AIB All Ireland Junior Football Final, Templenoe V Ardnaree Sarsfields
Templenoe reach promised land
Monday, February 08, 2016 By Daragh Ó Conchúir Taken from the Irish examiner
AIB All-Ireland JFC final - Templenoe (Kerry) 4-13 Ardnaree-Sarsfields (Mayo) 1-10:
A hat-trick of goals from Stephen O’Sullivan, allied with key contributions from Brian Crowley and the Spillane brothers, secured a famous victory for Templenoe in the AIB All-Ireland junior club final.
O’Sullivan struck in the 17th, 32nd, and 50th minutes to crush the Mayo challenge, though Crowley’s goal just before the interval was crucial, at a time when there were just three points between the sides.
That was despite the six-point contribution from Killian and Adrian Spillane — sons of former Kerry star Tom — with Killian in particular proving too hot to handle for the Ardnaree defenders.
Ardnaree captain, Eoin McCormack kept his side in touch from placed balls and substitute Ronan O’Malley had a goal within seconds of his 20th-minute introduction, as a seven-point gap was whittled down to two.
Killian Spillane made it three with a wonderful score though before Crowley had the simple task to finish to the net after a tremendous team move.
When O’Sullivan found the net for his second time early in the second half, there was no way back for Ardnaree. The westerners struggled to make any inroads on the Templenoe rearguard in the second half and O’Sullivan completed his hat-trick, when breaking a high ball down to Cian Hallissey, taking the return and slipping inside his marker before unleashing a low shot to the far corner.
Pat Spillane, son of the eight-time All-Ireland winner of the same name, was introduced and added a point, as did the excellent Crowley, and though the industrious Martin Rafter and McCormack raised white flags late on, the celebrations had already begun in stands.
“We started the year working hard and we said this was our last step,” said O’Sullivan. “We’d do it and we’d win it.
“We’re in the middle of nowhere. We have a rural population of less than 500. This is a special bunch of players and we knew if we put the work in, we’d keep going and we’d win the All-Ireland.”
Scorers for Templenoe:
S O’Sullivan 3-1; B Crowley 1-3; K Spillane 0-4(3fs); A Spillane 0-2; D Cahalane, P Spillane, T Doyle (45) 0-1 each.

Magic In The Air
MAGIC IN THE AIR, by Karen O'Mahony
I took a walk to Coss today, tis often times I do
Then I gazed out o'er the ocean for to spare a thought or two
And yes I saw its beauty...but this day could not compare
For there was something different. There was magic in the air.
The waves seemed to dance higher, a more vibrant shade of blue
And as they crashed onto the shore, they roared "Templenoe Abu!"
The sun seemed to shine brighter, gulls soared higher in the sky
And when the wind it howled at them, "COYBIB" was their reply.
I turned and walked back towards the pitch, tis often times I do
And stood before the empty stand, it's colours white and blue
The wind it whirled around empty seats that waited row by row
And joined by swallows overhead it howled "Come on Templenoe!!"
I walked up passed the graveyard, perched peacefully on the hill
Will our loved ones be at Crokers? Oh yes. I know they will.
They trained, and played and cheered too hard to miss out on this day
We'll hear their chanting in the wind..."Up Templenoe!!! they'll say.
I turned to walk the hill down home, tis often that I do
And I recalled the cheers down through the years for the lads in white and blue
I asked myself the question then "what sets this team apart"
Not only talent, skill and speed but this club has Drive and Heart.
So it's head to head, up in Croke Park, to battle Ardnaree
The young and old, ye must be told, they are all proud of ye
And I'd swear 'tis true, that the waves in Coss, are a more vibrant shade of blue
And as they crash onto the shore they roar "Templenoe Abu!!"
GOOD LUCK TEMPLENOE
