Acorn Life Club U21 Football Final

Kerins O’Rahillys 0-11 Templenoe 1-7

Kerins O’Rahillys were crowned county Under 21 Club football champions at a wet and windy Killarney Legion grounds at Direen on Saturday evening last following a one point victory over Templenoe before a large and enthusiastic attendance. It was a victory the Tralee side just about deserved following a game in which the marking was very tight throughout and during which the elements were certainly not conducive to good football.

Templenoe had first use of the strong wind that blew from one end of the field to the other, however Kerins O’Rahillys certainly held their own in the possession stakes for a great part of that first half. John C. O’Connor and Sean Walsh were in great form around the middle of the field and the likes of Jack Savage and Kieran O’Mahony were always dangerous up front. The sides were level on three points apiece at the end of the first quarter with Jack Savage accounting for the Rahillys points from frees and John Rice, Teddy Doyle and Patrick Clifford getting the Templenoe scores.

Kieran O’Mahony and Teddy Doyle exchanged points but as the half wore on Templenoe began to assert themselves and after wing back Patrick Clifford had the second of two fine points from play Killian Spillane picked out Cian Hallissey with a fine pass in the 25th minute and Hallissey gave Ciarán O’Connor in the O’Rahillys goal no chance from close range. Crucially, Jack Savage scored the final point of the half to leave the winners just 1-5 to 0-5 in arrears at the break with wind advantage to come.

Templenoe were dealt a crucial blow just on the call of half time when Gavin Crowley received an injury that prevented him from resuming and when Jack Savage (2) and Gavin O’Mahony pointed to level up the scores within six minutes of the resumption the omens did not look good for the Kenmare side. With a stranglehold around the middle third of the field, it was all Rahillys at this stage and further points from O’Mahony and John Ferguson had them leading by two at the three quarter stage.

However, improved play from the likes of Adrian Spillane, Patrick Clifford and Teddy Doyle saw Templenoe back in the game and when Killian Spillane pointed with ten to go just a point separated the sides. It was end to end stuff at this stage and Templenoe strung together some fine passing movements that they just failed to finish off . Kieran O’Mahony put daylight between the sides with his fourth point of the game in the 52nd minute but it was to be their last score of the game as Templenoe threw everything at the Tralee side with Brian Crowley blazing wide with a great chance and Adrian Spillane having two shots blocked down in the large square. Teddy Doyle had a fine point from a long distance free just before he was forced to leave the field with a serious injury, to reduce the deficit to the minimum once more but amid tremendous excitement O’Rahillys held on.

After the Game, Vice Chairman of the County Committee, Ger Galvin presented the Tom Naughton Cup to winning captain Kieran O’Mahony.

County Novice Final 2013, CHAMPIONS

CHAMPIONS

Templenoe 2-15, Listry 2-13

Castleisland Mart Novice Football Championship Final (Taken from www.kerrygaa.ie)

Templenoe 2-15 Listry 2-13

Templenoe are the County Novice Final winners following a fantastic final that ebbed and flowed from the start with fortunes changing at regular intervals.

We saw a frantic opening with each side scoring two points inside the opening four minutes of play and they both added points before Templenoe, and Brian Crowley in particular, grabbed the initiative with the eventual man of the match scoring four points without reply in a six minute spell to lead by 7 to 3 at the end of the first quarter.

Anthony Kennedy replied with a good point, and then sub Derry Ahern, who had just been introduced, finished to the net at the second attempt to level the game in the 18th minute. From the kick out the ball was in the net at the other end when a high ball from Teddy Doyle was punched to the net by Killian Spillane after a mistake by a Listry defender. The drama in this two minute spell was not over yet as quickly the ball was in the other half of the field and Derry Ahern again cut through the Templenoe defence for his second goal. Listry actually took the lead for the first time when Damien Clifford pointed in the 27th minute but Templenoe finished the half with two points of their own to lead by 1-10 to 2-6 at the break.

Listry resumed in determined mood kicking three unanswered points to retake the lead and for a while they seemed to be on top but then Cian Hallissey struck for a Templenoe goal after being set up initially by Teddy Doyle and when Killian Spillane pointed the winners were 2-11 to 2-9 ahead with twenty minutes still to go. The sides swapped points as the excitement grew and when Kieran Kennedy’s inspirational point left just a pint between the sides, a draw looked on the cards. John Spillane and Sean Lehane then traded points before Teddy Doyle’s massive drive from 65yards sailed over the bar for the insurance score for Templenoe.

The Hickey/Quirke Cup was presented to Templenoe captain Anthony Sheehan by Vice Chairman of the County Committee Ger Galvin.

The Man of the Match trophy was presented to Brian Crowley, who finished with six points from play by Jimmy Roche of Castleisland Co-Op Mart sponsors of the Competition.

Scorers:

Templenoe: Brian Crowley 0-6, Killian Spillane 1-2, Teddy Doyle 0-3, Cian Hallissey 1-0, Danny Cahillane, Denis O’Neill, Gavin Crowley and John Spillane 0-1 each.

Listry: Derry Ahern 2-0, Sean Lehane 0-6, Damien Clifford 0-5, Kieran Kennedy and Anthony Kennedy 0-1 each
