Division1 County SFL, Dingle V Templenoe

Dingle 2-11, Templenoe 3-10.

Templenoe who were short a number of first team starters due to injury and county commitments, did not know what to expect when they travelled back to Dingle for round 4 of the County Senior Football League. They did find that Dingle were short a quantity of players also on a beautiful and warm June Bank Holiday weekend.

Dingle started the match with a bang and had scored a goal on the 1^st minute when Matthew Flaherty picked up on a rebounding ball to finish to the net. The breeze during the match blew across field and did little to help either teams. Templenoe settled into the match much quicker and some great attacking play from the inside forward line brought them right back into the match. After two pointed frees, a Pat Spillane long pass found Stephen O’Sullivan who turned his man and kicked a great goal. Soon after Stephen followed this up with a great point on the run. On the 10 minute mark, Templenoe were leading on a score of 1-03 to 1-00.

Liam Brosnan kicked the first point from the home team to start a good 10 minute period of pressure. Soon after a foul by Josh Holland resulted in a black card, and the resulting free was pointed. They followed up with another two pointed frees. The last 5 minutes of the half witnessed two points by Templenoe. Sean Sheehan and Stephen O’Sullivan were the scorers, but the visitors had passed up on a few further opportunities for goals.

The 2^nd half opened up in the same fashion as the 1^st with a goal at the dressing room end. This time it was a Templenoe goal, and a great turn and run at goal by Killian Spillane made space for Stephen O’Sullivan to volley the pass to the net. This was exactly what Templenoe needed, as the next ten minutes saw Dingle peg back the Templenoe lead. Brendan Kelleher kicked two points in a row (1 free) in that period and was collecting a lot of breaks around midfield for the home side. A further point from Cathal Bambury reduced the arrears to a single point, but a rare Templenoe attack saw a great one handed catch by Sean Sheehan, who passed to Pat Spillane and his long ball found Denis O’Neill who scored a great goal. This brought more breathing space for Templenoe with 20 minutes left in the match.

Barry O’Sullivan responded with a quick point for Dingle, and soon after a defensive mix up by the visitors put Cathal Bambury through who scored a goal to tie up the game on a score of Dingle 2-08, Templenoe 3-05. A free by Liam Brosnan put Dingle ahead, but Templenoe responded with a monster point from Adrian Spillane from out on the right wing. Dingle again attacked but this were turned over near the Templenoe goal, and somehow Mike Hallissey worked the ball out to midfield through a forest of players. The ball fell to Pat Spillane who kicked Templenoe back into the lead with a point.

Two errors by Dingle yielded further points for Templenoe. One was a line ball from a kick out that Stephen O’Sullivan pointed from the resulting attack, and the other was a pass out of defence that was pounced on by Sean Sheehan to kick a point. Denis O’Neill further extended Templenoe’s lead to four points with a point from play.

The final two scores came the way of the home side, but despite pressurizing for a goal, Templenoe did not give up any obvious opportunities and emerged victorious on a score of Dingle 2-11, Templenoe 3-10.

Templenoe 0-12, Milltown/Castlemaine 0-12

An injury time free from Jonathan O’Sullivan earned Milltown Castlemaine a share of the spoils, in an entertaining game played in damp conditions in Templenoe last Saturday evening.

Milltown Castlemaine opened the scoring with 2 converted frees from Jonathan O’Sullivan. Killian Spillane replied with a free for Templenoe, before the visitors extended their lead with 3 unanswered points all from the boot of Jonathan O’Sullivan. Templenoe almost had a goal when Denis O’Neill broke through the defence, but his shot went narrowly wide. The same player immediately got a point with his next possession. Then Jonathan O’Sullivan and Killian Spillane traded scores from frees, before Sean Sheehan raised a white flag with a good effort on the run. Stephen O’Sullivan reduced the deficit further with a pointed free, after Killian Spillane was fouled. Milltown Castlemaine hit back with 2 frees through the unerring accuracy of Jonathan O’Sullivan. Templenoe had the last say in the half with Killian Spillane hitting the target to leave the score at the interval: Templenoe 0-6 Milltown Castlemaine 0-8

Both teams were slow to settle initially in the 2^nd half. Then 7 minutes in Teddy Doyle landed a 45 over the bar. After this, Templenoe hit a purple patch and went on to get scores from Sean Sheehan and Josh Holland, before corner back Joseph Sheehan put the home side in front for the first time. Templenoe extended their advantage with a good point from Pat Spillane after he was put through by his cousin John Spillane. However the visitors held their composure and replied with a well taken score from a Shane Murphy, before Jonathan O’Sullivan added a free to level the scores to set up an exciting finish. With time almost up Danny Cahalane hit the target with a great effort from the right wing. Despite Templenoe’s best efforts to close out the game, Milltown Castlemaine earned a free from 45 yards out, which was calmly slotted over the bar by Jonathan O’Sullivan to give them the equalizer!

Templenoe 1-14, Glenbeigh/Glencar 0-12

Templenoe hosted Glenbeigh /Glencar in round 6 of the county league, in what was also a repeat of last year’s County Junior Championship final. Both sides served up an enthralling contest despite the wet conditions, with the lead changing hands on numerous occasions, before Templenoe eventually gained control with a strong finish.

The game started with Stephen O’Sullivan (free) and Colin McGillycuddy exchanging scores. Then the home side were dealt a blow, losing corner back Joseph Sheehan who had to be stretchered off, after he picked up a leg injury. When play resumed Colin McGillycuddy added a second point to put the visitors ahead, but this was replied to with 2 points from the boot of Stephen O’Sullivan. Gavin O’Grady and Templenoe veteran Shane Cremin traded scores, before Colin McGillcuddy hit the target to restore the advantage for the Mid -Kerry side. Teddy Doyle and Stephen O’Sullivan split the posts for Templenoe, who almost had a goal, when Pat Spillane had an effort well saved by keeper Rory O’Connor. Gavin O’Grady hit 2 well struck frees from the ground put to Glenbeigh/Glencar ahead once more, before Templenoe responded with Pat Spillane and Teddy Doyle raising white flags. The away side had the final say in the half with a well taken point from their centre forward Tommy Cahill to make the score at the interval Templenoe 0-8, Glenbeigh 0-8.

The first 10 mins of the 2^nd half saw Glenbeigh /Glencar’s Daniel Griffin and Gavin O’Grady (free) swapping scores with Templenoe’s John Spillane and Stephen O’Sullivan. The latter then put Templenoe ahead with a point from close range, before Danny Cahalane extended the home side’s lead with a great score from the wing. More excitement was to follow, with Templenoe sub Martin Reilly receiving a black card, as Glenbeigh/Glencar worked their way up the field to grind out a point from Daniel Griffin. Another pointed free from Stephen O’Sullivan was replied to by Gavin O’Grady who converted a placed ball from a tight angle to keep the game on a knife edge. However, in the closing minutes Templenoe steadied the ship with free from Stephen O’Sullivan, before Kerry Junior star Adrian Spillane rounded off proceedings with a brilliant goal giving keeper Rory O’Connor no chance.

Final Score: Templenoe 1-14, Glenbeigh Glencar 0-12

Kilcummin 0-14, Templenoe 0-11.

Templenoe suffered their first loss of their league campaign, when they took on a very determined Kilcummin outfit on a dry but breezy Saturday evening in Kilcummin GAA Grounds.

The visitors, who were short a quantity of players due to injury, started the match in a promising fashion, and by the 7^th minute Pat Spillane had kicked a hat trick of points from play. They were playing with the breeze and were initially causing Kilcummin problems. From the 10^th minute onwards, Kilcummin came strongly into their game and through strong midfield play and quick attacks up the centre of the field, they started to pick off their scores. Full forward Kevin McCarthy was very involved and in the twenty minute period up until before half time he kicked 0-05 (0-03 frees). With Daniel O’ Leary, Richie O’Connor and Shane McSweeney adding to the score sheet, Kilcummin had built up a commanding lead approaching the interval.

Templenoe did halt the slide in the last few minutes, and a determined run by Adrian Spillane yielded a free which was pointed by Killian Spillane. Kilcummin Midfielder Kevin Gorman was black carded for this offence. The half time score was Kilcummin 0-09, Templenoe 0-04.

Templenoe came charging out of the blocks for the 2^nd half and kicked a point straight from the throw in through Killian Spillane. Within five minutes, they had reduced the arrears with a further three points from Killian Spillane (0-02 frees). Richie O’Connor pointed on the 36^th minute to calm Kilcummin nerves, and they soon followed up with another point from play. For the last twenty minutes, scores in the game were hard earned. Templenoe worked a great goal scoring opportunity, but Sean Sheehan blazed it over the bar. Soon after Templenoe had a goal disallowed due to a push in the square.

A Killian Spillane free reduced the arrears to the minimum with 15 minutes remaining. Kilcummin 0-11, Templenoe 0-10. Kilcummin added to their tally with a point from Mikey O’Shea, but soon after had a let off, when Killian Spillane’s low shot when through on goal, hit the base of the upright and rebounded to safety. The remaining five minutes of the match saw two more points from the home team from the boots of Philip Casey and Shane McSweeney to leave Kilcummin the winners on a score of Kilcummin 0-14, Templenoe 0-11.
