Garvey’s County Senior Football Championship, Quarter-Final.
Templenoe 0-09, Dingle 1-16.
Templenoe bowed out of the county senior championship last Sunday in Fitzgerald Stadium after a powerful second half display from Dingle saw them safety through to the last four.
Templenoe started very well and had the first two scores of the contest courtesy of Killian Spillane and John Rice with a long-range effort. Dingle replied with Niall Geaney splitting the posts before John Rice put over a second point from distance. But Dingle were now starting to settle into the game and had three of the next four scores with two of their county players Paul Geaney (2) and Tom O’Sullivan reducing the margin to one point before the end of the first quarter. In between Mark Casey was on target with his effort for Templenoe. The score after 15 minutes of play was Templenoe 0-04, Dingle 0-03.
Soon after Paul Geaney levelled the scores, before his counterpart at the other end Killian Spillane fired over three points on the trot to put Templenoe three points ahead with 22 minutes played. Templenoe were good value for their lead at that stage and hopes were high that Templenoe could keep it going and be there or there abouts by the final whistle. However, it was Dingle who had the better finish to the first half with Dylan Geaney (2), Paul Geaney and Matthew Flaherty all chipping in to flip the lead in their favour just before the break. Templenoe did put together a few attacks in between but crucially they failed manufacture scores.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-07, Dingle 0-08.
At the restart Dingle immediately laid down a marker for the second half with Barry Dan O’Sullivan extending their lead with a white flag, before Paul Geaney added two more to put Dingle four points clear. Then Templenoe suffered a scare when Cathal Bambury fisted a dropped short free from Paul Geaney to the net, but the goal was disallowed after the referee adjudged that Bambury was in the square. Killian Spillane ended a 16 minutes scoring drought for Templenoe with a pointed free to keep Templenoe well in the contest. However, minutes later Templenoe would endure a double whammy that effectively put the game to bed by the end of the third quarter. The first of which was a goal for Dingle’s Paul Geaney that came about from a turnover and this time the goal stood despite protests as to whether the turnover in the lead up was legit. This made the score 0-08, 1-11. The second sucker punch came when Josh Crowley Holland was issued a second yellow card which reduce Templenoe to 14.
Killian Spillane did pull one score back with a pointed free but try as they might Templenoe never really looked getting a badly need goal to bring them back into the game. Instead, Dingle pushed on and comfortably closed the game out with Cathal Bambury, Tadhg Browne, Paul Geaney (2) and Niall Geaney all finding the range to book their spot in the county semi-final.
Final Score: Templenoe 0-09, Dingle 1-16.
Templenoe senior footballers are now finished for another year, so well done to all the players and management who have continued to do the club proud by reaching the last eight of the county championship for the fifth year in a row and staying up in the Division 2 which was a key objective. Templenoe were also very close to making to the semi-final stage of the County Club Championshipa and only narrowly missing out.

Garveys SuperValu County Senior Football Championship, Round 2.
Templenoe 1-16, Shannon Rangers 1-12 (AET).
Templenoe have qualified for the county championship senior quarter-final, after overcoming Shannon Rangers in an entertaining game that went all the ways to extra time. In doing so, Templenoe have maintained the club’s proud record of reaching the last eight of the county championship every year since Templenoe’s debut season in the county championship back in 2020.
The game was played on a dry afternoon at Fitzgerald Stadium last Sunday. Shannon Rangers started the brighter with Jack Kennelly (mark) and John Coolahan splitting the posts to get them off the mark. It took Templenoe a while to settle before their sharpshooter Killian Spillane put over two points from play either side of a Jack Kennelly white flag for the north Kerry side. This made it 0-02 to 0-03 in favour of the Rangers at the end of the first quarter.
Templenoe were the dominant side in the second quarter and they made it count with a brace of points from Kieran McCarthy, Gavin Crowley, Brian Crowley and John Rice. Then Templenoe almost had a goal when a diagonal ball across the goal from Colin Crowley was nearly fisted to the net from Killian Spillane only to be denied by Pa Carmody. Jack Kennelly pointed another free just before the break to leave two points between the sides at the interval.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-06, Shannon Rangers 0-04.
Shannon Rangers enjoyed a purple patch at the beginning of the second half. Four unanswered points from Dara Keane, Jason Foley, Jack Kennelly and Evan Boyle saw them re-take the lead by two before Killian Spillane cut the deficit to the minimum once more with a converted free. Then came the Templenoe goal in sweet move involving Josh Crowley Holland and Killian Spillane who put Tadhg Morley through on goal and Morley executed his shot perfectly giving Rangers keeper Pa Carmody no chance. Colin Crowley added another point immediately after to put Templenoe 1-08 to 0-08 ahead at the end of the third quarter.
Templenoe consolidated their lead with two more points from Brian Crowley and Killian Spillane to extend Templenoe’s lead to five points coming into the home stretch. Credit to Shannon Rangers they kept plugging away and they brought Templenoe’s lead back down to three points courtesy of two quick scores from Brendan O’Neill and Jack Kennelly. The announcement of 5 minutes injury time gave hope to the Rangers as Templenoe retreated to defend their lead. Then a high ball in from the north Kerry side broke kindly to Kevin Goulding and he fired home the equalizer to bring the game into extra-time. Templenoe did have one last chance to win the game in normal time, but a placed ball effort from Colin Crowley went narrowly wide of the posts.
Full Time Score: Templenoe 1-10, Shannon Rangers 1-10.
Buoyed by their injury time goal to draw the game at the end of normal time, Shannon Rangers duly got the first score in extra-time through Jack Kennelly. But Templenoe were having none of it and reignited with the next four points on the trot courtesy of Adrian Spillane, Brian Crowley (2) and well won and converted mark from Killian Spillane.
Extra-Time, Half Time Score: Templenoe 1-14, Shannon Rangers 1-11.
Shannon Rangers tried hard for a second goal by hitting a few probing balls in towards the Templenoe goal, but the Templenoe defence cleared their lines each time and went on to make sure of their hard earned win with two late points from Kieran McCarthy and Adrian Spillane either side of pointed free from Jack Kennelly.
Final Score (AET): Templenoe 1-16, Shannon Rangers 1-12.
Scorers:
Templenoe: Killian Spillane 0-05 (2f) (1m), Brian Crowley 0-04, Tadhg Morley 1-00, Kieran McCarthy 0-02, Adrian Spillane 0-02, Gavin Crowley 0-01, John Rice 0-01, Colin Crowley 0-01.

Garveys SuperValu County Senior Football Championship, Round 1.
Templenoe 0-11, Feale Rangers 0-10.
A strong second half display by Templenoe saw them edge out Feale Rangers by the minimum at Templenoe GAA Grounds on Sunday in round 1 of the county championship.
The game was played in ideal conditions with little or no breeze on a lovely September afternoon. The hosts were fast out the traps with two points on the board inside the first minute courtesy of Colin Crowley and Killian Spillane. Feale Rangers then started to get on top and countered with the in-form Cormac Dillon firing over two frees and one mark before Killian Spillane tied the scores again at the end of the first quarter with a free to make the score 0-03 apiece.
Templenoe found it difficult to penetrate a well organised Feale Rangers defence in the second quarter with three wides from three attempts. Feale Rangers meanwhile did manage to keep the scoreboard ticking over with Cormac Dillon (2) and Cormac Mulvihill putting the visitors three points to the goods before the break. Indeed, they could have had more only for their shooting to let them down a bit and they were also denied a goal when Templenoe keeper Mark Looney made a crucial save in the 17th minute.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-03, Feale Rangers 0-06.
Whatever got said in the Templenoe dressing room at half time had the desired effect with a much-improved display from the hosts in the second half. Killian Spillane made no mistake with two frees before adding a third from play between the 32nd and the 38th minute. However, Feale Rangers kept their noses in front with Cormac Dillon continuing his scoring spree with two more frees. Soon after Templenoe were awarded a penalty when Tadhg Morley made a great burst forward, before he was taken down inside the box. Up stepped Brian Crowley and he did strike his penalty well, but Feale Rangers keeper Jack Enright spread himself brilliantly to deflect his shot out for a 45. Aidan Crowley subsequently converted the 45 to make the score 0-07 to 0-08 approaching the end of the third quarter and it was all to play for.
Both sides made a number of substitutions in the final quarter, among them was John Spillane who make a welcome return to competitive action for Templenoe for the first time in three years. Templenoe kept up their intensity and made it count with four unanswered points between the 47th minute and the 55th minute with their scorer in chief Killian Spillane doing the business from both frees and play before Gavin Crowley scored their last point with a well executed effort. This put Templenoe three points ahead coming into the home stretch. A late surge from Feale Rangers saw them earn two more points through Jack McEilligott and Cormac Dillon, but the hosts held on to maintain their proud unbeaten first round record in the county senior championship since their debut season at this level in 2020.
Final Score: Templenoe 0-11, Feale Rangers 0-10.
Scorers:
Templenoe: Killian Spillane 0-08 (5f), Aidan Crowley 0-01 (1 ’45), Colin Crowley 0-01, Gavin Crowley 0-01.

Kerry Petroleum Senior Football Club Championship, Group 1, Round 3.
Kenmare Shamrocks 0-13, Templenoe 0-13.
A draw was enough to see Kenmare Shamrocks join Rathmore in the semi-final stages of the senior club championship by virtue of their head-to-head result against Spa who finished on the same amounts of points. For Templenoe it was case of so close and yet so far in this competition after two draws and one defeat by the narrowest of margins.
There was a very large crowd in attendance for this local derby game. Kenmare Shamrocks won the toss and opted to play into the town end for the first half. But it was Templenoe who shone brightest in the first quarter as they outscored the hosts by 0-01 to 0-05. Some slick play by the visitors saw them open the scoring with Gavin Crowley and Killian Spillane getting them off to a good start. Seanie O’Shea who was closely marked by Tadhg Morley throughout got Kenmare Shamrock’s sole score in the first quarter from a mark. The hosts were forced to make an early substitution after Tommy Cronin had to retire injured and he was replaced by Jack O’Sullivan. Templenoe meanwhile continued their lively start with Aidan Crowley from a 45, Killian Spillane from a free and Brian Crowley from play putting Templenoe four points to the good by the 16th minute.
The second quarter saw Kenmare Shamrocks come much more into the game, while Templenoe just didn’t quite click in the same period with their shooting letting them down. Four unanswered points from the hosts saw them get back level by the break courtesy of scores from Kevin O’Sullivan and Seanie O’Shea with three, two of which came from placed balls.
Half Time Score: Kenmare Shamrocks 0-05, Templenoe 0-05.
On resumption Templenoe pulled two points clear again with Killian Spillane thumping two frees over the bar. Kevin O’Sullivan replied with his second point of the day, but Templenoe with Killian Spillane continuing to cause problems for the Kenmare Shamrocks defence tagged on two more points soon after to open-up a three points gap for the visitors. Kenmare Shamrocks introduced Paul O’Connor to add a bit of experience to their attack and a point from David Hallissey did reduce the margin to two, but Templenoe substitute Patrick Clifford used his pace to good effect to hand pass the ball over the bar to make the score 0-07 to 0-10 by the end of the third quarter.
Kenmare Shamrocks had a good record of turning the contest in their favour against Templenoe down through the years and no-one was doubting their ability to turn this game. Three points from Dara O’Shea, Tommy O’Sullivan Atlantic and Sean O’Shea (f), either side of a Colin Crowley white flag for Templenoe saw the hosts reduce the margin to the minimum as the game entered the home stretch. Tom Murnane levelled the scoring with six minutes left to play and the excitement was palpable. John Rice traded scores with David Ciuciu to level the scores once more and then Ciuciu added another to put Kenmare Shamrocks in front for the first time. Time was fast running out for Templenoe who needed to win this game to have any hope of qualifying, but they just couldn’t find a path to goal and ultimately to had to settle for a draw with Killian Spillane levelling the scores at the death.
Final Score: Kenmare Shamrocks 0-13, Templenoe 0-13.
Scorers:
Kenmare Shamrocks: Seanie O’Shea 0-05 (3f) (1m), David Ciuciu 0-02, Kevin O’Sullivan 0-02, David Hallissey 0-01, Dara O’Shea 0-01, Tommy O’Sullivan (Atlantic) 0-01, Tom Murnane 0-01.

Kerry Petroleum Senior Football Club Championship, Group 1, Round 2.
Templenoe 1-11, Rathmore 2-09.
Rathmore have made it through to the semi-final stages of the senior club championship after they withstood a late rally from Templenoe to win by the narrowest of margins at Templenone GAA Grounds on Sunday.
There was a large crowd in attendance for this game. Templenoe had wind advantage for the first half and immediately opened the scoring with a pointed free from Killian Spillane. A few minutes later a counter-attack from Rathmore ended with Andrew Moynihan rising highest to fist the ball to the net after a precision pass across the square from John Moynihan. Killian Spillane replied with another pointed free for Templenoe, but then the hosts suffered a second sucker punch when John Moynihan got goal number 2 for Rathmore, after he finished the ball soccer style to the net. Two minutes later a long range point effort from Adrian Spillane dropped just short with a combination of the goalkeeper and the crossbar keeping it out, but then the vigilant Josh Crowley who kept following the ball in was rewarded when he reacted fastest to palm the ball to the net. Templenoe subsequently added a point from play from Killian Spillane to make the score all square Templenoe 1-03, Rathmore 2-00 at the end of the first quarter.
A purple patch from Rathmore between the 17th minute and 23rd minute saw them hit four unanswered points, with Shane Ryan (2), James Darmody and Fionn Murphy all contributing. It could have been more only for Templenoe keeper Mark Looney to pull off a superb save from Shane Ryan. To their credit Templenoe finished the first half well, with Aidan Crowley from a 45 and Killian Spillane (2) reducing the margin to the minimum once more. However, Templenoe would ultimately regret their six wides tally in the first half, while Rathmore only hit one wide against the wind.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 1-06, Rathmore 2-04.
The third quarter saw Rathmore outscore Templenoe by three points to one, with James Darmody, Shane Ryan (f) and Ciaran Collins all splitting the posts to really put it upto the hosts. In between Adrian Spillane had a goal bound effort cleared from the line, but they did pull one point back with Killian Spillane thumping over a placed ball to make the score 1-07 to 2-07 at the end of the third quarter.
There was still plenty of time, but Templenoe just seemed to be a little over-anxious at times in the second half and had possession turned over on numerous occasions as a result. Nonetheless, no one could question their resolve and two points in quick succession from Adrian Spillane and Aidan Crowley put just one point between the sides with 10 minutes of normal time remaining. Soon after Shane Ryan nailed another free for the visitors, but then was a break in play after an injury to the unfortunate James Darmody of Rathmore, who to be taken off the field on a stretcher. A point from Cathal Ryan three minutes into injury time, looked to have sealed the deal for Rathmore, but Templenoe were not finished and they so nearly had a goal when Sean Sheehan got the ball in a great position only to pull his side wide of the posts. Two pointed frees followed from Killian Spillane which gave Templenoe hope that they could still salvage a result from this game, but it was not to be as Rathmore won possession of the last kick out with that the referee blew for full time.
Final Score: Templenoe 1-11, Rathmore 2-09.
Scorers:
Templenoe: Killian Spillane 0-08 (6f), Josh Crowley Holland 1-00, Aidan Crowley 0-02 (1 “45”), Adrian Spillane 0-01.

County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 11.
Templenoe 0-10, Castleisland Desmonds 1-08.
Templenoe ended their county league campaign with a home defeat to Castleisland Desmonds last Sunday. The hosts went into this contest safe in the knowledge that their place in Division 2 for next year was already assured, but a crucial goal from Desmonds Luke Curtin early in the second half ultimately denied Templenoe from finishing on a high note.
Templenoe had wind advantage for the first half which was evenly fought with the sides level at 0-03 apiece after 18 minutes of play. The Templenoe scores came courtesy of Aidan Crowley, John Rice and Gavin Crowley, while Castleisland Desmonds replied each time with points from Steven Barlett (f), Shane O’Connell and Adam O’Donoghue (f).
The second quarter was more of the same with both sides matching each other point for point right up to the interval. Castleisland took the lead for the first time in the 21st minute through another Steven Bartlett free, but the hosts replied with a brace of points from Josh Crowley Holland with one from a placed ball, and one from play. The closing minutes of the first half saw PJ Curtin and Denis O’Connor trade scores with Aidan Crowley.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-06, Castleisland Desmonds 0-06.
On resumption, Desmonds rocked Templenoe with 1-01 within three minutes of the restart to put a bit of daylight between the sides for the first time. The goal came from Luke Curtin following a counterattack with Templenoe found wanting at the back, which was preceded by a pointed free from Adam O’Donoghue. Templenoe narrowed the deficit to two points by the end of the third quarter with Aidan Crowley raising two white flags in a row to make the score 0-08 to 1-07.
Both sides made a few changes for the final quarter. Luka Brosnan kept Desmonds in the driving seat after he fisted the ball over the bar, but that would also be Desmonds last score. Templenoe were desperate to get something out of this game and they eventually reduced the arrears to one point after Josh Crowley Holland and Aidan Crowley planted two frees over the bar. Templenoe huffed and puffed but just couldn’t land the equalizer in the time remaining and were left to rue numerous missed chances on the day.
That said the main objective for Templenoe in this year’s county league campaign was not to get relegated to Division 3 and credit to our players and management they achieved just that. Templenoe have maintained our proud position in the top two divisions of the county league since 2015, which included 4 years operating in Division 1, so well done to all.
Final Score: Templenoe 0-10, Castleisland Desmonds 1-08.

Credit Union County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 9.
Beaufort 2-12, Templenoe 1-15.
Beaufort and Templenoe served up an entertaining encounter with an exciting finish that ended in a draw for the second year running at Beaufort GAA Grounds last Saturday evening.
The game was played on a beautiful evening with the slight breeze favouring Templenoe in the first half. Beaufort opened the scoring with a pointed free from Darragh O’Connor, Templenoe countered with a placed ball effort Colin Crowley. Then Beaufort tagged on two points on the trot from Fergal Hallissey (45) and Darragh O’Connor from play, while at the other end Templenoe hit four consecutive wides on a somewhat frustrating opening quarter for the visitors. But to their credit Templenoe did tie the scores by the end of the first quarter with Aidan Crowley pointing a 45 after Beaufort keeper Fionn O’Neill had made a great save from Brian Crowley and then Brian Crowley himself split the posts to make it 3 points apiece after 15 minutes.
Darragh O’Connor and Aidan Crowley both gave an exhibition of scoring for their respective teams throughout the game with both players finishing up with 7 points each. They traded scores to make it 5 points apiece after 25 minutes and then soon after the hosts scored their first goal of the game after they opened up the Templenoe defence in a move that ended with Ciaran Kennedy planting the ball in the net. Templenoe replied with points from Sean Sheehan, Josh Crowley Holland and Aidan Crowley for a strong finish to the first half, but Beaufort still had the edge at the break after Mark Neary and Fergal Hallissey with another 45 put them two points to the good.
Half Time Score: Beaufort 1-07, Templenoe 0-08.
On resumption Colin Crowley and Ríain O'Byrne with the latter calmly slotting over his first county league point traded scores with Padraig Doona and Darragh O’Connor to keep the margin at two points. However, then the visitors hit a purple patch to score 1-03 on the bounce and lead by 1-13 to 1-09 by the end of the third quarter. It looked like a surprise result might be on the cards and the hosts who are also the table toppers were stunned. The points came from John Rice and Aidan Crowley (2), while the goal came about after good work by Aidan Crowley saw him pass the ball across the square to the unmarked Colin Crowley who palmed the ball to the net.
Beaufort probed the Templenoe defence and a speculative ball in was gathered and the referee adjudged that the Beaufort attacker was held up illegitimately by the Templenoe defence. A penalty resulted and up stepped Ronan Murphy who make no mistake with the finish. Templenoe were still just about in front, but there was still 12 minutes remaining. Points from Brian Crowley and Aidan Crowley had Templenoe two points ahead with just four minutes left, but Beaufort are not top of the table for no reason and they grinded out two late points from their sharpshooter Darragh O’Connor to earn a share of the spoils.

County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 8.
Templenoe 0-10, Glenbeigh-Glencar 1-11.
Templenoe hosted Glenbeigh-Glencar in round 8 of the county league last Sunday. A below par display by Templenoe saw them lose out to Glenbeigh-Glencar who gave a more assured performance on the day.
Templenoe had wind advantage for the first half and had an okay first quarter to lead by 0-03 to 0-01, with Brian Crowley from an acute angle, Martin Reilly and Colin Crowley (f) all contributing, while Glenbeigh-Glencar had their opening score from Keilen O’Sullivan. Then the visitors went level with two points on the trot – one through Colin McGillycuddy from a mark before Keilen O’Sullivan added his second point from play. Colin Crowley edged Templenoe ahead again with another placed ball in the 21st minute, but that would be Templenoe’s last score for the remainder of the first half. Templenoe did have chances to add to their tally, but they were inclined to cough up possession which was a bit of a feature throughout the game and they also hit a few wides. In contrast, the visitors were more cohesive and made better use of their possession when on the offensive to manufacture four more points before the break with Darran O’Sullivan proving he still had plenty in his locker and Liam Smith among their scorers.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-04, Glenbeigh-Glencar 0-07
On resumption, Colin Crowley slotted over another free for the hosts, but Glenbeigh replied with a sucker punch after they burst up the field in well worked team move involving Jack Brosnan and Darran O’Sullivan who passed across the square for Caolim Teahan to palm home for a simple finish. This extended the margin to five points but there was plenty of time for Templenoe to launch a fight back and in fairness to the hosts they did rally. Three points on the bounce from Daniel Crowley, Brian Crowley and Colin Crowley (f) saw Templenoe reduce the deficit to two points with the score reading 0-08 to 1-07 after 49 minutes of play. However, that was as close as Templenoe could get. Darran O’Sullivan put a bit of daylight between sides again soon after with two points in quick succession. Templenoe didn’t let Glenbeigh out of sight and stayed in touch with two Colin Crowley points either side of points from Rian O’Donovan and Caolim Teahan, but what the hosts really needed at that stage to rescue this game was a green flag and they just couldn’t pull it off.
Final Score: Templenoe 0-10, Glenbeigh-Glencar 1-11.
Scorers:
Templenoe: Colin Crowley 0-06 (5f), Brian Crowley 0-02, Martin Reilly 0-01, Daniel Crowley 0-01.
Glenbeigh-Glencar: Darran O’Sullivan 0-04 (1f), Caolim Teahan 1-01, Colin McGillycuddy 0-01 (1m), Keilen O’Sullivan 0-02, Liam Smith 0-01, Rian O’Donovan 0-01.
