County Intermediate Football Championship, Round 1.

Templenoe 3-12, Spa 1-16.

Fr Breen Park Kenmare was the venue for this eagerly awaited clash between the top two ranked teams in the group. The match was played before a large crowd on a fine afternoon for football last Sunday and the game did not disappoint with only two points separating the sides in the end, after a high scoring contest.

Spa who lined out minus the services of inter county player Dara Moynihan due to injury, had the better of exchanges in the first quarter. The Killarney side were dominating around the middle of the field and were using their wind advantage well. Three pointed frees from Michael O’Donoghue along with a point from play Evan Cronin put Spa ahead by 0-4 to 0-2 after 13 minutes, with the Templenoe scores coming from Adrian Spillane and Teddy Doyle (free). Then a great three minutes spell from Spa saw them strike 1-2 without reply. The Spa goal came via a route one ball into the square that was palmed into the net by Andrew Garnett after he rose above the Templenoe defence. Niall McCarthy and David Spillane got points either side of the goal to extend the Spa lead to seven points. However, Templenoe did rally late in the half and goal from Adrian Spillane after good work by Brian Crowley brought them right back into the game. The goal was preceded by an exchange of scores from Stephen O’Sullivan and Evan Cronin and then just before the interval Brian Crowley saw his goal-bound effort cancelled out by Dan O’Donoghue to maintain the East Kerry’s side’s four points advantage.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 1-4, Spa 1-8.

Templenoe hit the ground running in the second half with four unanswered points all coming from the boot of Killian Spillane levelling the scores just three minutes into the second half. Then came the Templenoe goal that put them in front for the first time to give Templenoe a lead they would not relinquish. The goal stemmed from a high ball into the full forward line that Killian Spillane broke down to Stephen O’Sullivan who dispatched his shot beautifully to the net. The same player went on to increase Templenoe’s lead to four points, to which Spa replied with Niall McCarthy clipping his effort over the bar. Although Killian Spillane did land over another free for Templenoe, Spa upped their game again to hit three points without reply, with Liam Kearney, Evan Cronin and Michael O’Donoghue all finding the range to put just the minimum between the sides. Soon after Killian Spillane traded frees with Michael O’Donoghue, before a perfect ball in from Gavin Crowley ended with Cian Hallissey getting in for Templenoe’s third goal to put them 3-11 to 1-13 ahead with just six minutes of normal time remaining. Templenoe followed this up with a placed ball effort from Teddy Doyle that sailed all the ways over the bar from over 45 yards out. In the remaining minutes Spa threw everything at Templenoe and three pointed frees in a row from Michael O’Donoghue reduced the deficit to three points to set up a grand stand finish. Then three minutes into injury time Spa wing forward Ryan O’Carroll looked to be through on goal, but this finish went right of the posts. In end Templenoe despite losing Cian Hallissey late on to a second yellow card, held on for a crucial win.

County Intermediate Football Championship, Round 3.

Templenoe 1-14, Glenbeigh/Glencar 3-07.

An injury time point by Stephen O’Sullivan just shaded the win Templenoe in an exciting encounter, that could have gone either way. Templenoe now progress to the Semi Final of the competition with much relief after been pushed to the pin of their collar by a gallant Glenbeigh/Glencar side.

The match was played before a large crowd on a glorious evening last Saturday. Glenbeigh/Glencar opted to play with the slight breeze in the first half and they opened the scoring with a pointed free from Tommy Cahill. Templenoe countered this with Killian Spillane (2) and Patrick Clifford both splitting the posts to put the home side two points in front. Then came the first goal of the game, which stemmed from a route one ball into the square from Fergal Griffin that was neatly gathered by Gavin O’Grady before turning and slotting the ball to the net. Templenoe immediately responded with a hard earned point from Killian Spillane, after he combined with Josh Crowley Holland to tie up the scores again. The ebb and flow nature of the first half continued with Gavin O’Grady and Tommy Cahill exchanging scores with Brian Crowley (2) to make the score 0-6 to 1-3 after 27 minutes of play. In between, Caolim Teahan almost got a second goal for Glenbeigh/Glencar, but his effort struck the crossbar. Soon after Templenoe lost Patrick Clifford to a black card, but matters got worse for the hosts when Darran O’Sullivan found Gavin O’Grady with another long ball, before the latter unleased an extraordinary shot to the top corner of the net for a truly awesome finish. This put the visitors four points ahead, before once again Templenoe sharp shooter Killian Spillane replied with another effort from play. Then just before the break, the visitors suffered a big setback of their own, when wing back Jack Brosnan picked up a second yellow card to reduce Glenbeigh/Glencar to 14 players for the second half.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-07, Glenbeigh/Glencar 2-04.

Templenoe had the perfect start to the second half with Adrian Spillane sprinting up the field to pop the ball over the bar just seconds from throw in. In the next eight minutes, both sides were guilty of wides, while Glenbeigh/Glencar went on to lose another player, this time to the black card rule with their other wing back Stephen O’Sullivan falling victim. Nevertheless, the away side kept up their intensity levels and two pointed frees from Tommy Cahill put the away side 2-6 to 0-9 ahead midway through the second half, with Templenoe’s ninth point coming courtesy of Brian Crowley. The final quarter was real edge of the seat stuff with Brian Crowley and Gavin O’Grady trading scores, before Caolim Teahen cut in from the right corner to give a precision pass across the Templenoe goal that was finished home by Tommy Cahill for Glenbeigh/Glencar’s third goal. To their credit Templenoe did not drop their heads, despite been six points down with only ten minutes of normal time remaining. Their comeback started with a placed ball effort from Stephen O’Sullivan, before Killian Spillane set up Teddy Doyle for a well taken goal, to put just two points between the sides. The visitors came very close to getting yet another goal in the 55^th minutes, but fortunately the home side just about managed to divert Gavin O’Grady’s effort out for a 45, to deny him a hat trick. Glenbeigh/Glencar failed to manufacture a score from the resultant 45 and Templenoe’s resilience was eventually rewarded when Killian Spillane and Stephen O’Sullivan both thumped over frees to level the scores at the end of normal time. Then in injury time, Sean Sheehan did brilliantly to turnover possession from a Glenbeigh/Glencar attack, before John Spillane and Tadgh Morley linked up to put Stephen O’Sullivan through for the match winning point.

County Intermediate Football Championship, Round 2.

Laune Rangers 0-07, Templenoe 5-13.

Templenoe had a comprehensive win over Laune Rangers at JP O’Sullivan Park Killorglin, last Saturday evening. This result puts Templenoe in pole position going into the final round of group games next weekend.

The match was played in wet and windy conditions and while the home side had the aid of the very strong breeze in the first half, Laune Rangers failed to make this advantage count. Templenoe were in complete control of proceedings right from the start and goals from Sean Sheehan and Stephen O’Sullivan along with a point from play by Killian Spillane put the visitors 2-1 to 0-0 ahead after just four minutes of play. Patrick Clifford ventured up the field to extend Templenoe’s lead, before Laune Rangers finally got off the mark in the 17^th minute with two points on the trot courtesy of John Tyther and Daire Cleary. Killian Spillane and Shane McSweeney swapped scores, before the former paved the way for John Rice to fire home Templenoe’s third goal. Laune Rangers simply had no answer to Templenoe’s aerial dominance and slick movement of the ball and further good play from the away side resulted in Teddy Doyle, Brian Crowley and Adrian Spillane all adding their names to the score sheet. The best that Laune Rangers could manage in the same period was a brilliantly pointed free from out near the sideline from Fiachra Clifford, for one of their few highlights in the whole game.

Half Time Score: Laune Rangers 0-04, Templenoe 3-06.

The second half saw more of the same from Templenoe and a superbly taken goal from Stephen O’Sullivan in the opening minutes of the half, signalled the away side’s intent to keep their foot on the pedal. Killian Spillane and Adrian Spillane traded scores with Shane McSweeney (2) and Fiachra Clifford to make the score 4-8 to 0-7 after 40 minutes of play. However, Laune Rangers would not register another score for the remainder of the contest. Instead, Templenoe pushed on with further scores from Killian Spillane and Brian Crowley, before Stephen O’Sullivan completed his hat trick with Templenoe’s fifth goal in the 52nd minute. The one sided nature of the contest enabled both sides to use to a full complement of subs, as Templenoe proceeded to sign off on their win with Teddy Doyle and Brian Crowley both adding to their tallies.

Templenoe 3-20, Glenflesk 1-11

A top drawer performance by Templenoe saw them cruise to victory against Glenflesk in Fitzgerald Stadium last Sunday. Templenoe are now through to their third County Intermediate Football Final in four years, where they will face An Ghaeltacht in a repeat of the 2017 decider.The match was played in ideal conditions, with little or no breeze on lovely afternoon in Killarney. Templenoe got off to the best possible start with Adrian Spillane soloing straight through the Glenflesk defence to kick the ball past keeper Marc Kelleher for Templenoe’s first goal, after only 11 seconds of play. A brace of points from Killian Spillane (2) and Josh Crowley Holland extended Templenoe’s lead to six, before Glenfesk finally registered their first score through the boot of Jeff O’Donoghue in the 6^th minute. The East Kerry side almost followed this up with a goal, but a blistering shot from Daniel O’Brien came off the crossbar. Instead it was Templenoe who would go on to get the next goal of the game, courtesy of the on fire Killian Spillane, with Brian Crowley providing the assist. This put Templenoe 2-03 to 0-01 ahead after 13 minutes. Glenflesk responded well with two quick points from Ian Roche and Daniel O’Brien, but Templenoe hit back just as quickly with two scores of their own, thanks to Teddy Doyle and Brian Crowley. Then in a good three minutes spell for Glenflesk, they thumped over three unanswered points with Patrick Darcy, Jeff O’Donoghue (free) and Brian O’Donoghue all finding the range. This reduced the arrears to five points. However, the remaining 12 minutes belonged to Templenoe, as they continued to dominate around the middle of the field, ensuring a plentiful supply of ball going into the forwards, while their defence were resolute, conceding only one more point to Glenflesk’s Patrick Darcy before the interval. Templenoe’s great utilization of the wide open spaces in Fitzgerald Stadium, saw them tag on five more scores with Killian Spillane (2), Brian Crowley, Stephen O’Sullivan and Cian Hallissey all contributing to give them a commanding lead at the break.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 2-10, Glenflesk 0-07.

Templenoe remained determined and focused coming out for the second half and they immediately demonstrated their intent with Killian Spillane, Brian Crowley and Josh Crowley Holland all splitting the posts to increase their advantage. Then in the 37^th minute, against the run of play Glenflesk launched an attack that ended with Patrick Darcy finding the net after good work by Shane Courtney. Soon after Sean Doherty added a point to give the East Kerry side a glimmer of hope, but Templenoe were having none of it, as they proceeded to turn the screw. Four points on the trot from Adrian Spillane, Brian Crowley, Teddy Doyle and Killian Spillane, preceded Templenoe’s third goal of the day. Their third green flag came about after Killian Spillane put his cousin Pat Spillane through on goal, Pat Jnr still had much to do as he was surrounded by three Glenfesk defenders, but he somehow managed to get a shot in to deceive them all. This made the score 3-17 to 1-8 after 50 minutes of play. Gavin Crowley and Sean Sheehan were next to get their names on the score sheet for the boys in blue, after they got in on the end of two more well worked attacks. Pat Spillane rounded off Templenoe’s superb display with a fine point, after he received a pass from John Rice. While Glenflesk had to settle for three late points from Jeff O’Donoghue, Patrick Darcy and Kieran Murphy on a tough day at the office for them, but nevertheless they are good young side and are likely be in contention again next year.

So a big week ahead for the club, with Templenoe earning another shot at winning the club’s first ever Intermediate title, in what promises to be a fascinating contest in Austin Stack Park, next Sunday.Very best of luck to all our players and management in the final!
