Senior Mens Club Championship: Last Saturday afternoon Na Gaeil hosted Milltown/Castlemaine in the Kerry Petroleum senior club championship. Played in perfect conditions it fell to Ruairí Ó hAiniféin to open the scoring before a Milltown/Castlemaine free levelled matters.
Three frees from Liam Cooper and a point from Jack Bourke either side of 2 for Milltown/Castlemaine left the home side ahead 5-3 after a somewhat cagey first 18 minutes.
An excellent individual goal from corner back Jack Doyle was quickly followed by a point from Liam Cooper to give our lads a decent 6-point advantage. The visitors just about kept in touch with a pointed free and 1 from play as well as a 45 but 2 more points from play from Liam Cooper saw Na Gaeil take a deserved 5 point lead to the dressing room at halftime.
The visitors came out with intent for the 2nd half and quickly added 2 points. Then came the decisive moment of the game as Jamesie O’Connor was shown a second yellow card for a high tackle. Milltown/Castlemaine now had an extra player and proceeded to kick 3 points in quick succession to level the game mid-way through the half.
However a super turnover by Enda O’Connor in defence led to a point from Liam Cooper and then Darragh Reen stretched the home sides advantage out to 2 points.
Neither team managed a score for the remainder of the half and it looked like Na Gaeil might hold out for the win but unfortunately Milltown/Castlemaine finished with a flourish, netting a goal and 2 points without reply in injury time, to seal the win. Final score: Na Gaeil 1-10, Milltown/Castlemaine 1-13.
Senior Ladies Championship: Na Gaeil senior ladies kicked off their county championship yesterday in Killeen with a hard-fought win over newcomers to the senior grade, Clounmacon/Moyvane. Our girls started well and led by 4 points to nil after 14 minutes, the scores coming from Eilís O’Connor, Jadyn Lucey, Cara Gannon & Kateanne O’Connor.
Both sides were guilty of some poor shooting after this but the North Kerry girls eventually found their range with 2 frees to leave the halftime score 4 points to 2 in favour of Na Gaeil. The second half was only a minute old when Jadyn Lucey kicked a nice score from play.
A few moments later the same player saw her free kick deceive the Clounmacon/Moyvane keeper for a precious goal and from there Na Gaeil never looked back. Further points from Jadyn Lucey (free), Meagan Sheehy and the industrious Megan O’Connor cancelled out 2 frees and 1 from play for the visitors as the half wore on.
Sub Siena Lucey helped herself to a point before Jadyn closed out the scoring with 2 more points, one from a free. Final score: Na Gaeil 1-11, Clounmacon/Moyvane 0-5. Next Sunday our girls will make the long trip to South Kerry to play Southern Gaels in round 2.
