Kerry Petroleum Senior Club Championship Final Match Report, Templenoe V Kerins O'Rahillys

Kerry Petroleum Senior Football Club Championship Final.

Templenoe 0-14, Kerins O’Rahillys 0-15.

Templenoe senior footballers gave it absolutely everything, but just came up short by the narrowest of margins in the finish after a very entertaining game of football. As Templenoe know from all the years at Intermediate level, championship finals are hard to win and sometimes you just need a little bit of luck, but this deserted Templenoe at the crucial stage last Sunday. Perhaps also the experience gained from playing in last year’s County Championship final stood to Kerins O’Rahillys who will now go on to represent Kerry in the Munster senior club championship.

The match was played in ideal conditions before a large crowd with Templenoe opting to play into the dressing rooms end of Fitzgerald Stadium for the first half after winning the toss. However, the first seven minutes belonged to Kerins O’Rahillys who got off to flyer to outscore Templenoe by 0-05 to 0-01 with Gavin O’Brien scoring the opener, quickly followed by contributions from Conor Hayes, Tom Hoare, Jack Savage (f) and Tommy Walsh. In between, Josh Crowley Holland split the posts for Templenoe. O’Rahillys had a chance to extend their lead even further but were wide of the target. Credit to Templenoe, they regrouped well and responded admirably with the next three scores on the trot, the first of which came from a beautiful long range effort from Brian Crowley, then Killian Spillane from a free and Aidan Crowley with a 45 brought the deficit down to a single point by the 14^th minute. It was ebb and flow from there on, with O’Rahillys upping their game again to fire over three more unanswered points courtesy of former county stars Barry John Keane (2) and Tommy Walsh. But Templenoe reeled them in again with a hat trick of points from Killian Spillane in quick succession, two from frees and one from play to put just the minimum between the sides once more. The remaining minutes of the first half saw Jack Savage and Cormac Coffey exchange scores with Killian Spillane (2), to leave it all to play for going in at the break.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-09, Kerins O’Rahillys 0-10.

On resumption Templenoe levelled and then went in front for the first time with Killian Spillane and Sean Sheehan popping over a point each to raise the hopes of the Templenoe faithful. Both sides tightened up a bit in the second half, reducing the flow of scores a bit. But it remained an open game of football with neither team going negative. Barry John Keane then added another score to his tally before Jack Savage landed his first placed ball of the second half to swing the game back in Kerins O’Rahilly’s favour. Then at the other end Killian Spillane continued his scoring exhibition with a pointed free to tie the scores at 0-12 points apiece after 40 minutes of play. You just couldn’t call a winner at this stage. Ultimately, three successfully struck placed balls between the 45^th  minute and the 51^st minute from the unerring Jack Savage was enough to see O’Rahillys win out. Both sides had goal chances coming into the home straight with Stephen O’Sullivan going close for Templenoe, while Ben Hanafin was just off target for the Rahillys. Another pointed free from Killian Spillane, followed by a point from play from Stephen O’Sullivan set up a tense finish and it so nearly did go to extra-time. A Killian Spillane free at the death was only inches away from going over the bar and was subsequently cleared from the line to deny Templenoe the crown. O’Rahillys lifted the siege and with that, the referee blew the full time whistle.

After the game the County Senior Club Cup was presented to Kerins O’Rahillys captain Ross O’Callaghan, while O’Rahillys midfielder David Moran was awarded Man of the Match.

Final Score: Templenoe 0-14, Kerins O’Rahillys 0-15.

Garvey's SuperValu County Senior Football Championship Match Report, Templenoe V Mid Kerry

Garveys SuperValu County Senior Football Championship, Quarter Final.

Templenoe 0-11, Mid Kerry 0-13.

Templenoe narrowly missed out on a semi-final spot after Mid Kerry finished the stronger to reach the last four of this year’s county championship with just two points to spare. Templenoe, though still have the club championship final to look forward to and despite coming up short will take plenty of positives out of this contest.

The game was played in a wet Fitzgerald stadium last Sunday and Templenoe were dealt the first blow, when it was announced beforehand that Captain Gavin Crowley would not be lining out due to injury. Eanna O’Connor opened the scoring with a free, before adding a 45 shortly after, with Mid Kerry dominating the early exchanges. Brian Crowley split the posts with Templenoe’s first attack five minutes in to get them off the mark. However, Mid Kerry remained in control and hit the next three points without reply to push them 0-01 to 0-05 ahead by the 18^th minute, with Keith Evans, Darren Houlihan and Kieran Dennehy all contributing. To their credit, Templenoe regrouped and came back strongly with Patrick Clifford, Stephen O’Sullivan (2) and Tadhg Morley with his left boot all hitting the target to bring them right back into this contest and tie the scores at 5 points apiece. But Mid Kerry had the last say in the first half with the ever reliable Eanna O’Connor converting a placed ball to give them a slender lead at the break.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-05, Mid Kerry 0-06.

Templenoe went on another scoring spree just after the restart with Tadhg Morley from his right boot this time, before Killian Spillane (2f) and Adrian Spillane put them three points to the good and complete a seven points turnaround by the 57^th minute. The score was now 0-09 to 0-06, Templenoe were motoring well at this stage and were unlucky not to add a further point when a long range effort from Stephen O’Sullivan dropped just short of going over the crossbar. The Mid Kerry management were reading the warning signs and reacted first by introducing Jack O’Connor at half time, then in the third quarter they brought in Gearoid Hassett and Ronan Murphy to try and stem the tide. Jack O’Connor and Fiachra Clifford raised two white flags for Mid Kerry, to reduce the margin to the minimum before Templenoe’s Colin Crowley showed good skill to evade the challenges of the defenders to make the score 0-10 to 0-08 after 45 minutes. However, the final quarter belonged to Mid Kerry, who outscored Templenoe by five points to one to swing the contest in their favour. Darren Houlihan and Fiachra Clifford impressed with two points each in this crucial period, while their other score came from Liam Carey. Aidan Crowley did put over an excellent free for Templenoe in between and in fairness, Templenoe fought bravely to the end with even keeper Mark looney joining the attack in search of a late goal, but Mid Kerry were not to be denied and held on for a two points win.

Final Score: Templenoe 0-11, Mid Kerry 0-13.

Scorers:

Templenoe: Stephen O’Sullivan 0-02 (1f), Tadhg Morley 0-02, Killian Spillane 0-02 (2f), Colin Crowley 0-01, Brian Crowley 0-01, Aidan Crowley 0-01, Patrick Clifford 0-01, Adrian Spillane 0-01.

Garvey's SuperValu County Senior Football Championship Match Report, Templenoe V Feale Rangers

Garveys SuperValu County Senior Football Championship, Group 4, Round 3.

Templenoe 0-10, Feale Rangers 1-14.

Despite losing out to an in form Feale Rangers by seven points, Templenoe are through to the County Championship quarter-final for the third year in a row, by virtue of South Kerry drawing with St Brendans in the other group match. A late Nathan O’Driscoll free for St Brendans was enough to draw that game and render the Templenoe, Feale Rangers result immaterial.

A large crowd came out to watch this round 3 game, which was played in dry conditions in Templenoe last Sunday. The hosts who took to the field without the services of Mark Looney, Patrick Clifford, Colin Crowley and Stephen O’Sullivan due to injury, held their own in the first half, until Feale Rangers Barry Mahony struck the game’s only goal shortly before the half time whistle. Aidan Crowley opened the scoring after he landed a 45 over the bar. Then Feale Rangers hit back with the next three scores on the trot courtesy of David Keane (f), Shane Stack and Sean Keane to give them the lead, which they would never surrender. Killian Spillane pulled one back for Templenoe, before Bryan Sweeney and Barry Mahony both split the posts to make the score 0-02 to 0-05 by the 15^th minute. The Spillane brothers, Adrian and Killian then linked up well, with the latter firing over two more scores, one of which was nearly a goal to reduce the margin to the minimum. Soon after opposing defenders Eddie Browne and Gavin Crowley traded scores, before Killian Spillane saw his goal bound shot denied by the visitor’s keeper Cathal Keane. A turnover by Feale Rangers inside their own half set up a counter attack that ultimately put Barry Mahony through one on one with Templenoe keeper Colm Breen and Mahony made no mistake with the finish. This put a bit of daylight between the sides, although credit to Templenoe they did reply with an Aidan Crowley point from play immediately after.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-06, Feale Rangers 1-06.

At the restart, Feale Rangers hit the ground running with a brace of points from Conor O’Keeffe and Martin Stack (2) to double their lead to six points. However, Templenoe responded in kind with county players Gavin Crowley, Adrian and Killian Spillane all stepping up to the plate with a point each to keep the hosts well in this game. Feale Rangers did have the upper hand throughout the contest, but at this stage it looked liked the game might be heading for a close finish, especially after Martin Stack and Aidan Crowley exchanged frees to make it 0-10 to 1-10 with 49 minutes played. Feale Rangers though had other ideas and pushed on to score the last four points of the game without reply from Cillian Trant, Barry Mahony and Martin Stack (2) to maintain their 100% record in the competition. To add to Templenoe’s woes they lost Adrian Spillane to injury late on. Yet, with news filtering through from Caherciveen that South Kerry could only manage a draw, Templenoe had already done enough in the earlier rounds to secure a quarter-final spot, which means Templenoe  have so far managed to reach the last eight in the County Championship every year since the club’s promotion to senior grade.

Final Score: Templenoe 0-10, Feale Rangers 1-14.

Scorers:

Feale Rangers: Barry Mahony 1-02, Martin Stack 0-05 (2f) (1m), David Keane 0-01, Shane Stack 0-01, Bryan Sweeney 0-01, Cillian Trant 0-01, Sean Keane 0-01, Eddie Browne 0-01, Conor O’Keeffe  0-01.
