County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 9.
An Ghaeltacht 3-15, Templenoe 0-10.
A depleted Templenoe made the long trip to Gallarus to take on An Ghaeltacht in round 9 of the county league. This was always going to be uphill struggle for Templenoe without the services of so many first team players, but they gave it their all against a formidable An Ghaeltacht side.
An Ghaeltacht had the assistance of the breeze for the first half. The hosts set the tone early and raced into a 0-07 to 0-01 lead by the end of the first quarter, with Dara Ó Sé their chief scorer in attack, while Templenoe’s solitary score in this period came from Danny Cahalane. The visitors did fare a bit better in front of the posts in the second quarter, but any faint hopes of an upset were well put to bed, when Dara Ó Sé and Tomás Ó Sé both found the net to give the West Kerry side a substantial lead at the break.
Half Time Score: An Ghaeltacht 2-11, Templenoe 0-05.
The second half afforded both sides the opportunity to empty their benches. Templenoe did bring down the deficit to 10 points at one stage in the second half, but that was as close as they could get. An Ghaeltacht substitute Gearóid Breathnach goaled late on to put a gloss on a comprehensive win for the hosts.
Final Score: An Ghaeltacht 3-15, Templenoe 0-10.
