12A ,played out a goalless draw with Iveragh United in Christy Leahy Park, Having a number of chances but were unable to find a way past a very resolute Iveragh back line and the few times we managed to get beyond their defensive line the Iveragh goalkeeper was in fine form. The best and biggest save came right at the death when Jack Slattery cut in off the left wing and hit a ferocious strike which was heading towards the top corner only for the keeper to get finger tips on it to turn the ball around his near post. Best on the day we’re

Finn O’Neill, Jack Slattery, Aaron Powell and MOTM going to Immanuel Manu.

Under 11 (2007)
Our under 11c’s travelled to killarney Celtic on Saturday afternoon and braved the bitterly cold temperatures. The two teams were producing some fine attacking play from the off. Several chances were created by both sides with park goalkeeper Mark O’Connor proving to be a great shot stopper. Most of the game then was played in the middle third of the pitch with both midfields battling very hard which was the story of the game. Special mention to man of the match Brendan maunsell with a solid display at right back. Big thanks to killarney Celtic players and coaches for an entertaining game of soccer.

Under 11(2007)

Well done to both sets of teams for braving the elements in today’s Park U11 vs Fenit Samphires games. Both games were very competitive with the standard of football on display of a very high standard. Thanks to Fenit for agreeing to play the fixture on our astro turf. Winner of the best snowball throwing competition was Adam Prendergast !! See you all at training next Tuesday night.

Our u11 b squad welcomed tralee dynamos to Christy Leahy park on Saturday afternoonand it was a game that produced many chances for both teams. The first half  was a scrappy affair with both teams taking time to settle. Dynamos came out second half with intent and put the park defence under pressure numerous times. The park boys then started to apply some pressure of there own midway through the second half and created some fine goalscoring chances. Special mention for man of the match oisin Breen who was the park’s main attacking threat throughout the second half and who worked tirelessly from start to finish. Thanks to dynamos players and coaches for an entertaining game.

Under thirteen (2004)
Our under 13s bowed out of the sketchers SFAI cup on Saturday last with a score line of three goals to two against a dogged Mallow United. Having been two nil up inside 20mins with goals from cian O’Gara and Callum O’Sullivan.

Under sixteen (2002)
Our 16A squad travelled to the Dragons Den in Killorglin for an early Saturday morningkickoff with a few absentees due to illness , injuries & school trips.
Nevertheless we created all the chances in the first half but only converting one from TJ McMahon.

The Killorglin keeper was in fine form denying first TJ then a fine double save stopping Nathan Holden’s shot from point blank range. So after dominating the first half we only had a goal to show for all our good play.

Within five minutes of the restart John Carmody had struck a left legged rocket inside the post to double our lead.
Following more good play, Darragh Moriarty took the ball down controlled it & hit an unstoppable shot into the far top corner for what will surely be a goal of the season contender. Game over with thirty minutes to play or so we thought !!

Another top quality save again from a Darragh Moriarty goal bound shot seem to bring the Killorglin boys to life & they threw everything at us for the remainder of the game.
A defensive mix up led to their goal & when we conceded a penalty for a hand ball shortly after it looked like another Ballyhar was on the cards.

Up stepped Stephen Nix, our new keeper, from that famous Tralee sporting family to dive to his right & palm away the peno to ease the nerves. Despite a few missed chances at the other end & a couple more scares we saw out the final minutes for a much needed win.
Full time 3 – 1
Best for Park, Darragh Moriarty, Colin Walsh, John Carmody & MotM Andrew Murphy.

U16B:
Our 16B squad also down to the bare bones due to injury & sickness hosted Killarney Celtic B on that fantastic all weather pitch in Mounthawk Park.
We welcomed DJ Griffin back from a long injury & what an important part he played in the win making saves at vital times in the game.

The away game had seen Celtic win 4 nil at home in a comfortable victory so we knew that all the lads would have to battle for every ball to get something from the game. What we didn’t know was this was to be an absolute thriller of a battle from start to finish. Celtic took the lead early & the signs looked ominous again.

We were creating all the chances but some terrible finishing was keeping it scoreless before Michael Lally burst through the Killarney defense & hit an unstoppable shot which hit the underside of the bar bounced inside the line & came back out in a copy of the famous World Cup final goal in 1966. Luckily for us the eagle eyed Kevin saw it cross the line & awarded the goal.

After that we dominated the remainder of the half until a minute before halftime Michael Lally had struck a goal bound shot which crashed off the butt of the post & in the ensuing battle to win the rebound Michael received a straight red card.
So after all our fine play in the first forty minutes we would be down to ten men for the second forty.

At halftime we also had to withdraw Sean Sookarry who had become unwell during the first half leaving us two subs, one of whom was  carrying an injury, backs to the wall stuff !
HT 1 – 1

The second half will be remembered by the management for the battling qualities & never say die attitude show by all on the pitch as boys became men to create chance after chance with Liam Magee’s dribble from Centre back to shooting just over inside the Celtic box being a stand out moment.

Jordan Mason was a class act in midfield spraying passes all over the pitch & his midfield partner Kieran O Leary ran himself to a standstill. Liam & Peter Dineen played outstanding together at the back while Connor Kavanagh & Eoin McDonnell played probably their best game to date.

Even though a man down Luke Dennehy & Simon Moynihan covered both wings up & down without stopping for breath, launching attack after attack.

Ryan O Sullivan’s injury eventually got the better of him & Mark Roche worked tirelessly to provide an out ball when under pressure.
With two minutes of time remaining &  Celtic pressing high looking for a winning goal Kieran O Leary went on one final lung bursting run through the Celtic midfield & found himself on the edge of the box & with a premiership finish lifted the ball over the keeper & into the top corner to give our lads a much deserved three points.
FT 2 – 1
MotM Liam Magee & Jordan Mason.

Seniors
Our senior team had A company hence the five nil win over castle Man United goals coming from Mikey Burke getting himself a hat trick, Adam Ward and then own goal sealed an emphatic Win.

Well done to both Park U11 and LB Rovers teams for playing some excellent football in their two games in Ballybunnion last Saturday.

It was great for both teams to overcome early difficulties playing on grass  to produce two very even and exciting games of football.

Thanks to our hosts for providing their pitch for the fixture. Well done to captains on the day Sam Slattery and Martin McGivern who both did the club proud. Congratulations to Man of the match Eugene in the A fixture and joint m.o.t.m. Oliver Lata and Eoin Flaherty in the B fixture.

Perfect conditions on a Saturday afternoonat Christy Leahy park for a game of soccer were out under 11b squad took on listowel celtic. The tone was set from the off with the park boys producing some great attacking play which continued throughout the game. The defence when called upon was rock solid and composed.

A very special mention to liam O’Connell who made the man of the match decision an easy one with an outstanding goalscoring performance from centre midfield. Big thanks to listowel for travelling in for the game and who performed very well considering they were short on subs and who’s keeper was oustanding.

U16 National Cup V Charleville

Our U16’s bowed out of the National Cup at the last 32 stage after a very poor second half performance saw the visitors score five unanswered goals at home on Saturday.
Having taken the lead after two minutes from our first corner of the game with a brave header from Terence Carmody, we dominated large part of the first half. Unfortunately we failed to use the strong breeze in our favour but were also unlucky on at least two occasions as John Carmody rattled the crossbar with the keeper stranded inside the first five minutes & later in the half when John’s goal bound shot ran along the face of goal.

Charleville also had chances in the half with Gavin Doody making a double save just before halftime but the visitors equalized just after when Gavin looked to have been fouled going for the ball from a corner.
HT 1 – 1

The second half was one way traffic for the most part & once Charleville went in front early from the restart they upped their game.

Two goals in four minutes finished the game as a contest & they saw out the game for a deserved victory on a final score line of 6 – 1 with the visitors centeforward scoring an absolute beauty into the top corner.

Credit to Colin Walsh, Andrew Murphy, Cian Purcell & our MOTM John Carmody who never stopped playing.

Also while we’re disappointed to be out of the competition, we had a great run &  it will benefit our lads in the long term as the standard is so high at this stage & our boys can see the level they need to reach.

Thanks to all the parents for providing food for the Charleville lads & also to the visitors for being so sporting in victory. We wish them well in the last sixteen.

We now await the winner of Killarney Celtic & Charleville to see who we will play in the Regional semis.

Youth Team (2001)

Munster Youth CupQuarter Final
Park FC 1 v 0 Ballingarry

Park deserved their narrow victory as they had the lions share of position and created the some good chances over the ninety minutes. Parks midfield three were on top thru out the game forcing Ballingarry into trying long range efforts that really never really tested Parks custodian Conor Hayes.Parks Jordan Barry and Aaron Ward forced Ballingarry keeper into acton but it was striker Conor O’Brien whom taught he had giving the Park the lead on thirty three minutes only to see his strike hit the underneath of the crossbar and shoot down hit the goal line and Ballingarry keeper cleared his line.
Second half Park were totally dominant with Adam Ward and JR Tshikato controlling midfield ,Parks Aaron Ward broke down the right wing beating two players and he picked out Conor O’Brien and his flick on fell to the incoming Adam Ward and he rifled the Park into the lead on the hour. Ballingarry tried hard to get back into the tie but Parks defense were resolute.Park will have to travel for semi final
Best for Park;JR Tshikato – Aaron Ward – Shane Jordan – James Sheehan
Man of Match;Adam Ward

Well done to both park U11 teams who played two great games against Camp earlier today. Great sportsmanship and skill was on display by both teams. The teams were captained by Ciaran O Connell and Richard Casey.

Congratulations to the Player’s MOTM Ryan Driscoll & Daniel Sheehy. Managers MOTM: Jamie McCarthy & Lee Wharton. Special thanks to Camp for travelling in to us to ensure the fixture wasn’t effected by the bad weather.

Under Twelve (2006)
On Saturday our u12A headed to Killarney to face Killarney Celtic. The game was less then two minutes old when a clearance was sliced in to our net to put us a goal behind.

Having been rattled by own goal we conceded again within two minutes following a bit of indecision in our back line.

At two nil after 4 mins into the game it’s a tough ask for any team to find their way back in to the game but the lads slowly found their feet and began to play some excellent football and had a couple of chances but the Celtic keeper stood firm. In the 20th minute, we were caught on the counter attack to make it three – nil, when it looked as if we were going to get a goal ourselves.

To be fair to the boys they dusted themselves down and went right back at it and got a goal though Justin O’Sullivan after great work from Andrew Kerins down the right. It was a much deserved after some great build up play. Three goals to one at half time and we believed that we were truly going to come back into the game.

Within a minute of the restart Celtic got a corner, a great delivery into the box, goalkeeper Oshìn got a good hand on to the cross but it fell kindly to the Celtic forward to tap home. Again the lads had it all to do at four goals to one but they showed some real character to keep going which is not easy when your losing by three goals.

We were had Celtic pinned back in their own half and we pulled a goal back when Jack Slattery’s shot was parried into the path of Justin who made no mistake with his emphatic finish.

Out lads grew in confidence with that goal and at for goals to two we were in control of the game. We got a corner which Jack Slattery put in and it show how made it’s way through a host of bodies and Ryan McMahon made no mistake when a cool finish.

The lads now were only a goal behind at four – three. We threw caution to the wind and pushed hard for the equaliser but to no avail. Celtic put the game to bed with two late goals to leave the final score at  six -three.

All Credit to the team for a great performance regardless of the score line.

Best on the day were Jack Slattery, Andrew Kerins and Seamus Kelly with Man of the match going to Justin O’Sullivan.

Under Fourteen (2004) 
Our U14A go to Killarney to play Killarney Celtic kickoff in the league. The two Pats will be hopeful that they can keep their recent good form going after a couple of comprehensive wins in their last games.

Youth Team (2001)

Our youth team had a massive win this weekend when the faced Kilfrush Crusaders in the Munster Youth Cup. The final score in that game was two- one. Goals form Shane Jordan and David Oba were enough to put us in the last eight of the competition. Well done to Tadgh Healy and his squad on that Result. With that being said this group will have no time to rest as they head for
Castleisland in the Denny Youth League on Saturday next.

Despite trailing two-one as the game headed into the final stages David O’Callaghan stole a yard on the home defence to equalise. With Celtic looking like they would be happy with the draw at this stage, Cian Brosnan found the back of the net for the winner and get his second of the game. A great comeback by those young men. And victory means that the keep the pressure on at the top of the table!

Our under fifteen B team had a very good victory threw one victory over Windmill United. Goals from Adam Wharton and Mark Curtin getting two to keep up their fine form of late.

Youths (2000)

Our youth team played Killarney Celtic in the Munster Youth Cup Kerry Area Final in Mounthawk Park.

All pundits felt this final would be a tight encounter as both sides met a couple of weeks back in the FAI youth cup with the Tralee side claiming a narrow win out in Celtic Park.

Park ran out deserved winners in Mounthawk Park putting in a solid team performance with James Sheehan and Adam Ward controlling midfield , Parks Aaron Ward whipped in a great ball from the left wing that found the incoming Jordan Barry and his header rifled into top corner of the net with twenty three minutes gone.

Within ten minutes Conor O’Brien doubled Parks lead winning the ball from a loose clearance and he coolly lobbed the advancing Celtic keeper and five minutes later Conor again tried to lob the keeper only to see his effort drift wide of the post ,at the break Park with a two goal lead.

Celtic started the second half brightly and with only three minutes gone pounced on defensive mistake from Park to score at the near post and now game on.

Park management reacted by withdrawing their right back and bringing in attacking midfielder John Carmody and this change saw Park take total control of the game.
Park claimed back their two goal advantage on the hour with good work down the right from JR Tshikato and Conor O’Brien picking out Jordan Barry to score his second from close range and it was John Carmody scoring the fourth and insuring the win for the Park.Jordan Barry had some excellent chances to score his hat-trick but was not clinical enough.

Best for Park;James Sheehan;Adam Ward;Leon Shalemba;Shane Jordan;John Carmody

Squad
Conor Hayes-Shane Jordan-Leon Shalemba-Andrew Breen-Ben Falvey-JR Tshikato-Adam Ward-Aaron Ward-Conor O’Brien-Jordan Barry-James Sheehan-Kevin Brown

Academy(2009)
St Brendan’s Park FC u9s had a hectic schedule on Saturday as we traveled to Fenit to play against Fenit Samphires. Due to our squad size we took 20 players and left as many again at home as they prepare to face Camp Juniors next Saturday.

The 2 teams that went to Fenit played  2 matches against the hosts. We played the 7v7 format which worked very well. Both clubs enjoyed the afternoon. The players displayed great skill and determination in the 4 matches played on a cold December afternoon. The attitude from all players was exceptional and the players are a credit to themselves and their clubs. Many thanks to Fenit for inviting us out to play.

Meanwhile earlier on the same day the remainder of our u9 squad enjoyed a fantastic training session at Christy Leahy Park working on the 7v7 format. The players practiced well and will be in great shape for their trip to Camp next week. More matches will follow after Christmas and we all look forward to seeing this group of players continuing their hard work into 2018 and beyond.

Under Eleven(2007)

Two challenge games were played against Camp last Saturday. Special mention goes to Eugene Nguessan and Max Nosidlak on man of the match performances in centre mid and right back respectively. Also well done to Richard Casey on a very stready debut in goals. Thanks to the Camp players and mentors for providing us with two evenly matched games. The skills and sportsmanship on display by both sets of players was fantastic

Under Twelve(2006)
Our U12 A and B teams are both in action this weekend with our A team heading to Limerick to face Rathkeale AFC in the fourth round of the Skechers SFAI Cup. It should be a fiercely contested game with both teams hoping to head into the open draw in the last thirty two of the competition. Our B team host Ballyhar U12B in Christy Leahy Park and will hope to continue their good form coming off the back of some good results of late. All support is greatly appreciated.

Under Thirteen (2005)

St Brendans Park FC 2 – 0 Shelbourne AFC

The Park under 13 squad progressed to the last 32 in the National Cup after extra time against Shelobourne AFC of Limerick, the visit of Shelbourne provided a step up in class from the previous rounds and required the full squad to deliver a quality performance on the day.
The first half saw us dominate proceedings which stemmed from a very strong defensive performance by Sean McElligott, Ray McGrath and Obina Izehi.

This provided Michael Tansley with a platform to run the match from midfield with a fine display of passing both short and long as well as switching  the point of attack that caused the opposition huge problems.

The selfless running of both fullbacks Luke Casey and  Adam McDonagh meant that there was plenty of supply of ball to our two strikers Darragh Cunnane and Venis Jahiri as well as for the late runs into the box of Odhran Ferris and captain Callum O`Sullivan. Richard Healy’s performance in goals was assured which provided great confidence for the outfield players to go and preform. A comment after the match from the Shelbourne management team of ” there must have been a magnet in them goals” summed up the first half but unfortunately we just did not capitalize on this dominance.

The second half followed the same pattern as the first with us having the lions share of the position. The second half also saw  Shelbourne up their game and this provided a few chances for them which was dealt with by our keeper and defensive unit in a very professional manner.

The second half saw the introduction of Cian O`Gara for Michael Tansley, Cian’s introduction was to cause different problems for Shelbourne with his direct running and hard tackling. Jamie O`Shea was introduced for Callum O’Sullivan. Callum at this point had as they say “emptied the tank” for the cause. Jamies work rate provide a lift to the team at this point in the game.

With the clock ticking down Noah Townsend was brought in for Darragh Cunnane. Noah`s direct running at the opposition looked as if we could get a result in normal time but Shelbourne stood firm and seemed happy to see the game to extra time.

Extra time saw us break the dead lock, the runs been made in-behind the Shelbourne defense paid off as Noah Townsend’s pace saw him break free from the defensive attention he was getting from Shelbourne but as he bore down on their goal a late tackle from behind stopped him in his tracks on the edge of the box. The resulting free struck by Odhran Ferris gave the team a lead they fully deserved just before half time in extra time.

During the half time break some of the players talked of been in a similar situation last year and they collectively drew on this experience and resolved to see it out this time to the end, this shows a great maturity in lads so young.

Their resolve not alone saw them see the game out to the end but also seen Noah Townsend get our second goal of the game. This goal was well deserved for the team as they had worked tirelessly all day for each other.

Thanks to Shelbourne for been part of a very entertaining game for the supporters and we wish them well in their remaining league games.

To the team behind the team a big thank you for looking after our visitors, with sandwiches, teas, coffees and hot chocolates.

Squad on the day.
Richard Healy, Luke Casey, Darragh Cunnane, Odhran Ferris, Obina Izehi , Venis Jahiri, Adam McDonagh, Sean McElligott, Ray McGrath, Cian O’Gara, Jamie O’Shea, Callum O’Sullivan, Michael Tansley and Noah Townsend.

Man Of The Match; Sean McElligott

Our thirteen B team traveled to MEK in the league on Saturday. Having gone one nil up through Conor Cronin, MEK fought back to equalise.

At one each we had a great opportunity to take the lead when we were awarded a penalty but the joy was short lived as we missed the penalty.  Conor soon doubled his own goal tally and to put us back in the driving seat with a well timed finish. With time running out MEK equalised again and the game finished a two all draw.

Our under fourteen host Killarney Celtic in the Skechers SFAI Cup in Christy Leahy Park this Saturday in what should be a cracking game of football. All support is welcome, kick off is at twelve o’clock, extra time and penalties if necessary.

Under Fifteen (2003)
Our U15A travelled to Ennis Co. Clare to face Tulla United in the Skechers SFAI Cup on Sunday and were narrowly beaten on penalties. The game finished level at full time with our lads shading the game but were unable to break down the hosts.

Deep in the second half extra time Tulla took the lead from a corner but the lads showed great character to equalise through Cian Brosnan to bring the  game to penalties. We end up losing 4-3 on penalties. Great team performance all round and very unlucky to not to be going into the open draw. Hard luck boys you did the club proud.

Under Sixteen (2002)

Denny U17 LeagueBallyhar 1 v 4 Park FC
This was a very open and entertaining encounter with Park having the lions share of possession and Ballyhar working hard on counter attacks.

Parks David Oba was involved and provided the assist with three of the goals.Park went in at the break with a narrow lead two goals to one courtesy of Seb Vasiu and Colin Walsh.
The second half was a one sided affair with Parks Leon Shalemba scoring goal of the match with a thirty yards screamer and Jordan Barry finishing the scoring.
Best for Park;Nathan Holden – Jordan Barry – James Sheehan – Colin Walsh

Park u14 2 – 2 Killarney Athletic

This was a game where the  Park lads played some great football, put some fabulous moves together, created lots of chances but finished the game with what was a frustrating draw.

Winter was definitely in the air when the game kicked off with the Park playing with the wind. It didn’t take long for the first chance of the game coming in the 2nd minute with Sean O’Connor striking a decent effort  over the crossbar. This was the first of many shots from a lot of different players that ended up going over the bar.

On 6 minutes Sean O’Connell had an effort saved. Only 2 minutes later the first goal of the game was scored when Colin Doody won a ball of the right, played a pass to David Feely who played an excellent through ball to Cianan Cooney who’s low cross was finished from close range by Cillian Murphy. 1-0 to the Park.

It wasn’t all one way traffic though and a long ball caught out the Park defence but Liam Carmody came off his line well to clear. The Park though were still creating some excellent chances. In the 22nd minute another fine pass by David led to an excellent strike by Cianan to make it 2-0 to Park. At this stage the game was there to be finished off but a mixture of crossbar, blocks and a lack of clinical finishing meant that the game went into HT 2-0.

Killarney Athletic had contributed to an exciting game in the first half and they made the game very interesting when in the 2nd minute of the second half a shot from distance put our defence in trouble and Athletic made it 2-1. The game was now in the balance and frantic at times. Sean O’Connor had a good effort off the crossbar which would have settled things again but in the 20th minute we conceded a soft free which was well finished to make it 2-2 and a game in which we should have been well ahead had now become one that we could lose. To be fair, the Park lads reacted really well in the last 10 mins, created some excellent chances, hit the crossbar again and had two gilt edged opportunities at the death but the ball just wasn’t going in.

So it finished 2-2 in a very enjoyable, exciting and frustrating match.

Fai Youth Cuo 2nd RoundKillarney Celtic 1 v 2 Park FC
This cup encounter was Parks toughest test of the season so far with both sides leaving it all on the pitch that saw Park advance to the third round with another away fixture v Listowel Celtic.

Park management need and must solve their slow starts to games and conceding early goals as they found themselves trailing after only eight minutes .The game was played at a high intensity with Park more creative but guilty of not punishing Celtic with Jordan Barry ,Conor O’Brien and Aaron Ward failing to convert some golden chances.

It was Parks captain Adam Ward in the thirty fifth minute that burst into the Celtic area and was tripped ,ref pointed to the penalty spot and it was Adam that converted the spot kick sending the Killarney keeper the wrong way , all level at the break.

Killarney started the opening ten minutes of the second half strongly pushing the Park back and winning four corners in a row but Parks defense stood strong and when you have Conor Hayes the best youth keeper in the county between the posts putting in a man of the match performance this instills confidence in his team.

Parks midfield duo Adam Ward and James Sheehan started to get a hold on midfield and Park took the lead in seventy fifth minute when David Oba down the right side of midfield found Parks striker Conor O’Brien with a defense splitting pass clinically finishing thru the legs of the advancing keeper.

The final ten minutes saw Park defend stalwartly from a Celtic side pressing for an equalizer and again it was Parks custodian Conor Hayes making a top class save at full stretch tipping the ball around the post for a corner in added time to see Park thru to the third round.

Under 11(2007)
Our u11s all faced Dynamos at home the weekend. There was some great performances on Saturday and some fantastic football played.

Under 12 (2006)
Our under twelve Teams have a fixture this weekend or under 12 is will play at home to Tralee Dynamos Kdl a while our under 12 B team will play Mastergeeha B team also at home.

Under 13(2005)
Two massive wins the weekend gone for  both our under 13 teams with the A team playing in in the national cup beating Ennis Town by 3-0 and our under 13 B team also played at home when they played Killarney Athletic B.
U13B Match report below.

What a beautiful morning for a game, no wind or rain, nice and bright and calm. Park under 13 B kicked off at 10.10 against Killarney Athletic and commanded things right from the start with lots of attacking football and striker Dylan Hobbart finding the back of the net after only 2 minutes. It was a sign of things to come as Park were playing in the Killarney half most of the time. At the 10 minute mark after lovely link up play Jack Slattery put Park 2 up. The onslaught continued and 5 minutes later Cillian made it 3. Two minutes later Dylan scored his second. Shortly after that Rodrigo Pinho the smallest player on the pitch scored a fantastic flying header, the goal of the game and the season so far. What Dylan was able to do Jack could do as well and scored his second after 25 minutes. It was time for a break and Park came in at half time 6-0 up.

Much of the play was in the Killarney half of the pitch leaving little for keeper Conor Foley to do but when called upon he was excellent coming for the ball when he should have and staying on his line  at the right times.

Things were a little slower in the second half and a new attitude by Killarney saw them have some of the play and a mix up with Parks keeper and full back saw them snatch a goal back. Having conceded a goal Dylan decided it was time for his hat trick and with a good solo run from the half way line got it. That turned out to be the last of the scoring in the game. It was a pleasure to watch the team work, the one twos and the cohesive movement.

Well done to everyone, another 3 points in the bag.

Under Eleven(2007)

All three of our under eleven teams are playing neighbours and old rivals Tralee Dynamos at three o clock in Christy Leahy Park. It should be a great spectale all support is welcome.

Under Twelve (2006)

With our under twelve A team having no game this weekend it was up to our B team to represent the 2006 age group with a home fixture to camp Juniors. here is the match report;

Park FC (Under 12 B) 1 – Camp 3

On a rain-soaked pitch, Park welcome league leaders Camp to their home turf.  After a rousing pre-match speech from Manager Paul, Park took to the pitch with a defensive line-up, with Park aware that Camp had blasted seven goals past one of their leading challengers, earlier in the campaign.

Park’s mighty midfield quartet of Finn, Eldion, Odhran and Sean Heaslip, battled hard, with Finn racing through one-on-one only for Camp FC’s man-of-the-match Carl Mitchells, to make one of several outstanding saves.

Camp dominated the early exchanges with Zach, Cillian and Rory on their toes constantly to keep them out and they deservedly took the lead with a low strike from close range to lead 1-0 at the break which squeezed past Mateusz in goal. Lone striker Adam, and William, when he replaced him, ploughed a lonely furrow, chasing down ball after ball.

Park had the advantage of the wind in the second half and brought on Sean Solomon, Trey, Marc, Rex and Sean Whelan as both teams came close in an end-to-end battle.

Sean Heaslip had taken over between the sticks, but the turning point in the game came when Cillian put his hands up to protect his face from a fierce shot and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Camp duly tucked away their second goal of the tie.

Moments later as Park pressed for a goal to get back into the game, with the rampaging Jacob, making his debut for Park, tearing up and down the wing, Camp broke the off-side trap and slotted home a third.

With seconds to go the referee again pointed to the spot. Jacob had been hauled down following a long through ball from Zach.

The exceptional Carl Mitchells got one hand to the ball, but the power of Jacob’s spot kick made sure it nevertheless rattled into the back of the net. It finished 3-1 to Camp. A thorougly entertaining game, full of positives for Park FC against a strong Camp team who ran out deserved winners on the day.

Under Thriteen (2005)

Our thirteen A team have no fixture this weekend due to them being a round ahead in the National Cup. Our thirteen B team are hosting Ballyheigue in Christy Leahy Park.

Under Fourteen (2004) Our under fourteen A team had a big win in the Skechers SFAI Cup at the weekend hers the match report;

SFAI National Cup
Park 7 Charleville 1

After twenty minutes of this game nobody would have believed the score would end up as it did, with a pretty easy win for Park.
Although Park had fallen behind to a counter attack goal after nineteen minutes, the boys were playing really well. Fast, accurate passing allied to a really strong work rate had given them a vice like grip on the game.

Cianan Cooney, who had an excellent game throughout, equalised, when Charleville failed to clear Seán O’Connor’s shot, just five minutes after going behind.

The Charleville keeper then kept the scores level until half time as he produced fine saves from Kieran O’Connor and two more from Cooney.

The second half started with Park once again in the ascendancy and firing a few shots over as they tried valiantly to set their sights a bit lower.

Excellent interplay between Seán O’Connell and Cianan Cooney, after  ten minutes of the half, had Cooney just over with a right foot piledriver but soon afterwards he made amends.

He shimmied past a Charleville defender before hitting a sweet drive to the top of the Charleville net. Two one to Park and they were still playing well within themselves.
Ben Hanafin set up Messiah Chirwa five minutes later but his shot was saved by the young Cork custodian. A third was surely in the offing and it duly arrived on twenty minutes.

A cross into the box was met by the in-rushing Josh Connolly to score the goal that finally broke the Charleville resistance.

Kieran O’Connor with a superb free kick, Conor Kerins (who was outstanding all day) from 30 yards, Seán O’Connell from a similar distance and Josh Connolly from close range put the icing on the cake.All sixteen players were excellent and continue to improve.

There will be tough challenges ahead but sometimes you just have to be happy with a fine performance from some excellent young players. This was one of those times.
Thanks to all the supporters, parents and especially the club members who had the pitch and facilities in excellent order today. Thanks also to the Charleville team and management for a very sporting game.

Squad:
Liam Carmody, Samuel Aladesanusi, Seán O’Connell, Seán Hill, Kieran O’Connor, Conor Kerins, Colin Doody, Josh Connolly, Messiah Chirwa, Seán O’Connor, Cianan Cooney, Ben Hanafin, Luke O’Connell, Killian Murphy, David Feeley and Cian O’Neill.

Under Fifteen (2003)

Both our under fithteen teams are at home this weekend in their respective leagues both kick off times are at 11.30am in Christy Leahy park. Our A team play league leader Camp Juniors while our B team host Ballyheigue Ath all support is greatly appricated.

Under sixteen(2002)

Our under sixteen A and B teams both braved the wintery conditions the weekend here are the match  reports;

U16 National Cup:
Our 16s had a tough encounter at home on Saturday in the National Cup against a very good Nenagh side with a last thirty two place at stake & also a Munster semifinal up for grabs.

Conditions were terrible with wind & rain throughout the eighty minutes but both teams tried to play passing football nevertheless.
We started the brighter dominating most of the first thirty minutes but really should have had two or three goals for our efforts.

We did however get one on eleven minutes after a beauty of a through ball from Darragh Moriarty sent John Carmody on his way & John made no mistake with a cool finish.

It was no more than we deserved after John had skinned the cross bar, Mervyn had seen his shot saved & Darragh Moriarty had seen his goal ward shot sail just over with the Nenagh keeper beaten.

Some days you just can’t buy a goal & when Luke Dennehy’s cross clipped the cross bar, again with the Nenagh keeper beaten, it looked like faith was against us.

Darragh again shot just over from outside the box & Nenagh couldn’t get up the field but when the did they found Cian Purcell, Greg Scanlon, Nick Izehi, Andrew Murphy & Luke Dennehy a wall of red & black.

The final ten minutes of the half saw the Tipp lads have their first real shot before a punt upfield wasn’t dealt with by our defence & the final touch coming off one of our heads for a killer equaliser right on halftime. All our good work cancelled out.

Nenagh came out fighting in the second half & should have taken the lead inside the first ten minutes but we managed to clear our lines.

Then came the match changer after another attack on the right wing & a cross was met first time on the volley with our Captain Devon Burns making  a double ‘Darren Randolph’ like save on the line which could have changed the course of the game.

Terence Carmody moved from the wing into left back with TJ McMahon going out wide & Robert Kerins coming on for Darragh Moriarty who had covered every blade of grass on both wings.

Nathan Holden was taking the fight to Nenagh in the middle of the Park & eventually had to be replaced after seventy five minutes with Tide bringing a fresh pair of legs into the centre.

The changes gave us a foothold again & TJ was starting to show how dangerous he can be with a shot across the goal followed by a volley which agonisingly hit the side netting.

With three minutes of normal time time left & extra time looming large TJ cut in from the left turning inside the Nenagh defender before coolly slotting the ball into the net to spark wild celebrations on & off the pitch.

After two very long minutes of injury time the final whistle came at last & we can now look forward to at least another two games against some of the best teams in the country.
FT 2 – 1
MotM John Carmody

Fenit Samphires 2 : 4

On a blustery morning the breeze was going to have a part to play & that’s exactly what happened when a shot from just inside our half floated in over DJ Griffin after 5 minutes to give the home side the lead.

We went 2-1 up through Sean scoring two. DJ had pulled off two top class saves to keep us in front in the game with Fenit making full use of the strong breeze.

Fenit were unlucky not to have another goal before the half time whistle after a shot ran along our goal line before being clearedDespite having the advantage of the breeze in the second half, which we rarely used, it was fifty – fifty for the most part.

Kieran O Leary & Jordan Mason battled for every ball in the centre of the park, while our defence was tight with Peter Dineen & Man of the Match Liam Magee composed on the ball.

Ryan, Cian & Connor Kavanagh all dealt with the attacking wingers Fenit threw at us & got forward when needed.  With fifteen minutes to go Sean was reintroduced in midfield for Jordan Mason who ran himself into the ground & with his first touch found the net for his fourth of the day.

Simon Moynihan gave his best performance to date on the wing, working tirelessly up & down the pitch. Fenit completed the scoring in injury time when ex Park boy Gavin Burrows scored late in injury time. Great credit to our keeper DJ who played a full half with a serious hand injury, pulling off some fine saves.
Full time 2 – 4

Youth Team (2001)

Munster Youth CupKerry Area Semifinal
Park FC 5 v 1 Castleisland Afc

Park controlled the game but were guilty of been wasteful in front of goal and were made to pay when Castleisland were awarded a dubious penalty in the forty fourth minute which they converted  to take a shock lead into the break.
Park management made a couple of positional changes for the second half and moving James Sheehan from right back to midfield proved to be the key as Park pressed Castleisland and totally dominated the second half , netting five goals with captain Adam Ward hitting a brace and one apiece coming from Aaron Ward , JR Tshikato and Jordan Barry.
Best for Park;Conor O’Brien – Shane Jordan – Adam Ward – Kevin Brown
Man of Match ; James Sheeehan
Park Team ; Conor Hayes – Jack Donohue – Shane Jordan – James Sheehan – Leon Shalemba – JR Tshikato – Adam Ward – Kevin Brown – Jordan Barry – Aaron Ward – Conor O’Brien ;Bench – Jamie O’Brien – David Oba – Mike Lacey – Ben Falvey – Andrew Breen

Our under eleven A boys finally got their schoolboy career going at the weekend when the headed to Ballybunion to play LB Rovers. Some happy boys who more than happy to show off their skills.

Under 12 (2006)

Our U12B team will host Camp Juniors at 10am Saturday morning.

Under 13 (2005)

Our under thirteen teams are both were victorious last  week with the A team defeating Aisling Annacotty B by six goals to nil in the Skecher SFAI Cup and our B team narrowly shading  Kilorglin B with that game finishing three goals to two in Christy Leahy Park.

It started out a nice morning in Christy Leahy Park for the under 13 game between our U13B’s and Killorglin B but just after kick off at midday it got very windy. We tipped off against the wind and had the upper hand from the beginning with Dylan Hobbart scoring after just 3 minutes. We were playing lovely football with some great moves cutting through the middle of the Killorglin defence.

However 5 minutes later a kick out by the Park keeper Keith Cotter, who had a great game, was caught by the wind and fell to the Killorglin attack and they made the most of it to equalise. Half way through the half, excellent play in midfield saw the ball played forward and between Dylan and Rodrigo Pinho who worked well together, Rodrigo stuck the ball in the Killorglin net to make it 2-1.

We continued to dominate the game with excellent play in mid field, Sean Moynihan played a super game running all over the field, working hard and winning the ball. Just before half time however, Killorglin equalized to leave the score 2-2 at the break.

The weather turned bad for the start of the second half with very heavy rain. We again controlled the play and put in an excellent display and were rewarded with the winning goal scored by Conor Cronin 10 minutes from the end to leave the scoreline at 3-2 in our favour.

The whole team are to be congratulated, they played as a unit, great contributions from everyone involved, Eoghan Bradshaw, Tadgh Foley, Dean Mc Elligott, Jack Slattery, Danial O Connor, Cillian O Mahony, Jamie Williams, Ghazi and Ade.

Well done guys

Under 11 (2007)

Under 12 (2006)

our under twelve A team traveled to Killorglin on Saturday last and were on the wrong side of a five nil loss. It was a tough day at the office for these young boys but they a resilant bunch and there is no doubt that will bouce back in the near future.

Under 13 (2005)

Our under thirteen teams are both out this week with the A team haeding to Limerick to play Aisling Annacotty B in the Skecher SFAI Cup and our B team host Kilorglin B in .Christy Leahy Park.

Under 14 (2004)

Park FC 0 Killorglin 0

Rustiness can be defined as impaired by neglect, disuse, or lack of practice and that certainly seemed to be the case for the Park boys in their game against Killorglin on Saturday. Despite playing with a sizable amount of possession the final finish just wasn’t there.

It was however, obvious to everyone that both sides will come on a lot for the game.
Perhaps it was a bit of rustiness on the Killorglin side that saw them fail to open the scoring after twenty seconds.

Park actually kicked off but lost possession easily and suddenly Killorglin were presented with a one v one. Thankfully it was put past the out rushing keeper but also past the post.
It took Park some time to settle and while there were some excellent passages of play, there were also times when better decisions could have been made. Ben Hanafin and Seán Hill were doing well at the back for the Park but overall the spark just seemed to be missing.

Ciaran Cooney had a great chance midway through the half after good work from Sean O’Connor and Colin Doody but his accurate low shot was well saved by the Killorglin keeper.

At the other end Killorglin had a free well dealt with by Liam Carmody. While it was mostly Park possession, they just couldn’t apply the necessary finish. A wonderful move including five different players almost ended with Messiah Chirwa opening the scoring but he was denied by some good Killorglin defending.

Colin Doody was creating problems for Killorglin and chances for Park from his position on the right. One of these should probably have been converted just before half time but again bodies were in the way and the lack of matches was showing.

Sean Hill had an outstanding match at the back for Park and he continued his fine first half performance with several important interceptions in the second as Killorglin opened the half with more possession and some half chances.

The best Park effort on goal in the second half was a pile driver from Cianan Cooney, while David Feeley was just a whisker away from connecting with an excellent Seán O’Connell delivery late in the half.

Nil all it finished and while it felt like two points dropped for the Park boys, they will have to be very happy with some of their passing and play.

All of the lads worked exceptionally hard and without doubt, will improve immeasurably as the season continues. Hopefully the rustiness has been removed.

Training continues on Monday and Thursday nights.

Thanks to all the parents who as always were there in numbers to support the team and to Colm McLoughlin for setting up the pitch.

Squad:
Liam Carmody, Samuel Aladesanusi, Seán O’Connell, Seán Hill, Kieran O’Connor, Conor Kerins, Colin Doody, Josh Connolly, Messiah Chirwa, Seán O’Connor, Cianan Cooney, Ben Hanafin, Luke O’Connell, Killian Murphy, David Feeley and Cian O’Neill.

Under 12 (2006)

On Saturday last our U12A team travelled to Killarney Athletic in the Skechers SFAI Cup 3rd round. In the opening quarter of the first half it was pretty frantic with both side looking threatening.

We had the better of possession and we were unfortunate not to take the lead when a lovely one-two down our right had side between Aaron Powell and Andrew Kerins saw Aaron through with the keeper and his shot was well saved at the near post from the Athletic goalkeeper.

Athletic thought they had an opportunity to score when their striker raced through on Oisin O’Halloron’s goal and as he was lining up his shot in came Immanuel Manu with a wonderfully timed sliding tackle to spare his keeper having to be called into action keeping the game scoreless.

We began to control the game more and more. In goal Oshìn O’Halloran hadn’t much to do with Immanuel Manu & James Fisher dominant in defence winning the ball back in what seemed almost every occasion that they faced a direct opponent, with Andrew Kerins(right) & Ciarán Kavanagh(left) bombing up and down the wings at every opportunity, our midfield trio of Nathan Aherne,Bruno Browzy & Aaron Powell controlling the middle third of the pitch and with Seamus Kelly Up front causing a lot of problems to the Athletic defence with his direct running towards the Athletic goal.

As legs began to tire towards the end of the half we replaced Aaron and Bruno for Jay Jay Olajitan & Jack Slattery in the 24th min. A tactical switch was needed with Seamus dropping into midfield to replace Bruno and Jack going in as the no.10 for Aaron which meant Jay Jay slotting in up front.

With less then a minute of the changes we reaped an instant reward, Ciarian Kavanagh and Seamus Kelly combined down the left to set Jay Jay away, he bust through towards the Athletic goal at a almost light speed with the defenders trailing in his wake, when he arrived on the edge of the box he had the composure and presence of mind to look inside to see Jack who’s movement was superb to find a pocket of space and Jay Jay’s perfectly waited pass to was finished expertly by Jack to put us in front with a fantastic fluid move.

We pressed for a second goal before half time, and almost got one when Seamus forced a corner. Jack from our right took the corner right footed, it was almost the inch perfect he floated the ball over to the back post only to see his delivery cannoned off the up right to go agonisingly wide and see us going in at halftime with a deserved 1-0 lead.

At half time we introduced Justin O’Sullivan for Nathan , who had pick up a knock. Mid way through the second half Justin received the ball out wide on the left just in the opposition half he drove at the first on coming defender jinking past him in towards the corner of the box as the second defender approached Justin turned on the style, he did a 360 roulette like Zidane in his prime, as the next defender tried in vain to win the ball Justin with the faintest of touches flicked the ball past him to set himself right in the top of the box and with composure well beyond his years gave the Athletic keeper no chance with his shot back across goal as it looked like he was going to shoot to the keepers near side. A superb individual goal from Justin that put us in the driving seat.

Athletic were still looking dangerous on the counter attack and they forced Oisin into a superb save with his right foot to consolidate his clean sheet. We almost got a third from Jack, Justin again drove in from the left hand side when he was up ended to win a free kick about 20 yards from goal, Jack free kick was perfectly waited strike had the keeper beaten and seemed to be heading towards the top corner only for an Athletic defender to head it on to the cross bar and out for a corner.

A wonderful effort on goal followed by a brilliant defencive clearance to keep the scoreline at 2-0 and that how the game finished.
A great team performance against a good Killarney Athletic team. We had massive performances from Andrew, Jack, Seamus & James. with Immanuel just shading the Man of the Match.

With that being said we’d like thanks the parents of our boys for their brilliant support and Killarney Athletic for the hospitality with a fine spread laid on for us afterwards in their club house.

St Brendan’s Park FC Under 12Bs 3-2 Listowel Celtic Under 12Bs

St Brendan’s Park FC Under 12 Bs took the field against a strong, determined Listowel Celtic side, who started impressively and bossed the first 15 minutes of the game in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

Our defence held firm, with man-of-the-match Rory showing excellent control and touch, backed up by Sean Solomon, Killian and Zach to neutralise Celtic’s rampaging raids. When Celtic did break through, Sean Heaslip was immense in goal.

But we grew into the game, helped by a speedy midfield of Odhran, William and Trey while captain for the day, Eldion, was everywhere in his defensive midfield role, marshalling the defence while inspiring the attack.

With 10 minutes to the half time break, Odhran converted a through ball from Eldion to put us 1-0 up at the break. Coach Paul was full of encouragement at half time, but early in the second half Celtic slipped Park’s offside trap and equalised with a neat finish from their centre forward.

We poured forward in search of a goal and five minutes later it came, Odhran neatly finishing for his second of the game after great movement from attackers Marc and Adam. The game was now incredibly open, with attacks flowing from end to end and the enthusiastic crowd roaring on their charges.

Celtic pushed for an equaliser and camped out for long periods in our  half, rattling the crossbar with a thunderbolt of a shot, but from a long though ball from Zach on our next attack, Trey found himself with only the goalkeeper to beat and did so with some style to make it 3-1.

Celtic got a goal back in the dying embers of the game and pushed hard for a leveller in the final few seconds, but it was not to be and we held on for the win in a cracking game.

U16 Sketchers SFAI Cup

Our 16’s travel to Limerick city on Saturday to play Caherdavin Celtic in the National Cup.
We started the brighter with John Carmody pulling a shot just wide within the first ten minutes & Mervyn following up a few minutes later with another shot across the face of Celtics goal.
A cross from John Carmody in the twenty-sixth minute just missed both Tide & Mervyn inside the box but Terence was following up to finish at the back post.
Within a minute we had doubled our lead as a pinpoint Devon Burns kick out found Mervyn on the last defenders shoulder & once he controlled the ball it was only going one place & that was bottom corner of the net for a fantastic finish.
Celtic replied inside three minutes after we failed to clear a ball on the edge of the box & it was no more than they deserved after a number of chances including one bicycle kick which thankfully sailed over Devons crossbar. Nathan Holden played the pass of the day through the Limerick lads midfield to put John Carmody in on goal but again his shot went inches wide.
Halftime 2 – 1
After fifteen minutes of the restart Terence turned provider after a lovely pass into the box for Mervyn to side foot in. A minute later John once again had to watch his shot drift wide after rolling across the goal line & somehow stay out. Our defence was well on top with Nick & Cian rock solid while Andrew Murphy & Terence Carmody tormented Celtic with their attaching runs from full back.
The final score came on twenty nine minutes of the half when Andrew picked out Mervyn with a beauty & Mervyn finished coolly for his hat-trick.
A great team performance by all with Mervyn picking up the Man of the Match award.
Thanks to Caherdavin Celtic for the hospitality with a fine spread laid on for us afterwards in their club house.

U16B

Our 16B team travelled out to Killarney on Thursday night to play their B’s & we came home empty handed after a three nil defeat. We probably deserved a goal at least for our efforts but Celtic deserved the three points after a very good team display.

Denny Youth LeaguePark FC 2 : 1 Castleisland

Park were made to work hard to claim all three points in their second league outing.
Castleisland took an early lead on twelve minutes with a snap shot from the edge of the area beating the Park keeper Jack Rogers low to his left hand post.

Park were closed down quickly every time they got on the ball and were forced into long range efforts from Adam Ward and Leon Shalemba by a resilient Castleisland defense and went into the break with a deserved lead.

Park management made positional changes for the second half and brought in Aaron Ward on the right side these changes and higher tempo from the Park players saw them dominate the game.The break thru for the Park came twenty minutes into the half with Jordan Barry breaking down the left and cutting the ball back to Conor O’Brien and he guided the ball low under the advancing keeper.

Park were now totally dominant and wave after wave of attack it was Jordan Barry again gave Park the lead scoring at the back post with a bullett of a header in the seventy fifth minute.Park shut up shop for the final ten minutes and overall deserved the win,
Best for Park ;Jack Donahue – Jordan Barry – Adam Ward – Aaron Ward – Leon Shalemba

U15 Premier League

Inter Kenmare 1 Park 2

Our U15A made the long trip to Kenmare on Saturday morning last with hopes of back-to back victories following their National Cup win a fortnight ago.  Shorn of the services of John O’Connor, Earnan Ferris and Adam Sheehy through injury, the club’s U14s helped out and Messiah Chirwa, Cianan Cooney, Colin Doody and Ben Hanafin were drafted in to bolster the squad, which also featured new signing, keeper Gavin O’Brien.

We started well and were very comfortable in possession, especially when building from the back, where James Charles was very accurate in possession and he was ably supported by Marc Brick and Adam Walker who were very solid throughout.  Leon Gallagher and Jack Twamley were controlling midfield, with Dan Fisher and Sean Kedzierski raiding down the flanks and David Callaghan a threat in behind the homesters defence.  The pressure paid off when a typical Park move split the Inter defence and when the ball broke to Cianan Cooney 12 yards out, he smashed in high into the net to give the Tralee lads a deserved lead.  Kenmare refused to buckle however and were right back in the game shortly after, when a long-range shot eluded Gavin O’Brien to level matters.  It was nip and tuck from there to half time although Park had just about regained the initiative with the introduction of Chirwa, Doody and Hanafin.

On the resumption, Park regained control, particularly with the introduction of Darragh Walsh into central defence where his pace and strength were clearly evident.  This also released warrior captain Ryan Guerin into midfield where he immediately stabilized proceedings and was complimented by the re-introduction of Gallagher who started to pick holes in the Kenmare defence with his range of passing, which continually released the dangerous Doody down the right flank.  Matt Healy also entered the fray and gave the visitors another option down the opposite wing.

The pressure finally told when Chirwa picked out the mercurial Cooney’s superbly timed run with an exquisite pass inside the box and he made no mistake to make it 2-1 to Park.  In fact, Cooney was only denied a hat-trick when his 20-yard shot came back off the crossbar with the keeper beaten.  To their credit, Inter never gave up and pressed to the finish, but with Walsh rock-solid, Charles and Hanafin steadfast while also carrying the ball out of defence and Twamley and Walker back in the action to reinforce the rearguard, Park saw the game out impressively to claim the spoils.

Park: O’Brien, Walker, Charles, Guerin, Brick, Twamley, Gallagher, Kedzierski, Cooney, Fisher, Callaghan, Walsh, Healy, Hanafin, Chirwa, Doody

Special thanks to Ken, Dominik, John Walker, Con Healy, Andy “coffee” Fisher and Denis ”The Boxer” Hanafin for providing transport.

VITHIT 12 PREMIER RESULT

PARK U12A 4 : 0 L.B Rovers

On Wednesday evening our u12A got their league campaign at home to L.B Rovers. On the night we proved a little to strong for the away side by putting 4 past the visitors.

We started the game on the front foot, creating a number of changes, before eventually getting the opener when Seamus Kelly cleared a corner into the path of Jay Jay Olatigan.

He then played a pass from the right wing in to Marcus,in the centre circle, who slipped as the ball was coming towards him but somehow managed to get the faintest of touches on the ball and knock it around the defender into the  path of the on rushing Justin O’Sullivan who was now clear through on goal and with only the keeper to beat he applied the finish.
We went in one nil at the break. The second half went much of the same with three more goals scored all coming from substitutes. Ryan McMahon getting the second with a sweet left footed strike, Ciarian Kavanagh added a third after a great run down the left beating two men before hammering a shot to beat the keeper at his near post. Sam Fitzgerald rounded off the scoring to make it  four nil.

Squad: Oshin O.Hallaron, Jay Jay Olatigan, Andrew Kerins, James Fisher, Immanuel Manu, Justin O’Sullivan, Seamus Kelly, Nathan Aherne, Marcus Connolly
Subs: Aaron Powell,Jack Slattery , Ciarian Kavanagh Bruno Browsy Ryan McMahon and Sam Fitzgearld.

MOTM was Immanuel Manu. He gave a solid commanding performance at centre back.

we took the lead through CiarianKavanagh latched on to an inch perfect Jack Slattery diagonal pass to fire home a superb low volley into the bottom corner. We made it two nil within thirty seconds of the restart when half time substitutes Andrew Kerins played a one- two with Seamus Kelly.Andrew  whipped a cross to the back post to Ciarian Kavanagh who for the second time time found the bottom corner.

Pushing for the third we were hit on the counter attack to pull the score back to two-one. Seamus Kelly added a third after a flying run from Justin O’Sullivan down the left he laid the ball into Seamus path whose first time shot flew past the Palls keeper.

Pallas pushed hard to the end and pulled a goal back. An unstoppable free kick into the top corner, to make it three-two with  six minutes to go. The nerves had began to set in but the lads did brilliant to see the game out and now they head into round three of the competition.

Birdhill 0 Park FC 8

The Birdhill management had warned during the week that their side were young and looking for experience at this level and in fairness they were right. Birdhill were game opposition and held Park to just three goals in the first half but the Park boys were just too strong over the full seventy minutes.

When Josh Connolly opened the scoring with a long range shot in the first minute it looked ominous for Birdhill. Park were passing the ball well and opening the opposition up, but to their credit, Birdhill battled bravely even though they were being stretched all over the pitch.
Killian Murphy went close before Josh Connolly got his second, a fine goal ably assisted by Cianan Cooney. These two players combined again in the twentieth minute but this time it was Cooney finishing things off. Three nil at the break and no more than Park deserved.
Kieran O’Connor, Cooney, Conor Kerins, Ben Hanafin and Colin Doody all scored in the second half as the Birdhill team tired and they gave younger players some game time. It finished 8-0 on a wet afternoon in Tipperary.
There will be tougher challenges ahead and better performances will be required but it was still a good first competitive outing for the boys this season.
Thank you to all the parents for providing lifts and support and to Birdhill for their generous hospitality. We wish them all the best for the rest of the season.
A home game beckons in the next round.

Squad:
Liam Carmody, Samuel Aladesanusi, Seán O’Connell, Seán Hill, Kieran O’Connor, Conor Kerins, Colin Doody, Josh Connolly, Messiah Chirwa, Seán O’Connor, Cianan Cooney, Ben Hanafin, Luke O’Connell, Killian Murphy, David Feeley and Cian O’Neill.

Seniors

Match report.

St Brendans Park junior side made our return to the Kerry District League in Division 1B on Sunday last.

We faced Listowel Celtic B, a tough side in tougher weather away in Tanavalla and the Fealesiders were awarded a penalty on 12 minutes and went up 1-0.  We responded and were awarded a penalty of our own five minutes later and Mikey Burke equalised.

We pressed on from the kick off and Mikey netted his second to put us in front.  Our  midfield duo of Graham O’Neill and John Dineen were now running the show, contesting every ball and keeping our attack going. We continued to create chances,  especially with the pace of Aaron Ward down the left and Mikey soon completed his hat-trick before going on to notch his fourth before the break.

The second half saw us under a bit of pressure with the wind against us as Listowel started launching balls into our box, but some fantastic acrobatics from keeper, Jack Rogers kept us alive. However,  another through ball led to a mix-up in our defence and another penalty was conceded, which Listowel converted to make it 4-2.

The high winds remained a factor and saw us concede again as Listowel made some key changes.  At 4-3, we introduced Nathan O’Leary, who had played all his schoolboy and youth football with the club and was making a welcom return.

The year’s of coaching quickly told as Nathan made an instant impact and we settled down again with Mikey Burke netting his fifth after being played through by the influential number 10, Donagh O’Brien and we kept piling on the pressure, creating chances until Arron Ward killed the game off with a cool finish to make it 6-3.

Well done to all today.

The Management Committee have decided that the Registration Fee payable per each player for the coming season will be €100, with training/match fees maintained at last season’s amount of €140, so the total cost per player for the full season is €240.

We are pleased to announce that the above fees include a Park F.C. branded O’Neills triton windcheater.

The fees will be used to pay Registration and Affiliation fees with both the Kerry Schoolboys/Girls League or the Kerry District League (adults), Player Insurance, electricity bills for our floodlights, as well as Referee’s fees, kit-washes etc.  The discounted Registration Fee for a second family member is €60, with discounted training fee €70.

The discounted Registration Fee for a second family member can be paid in instalments of €40, €40 and €50 by the above dates.

Please note that the Management Committee have decided that a player is ineligible to train and therefore ineligible for selection if the Registration Fee is not paid in full by 29th September or by the above dates if paying by instalments.

A Registration night will be held for each squad during the coming weeks in advance of the first deadline on 29thSeptember (on training nights where possible).  Team Managers will advise you of the details.  Two further Registration nights will be scheduled in advance of Friday 24th November and Friday 23rd February 2018, to facilitate those who wish to pay in instalments by cash/cheque.

The Club is aware that the start of the football season coincides with that time of the year which places a burden on family finances in particular, but we believe that our fees are very good value for money for the service we provide and compare favourably with those of other sporting organisations.  We also hope that the instalment option will help.

Should you have any queries regarding this letter, please contact the Club Registrar at the number below (outside office hours), or any member of the Management Committee.

Under 15s(2003)

Park’s new look U15 squad acquitted themselves very well in Cork at the College Corinthians tournament on Sunday last.  Pitted against the hosts in the opening fixture, Park started very well with Sean Broderick, Ryan Guerin, Shoun Kedzierski and Adam Walker to the fore but lack of match practice told and Corinthians pounced to open the scoring after 15 minutes.

On the resumption, Park were caught cold from a set piece and despite the best efforts of Leonard, Leonid, Mark Curtin and Scott Rumgay, we were unable to get back into the game and when Corinthians scored after a goalmouth scramble, the Corkonians were truly flattered by their winning margin.

In the second game Park came up against Waterford kingpins Villa Utd. It looked ominous for the Tralee lads when Villa scored a very preventable goal in the first minute and held the lead into the half time break.

Spurred on by James Charles and Darren Griffin at the back, Jack Twamley and Leon Gallagher in midfield and Matt Healy up front, Park stormed back into the game in the second half and their equaliser was a thing of beauty. Broderick rolled a short kickout to Guerin who swept it wide to Walker.

The wing back played a reverse pass to Charles who launched a superb long pass into the inside right channel where David Callaghan latched onto it and smashed his shot across the keeper into the far corner. Park also had a goal from Matt Healy ruled out for offside and were full value for the draw.

In their final game, Park met Clonmel Town knowing that a win should guarantee second place, as would a draw if results elsewhere went their way.

After a tense struggle in which Park were well served by Dan Fisher and Vincent Murphy, neither side managed to break the deadlock, but with Villa losing to Corinthians, Park finished a very creditable second place in the group.

Overall, it was a fine squad performance from the Tralee side with Sean Broderick outstanding in goals, Ryan Guerin an inspiring skipper, with good support from James Charles and Darren Griffin and Adam Walker impressive at wing back.

The midfield duo of Jack Twamley and Leon Gallagher worked tirelessly throughout and David Callaghan was always dangerous up front but Park’s Man of the Tournament was highly influential midfielder Shoun Kedzierski.

Great credit is due to College Corinthians who were amiable and efficient hosts and showed how this type of tournament can be run.

First ever goal in the 15’s League of Ireland.1-1 at half time with Cork’s Sean Cummins equalising in the 35th minute. 2-1 Cork with bizarre goal as it rebounded off referee into path of Chris O’Connor who made no mistake in the 42nd minute. Colin Walsh (Park FC) levels matters with a cracking strike but then Cork go 3-2 up in next attack. Well done to all involved. A tough opening fixture but plenty of positives to take from it. Up next is a home tie with Wexford FC following their opening 9-0 thrashing of Cobh Ramblers.

ST. BRENDAN’S PARK FC CLUB NOTES:

The Club recently learned with deep regret of the passing of John O’Flynn, St.Brendans Park, Tralee. John or Johnno, as we affectionately called him, both played and was an officer with us for many a year and was called away much too early in life. Our deepest condolences to all his family and the many, many friends he made on and off the pitch. May the sod lie gently on his soul.
