Under 16 championship:
An intense, close and exciting game out in Kilmoyley Tuesday night the 28th. Parnells started well, aided by a diagonal south westerly breeze, taking the first 2 points. However, Kilmoyley ran in a goal and followed with point to lead by 2.
Parnells stuck to their task and regained the lead, to go into the interval ahead 1-2 to 0-9. Kilmoyley were more productive in front of goal in the second half, scoring 3 more goals. Parnells too kept the scoreboard ticking over, Kenny switched to a more forward position and took a goal to go with his points tally. Cathal Dunne swept up tirelessly around the center and help set up repeated attacks.
From some of the resulting fouls, Darragh Fitzgerald sent over points for Tralee. However, Kilmoyley battled hard and regained the lead late in the game, ahead by a point. From the puck out the visitors went quickly back up the field and the resulting score, finished to the net by Luke Chester, put us into a lead that we retained to the final whistle. Final score 4-3 to 2-12. Now we await our next fixture when we face Causeway in Caherslee on Tuesday night the 5th.
Lining out for Parnells we had Robin Porter, Sean Hamilton, Sean O’Driscoll, Jim Cadogan, Darragh Keane, Cathal Dunne, Ruari O Sullivan, Darragh Reen, Mark Roche, Luke Chester, Joe Hanafin, Martin Savage, Darragh Fitzgerald, Kenny Foran, Jonathan Lowe, Cian Cronin, Terence Carmody, Tadhg Reen, Patrick Dowling.

Minor County League:
No joy for our minors Monday evening in the County League. The lads played well in patches but a few missed goal chances cost us as Kenmare/Kilgarvan won handy enough in the end. Thanks to the 16 players who traveled to Kilgarvan.
