Credit Union County SFL Match Report, Templenoe V Glenbeigh / Glencar
County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 5.
Templenoe 1-07, Glenbeigh-Glencar 0-15
The Templenoe senior footballers suffered their first defeat in 2023 at the hands of Glenbeigh-Glencar in Templenoe last Saturday evening. It was lacklustre display by Templenoe on the night against a much hungrier Glenbeigh-Glencar side determined to reverse the result of the corresponding fixture from last year.
On fine evening for football, the hosts actually started well and raced into a 0-03 to 0-00 lead after seven minutes, with two placed balled from Stephen O’Sullivan and Aidan Crowley, before the latter put over another from play from a tight angle. Glenbeigh-Glencar responded with Caolim Teahan (f) and Gavan O’Grady (f) both splitting the posts. Then great work by Sean Sheehan put through Stephen O’Sullivan on goal and he did everything right only to see his effort come off the base of the post. It was a let off to the visitors, who despite this were coming more and more into the game. Two points from Liam Smith and Gavin O’Grady (f) saw Glenbeigh-Glencar take the lead for the first time to make the score 0-03 to 0-04 after 15 minutes. Both sides exchanged a few wides, before Templenoe wing back Ciaran Crowley showed great confidence to take on the Glenbeigh-Glencar defence before rifling the ball to the net for a well taken goal. However, the visitors regrouped quickly and responded admirably with three unanswered points to retake the lead courtesy of scores from Caolim Teahan (2) and Gavan O’Grady. Templenoe were struggling to ignite but did get the final score of the half through a converted free from Stephen O’Sullivan.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 1-04, Glenbeigh-Glencar 0-07
The third quarter saw Glenbeigh-Glencar hit the ground running and blitz Templenoe with seven points on the trot, with Jack Brosnan, Gavan O’Grady (5) and Darran O’Sullivan all contributing. In between, the visitors also nearly had goal, but were denied by a great Mark Looney save. Also, worth mentioning that the Glenbeigh-Glencar shooting throughout was very good, they only hit four wides, while Templenoe had six with less possession. The hosts did have a brief respite midway through the second half with Stephen O’Sullivan and Patrick Clifford both finding the target to make the score 1-06 to 0-14. However, a comeback never looked likely, with Glenbeigh-Glencar very organised getting plenty of bodies back when on the defensive and as a result Templenoe were unable to work an opening for much needed goal to bring them back into the game. Glenbeigh-Glencar closed out the contest with another Gavin O’Grady score to cap a fine performance with his ninth score of the evening, while Aidan Crowley thumped over a free for Templenoe’s last score.

Credit Union County SFL Match Report, Beaufort V Templenoe
Credit Union County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 4.
Beaufort 0-14, Templenoe 2-08.
An equalizing point from Killian Spillane shortly before the full-time whistle, saw Templenoe maintain their unbeaten run as do Beaufort in this year’s county league with four rounds played. It was absorbing game of football, played in ideal conditions at Beaufort GAA Grounds last Sunday, with no less than four Kerry senior panelists featuring, Mike Breen for Beaufort, Adrian Spillane, Gavin Crowley, and Killian Spillane (second half) for Templenoe.
Beaufort opened the scoring through their sharpshooter Liam Carey. However, two minutes later Templenoe had the ball in the net, when a high ball in was gathered by Aidan Crowley who offloaded to his brother Daniel for a well-executed goal. Templenoe quickly built on this with Stephen O’Sullivan and two scores on the trot from Adrian Spillane extending the visitors lead to five points 8 minutes in. Beaufort did create goal chances in the first half too but were denied by a block from Sean Sheehan for one of their chances, while Mark Looney spread himself well to prevent Fergal Hallissey rattling the net on another occasion. Nonetheless, four unanswered points from the hosts between the 10th minute and the 19th minute courtesy of Fergal Hallissey (2f), Liam Carey and a point from a mark through Darragh O’Connor saw Beaufort reduce the arrears to just the minimum, with the scoreboard reading 0-05 to 1-03 after 19 minutes of action. Templenoe rallied again with Patrick Clifford next to raise a white flag after he wisely hand passed the ball over the bar. Then came the visitors second goal of the day, in a move that stemmed from a perfect ball in from Gavin Crowley to Adrian Spillane who had only one thing on his mind and made no mistake with his finish. Beaufort refused to let their heads drop though and responded well with Danny Healy and Liam Carey both splitting the posts to keep the contest well alive at the break.
Half Time Score: Beaufort 0-07, Templenoe 2-04.
Templenoe had a trick up their sleeve with Killian Spillane introduced for the second half and he was less than a minute on the field before he got his name on the scoresheet with a pointed free. Colin Crowley added another soon after to put Templenoe five points to the good again. But the hosts battled their way back into it once more with Liam Carey and two placed balls from Fergal Hallissey reducing the margin to two points to make the score 0-10 to 2-06 after 42 minutes. Both sides were going all out for it now and Beaufort keeper Sean Coffey made two good stops with his long reach to pull down two Templenoe efforts that appeared to be going over the crossbar. Killian Spillane traded scores with fellow Kerry panelist Mike Breen, before Beaufort substitute Jack O’Connor reduced the margin to just one point with nine minutes left to play. Then coming into the home stretch Liam Carey with his fifth point of the game, followed by another from Jack O’Connor looked like snatching this game for Beaufort. However Killian Spillane proved how crucial his presence was when he took on responsibility to get hold of possession near the end line and fire over the equalizing point on the stroke of full time.
Final Score: Beaufort 0-14, Templenoe 2-08.
Scorers:
Beaufort: Liam Carey 0-05, Fergal Hallissey 0-04 (4f), Jack O’Connor 0-02, Mike Breen 0-01, Danny Healy 0-01, Darragh O’Connor 0-01 (1m).

McCarthys Insurance Group South Kerry League Final Match Report
McCarthy Insurance Group South Kerry Senior Football League Final:
Templenoe 1-05, Waterville 0-07.
Templenoe are South Kerry league champions for 2023 following a narrow one-point victory over Waterville at a wet and windy Valentia last Saturday. This is Templenoe’s second South Kerry senior league title since the club first entered this competition back in 1998.
Despite the unfavourable weather conditions, there was still a good turn out to witness this final. The fact that both teams could only manage one point each when playing into the strong breeze, underlines just how much of an impact the weather conditions had on this game. Templenoe were the more wasteful of the two sides with eleven wides while Waterville had a total of four wides.
Templenoe had the wind advantage for the first half and got their first score three minutes in through Colin Crowley. A minute later Colin Crowley went one better when he got inside the Waterville defence before rounding the keeper and finishing the ball home. This goal was to prove crucial in the finish. Soon after Stephen O’Sullivan had another goal chance for Templenoe, but Waterville keeper Cillian O’Shea was equal to his effort. Templenoe were dominating but not capitalizing on the scoreboard as they would have liked. Though Stepen O’Sullivan did add another score from a mark to put Templenoe 1-02 to 0-00 ahead by the 13th minute. Barry Dwyer opened Waterville’s account with a well struck free from an angle and this would be their only score of the first half. The wides continued to mount for Templenoe in the second quarter, who ultimately had to settle for just two more scores before the break courtesy of a 45 from Aidan Crowley and a fine score from corner back Michael Hallissey.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 1-04, Waterville 0-01.
Kerry U20 panelist Mark Casey was introduced for Templenoe for the second half, but the question was the Templenoe lead enough of a foundation to withstand the likely Waterville fight back over the next half hour of football. The third quarter saw Waterville reduce the margin to just a goal courtesy of three points from Barry Dwyer, with two from frees and one from play. In between, Templenoe’s John Moriarty had a goal bound shot saved by Cillian O’Shea. Both sides squandered chances over the next few plays, before Barry Dwyer eventually added another point in the 52nd minute. The score was now 1-04 to 0-05. Templenoe needed a score to help steady the ship and finally after a gap of 29 minutes from their last score, Aidan Crowley kept his composure to slot over the side’s only score, but a very important one in the second half. Credit to Waterville they kept coming even after losing Cillian Clifford to a second yellow card and points from Barry Dwyer and Oran Clifford deep into injury time did bring the margin down to the minimum, but there was to be time for no more.
After the game the South Kerry League Cup was presented to Templenoe captain Joseph Sheehan. Congratulations to all our players and management on winning the club’s first bit of silverware since the Munster Intermediate Club title in December 2019, not forgetting the many famous wins Templenoe had in between and hopefully more to follow.
Final Score: Templenoe 1-05, Waterville 0-07.
Scorers:
Templenoe: Colin Crowley 1-01, Aidan Crowley 0-02 (1f) (1 45), Stephen O’Sullivan 0-01 (1m), Michael Hallissey 0-01.

Credit Union County SFL Match Report, Templenoe v St Mary's
County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 3.Templenoe 2-07, St Marys 0-12.
Templenoe hosted St Marys in round 3 of the county league. After a hard-fought game played in tough conditions, a Sean Sheehan point eight minutes into injury time just about shaded this contest for Templenoe. Templenoe had wind advantage for the first half, but it was the visitors who were first to register on the scoreboard courtesy of a point from Ben O’Donoghue. Templenoe replied with Tom Spillane and Aidan Crowley both splitting the posts. Then midway through the first half Colin Crowley looked to be through on goal only to be denied by a superb save by St Marys keeper Mike Daly. The resultant 45 went wide and soon after St Marys had two points on the trot one from play and one from a free through Sean Cournane to make it 0-02 to 0-03 after 20 minutes of play.
The hosts had been threatening for goal and they eventually got one when Stephen O’Sullivan combined with Daniel Crowley for the second week in a row, with the latter once again applying the finish by palming the ball to the net from close in. Stephen O’Sullivan followed this up two fine points of his own to put Templenoe four points to the good. Shortly before the half time break, Muiris Fitzgerald scored the first of his two points for St Marys and then Templenoe went close on goal again only for Sean Sheehan to pull his shot wide. The first half ended on a difficult note for the hosts with John Rice having to be carried off the field with a knee injury and we all wish John a speedy recovery.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 1-04, St Marys 0-04.
St Marys started the second half well with a pointed free from Anthony Cournane. The Cahersiveen men were wide with their next two attacks, but by the 37th minute they were on level terms thanks to Alex Coffey and Anthony Cournane (f) both finding the range. However, credit to Templenoe they regrouped and a white flag from Sean Sheehan helped settle the nerves and then Templenoe were awarded penalty after a foul in the square. Stephen O’Sullivan stepped up and duly put the ball in St Marys net. Minutes later young Ciaran Crowley popped up from defence to score his first point in the county senior league to put the hosts 2-06 to 0-07 ahead 47 minutes in.
It was looking good for Templenoe at this stage, but St Marys had other ideas. The visitors had a late surge that saw them reel in Templenoe’s lead point by point to draw level again by the 64th minute, with Muiris Fitzgerald, Alex Coffey, Declan Keating (2) and Anthony Cournane all contributing. It made for a frantic finished with Templenoe losing Daniel Crowley to a black card, but just when it looked like there would be time for no more Tempenoe’s Colin Crowley drew a free from about 45 metres out for which Ronan Clifford was dismissed. Aidan Crowley struck the free and appeared to have both the distance and the accuracy only to drop short at the last moment, but luckily for the hosts Sean Sheehan rose the highest to fist the ball over the bar to bag the hosts a full share of the spoils after yet another close ending.
Final Score: Templenoe 2-07, St Marys 0-12.
Scorers:
Templenoe: Stephen O’Sullivan 1-02 (1-00p), Daniel Crowley 1-00, Sean Sheehan 0-02,Aidan Crowley 0-01, Tom Spillane 0-01, Ciaran Crowley 0-01.
