Minors:
A panel of 20 of our minors traveled to the NK league match away to Kilmoyley Tuesday 3rd Apr. This was a big step for our still young club, a minor team playing a competitive competition fixture on their own for the first time as Tralee Parnells.
On the night the young home side had 13 who started including some skillful young under 16s, but were hampered when one player had to go to the line with an injury for a spell of treatment. As the game went on, the ability of the visitors to use their bench began to tell and Parnells ran out comfortable winners in the end, against a gallant Kilmoyley who showed skill and determination throughout. Next fixtures; North Kerry Minor Round 2 Parnells v Ballyduff , Sunday 15th of April 11.30 am. North Kerry Minor Round 3 Lixnaw v Parnells, Sunday 22nd April 11.30 am.
