ANNASCAUL GAA

SENIORS: We kicked off our county league in great fashion over the weekend, recording a 2-9 to 1-11 win over Currow. Playing with the aid of a breeze, we took our time getting into the game, and scores were at a minimum in the opening quarter. Aidan and James Crean were excelling with the direct ball into our full forward line, with both getting on the score sheet. Currow refused to lie down however, and they kept in contact with scores of their own, despite the best efforts of Gareth O Donnell and David Clifford in the full back line. Long, high ball was used to good effect soon after, as Aidan Crean used his strength well to score two excellent goals in the space of five minutes. Knowing the wind was a major asset, we used it to good advantage to lead well at half time, 2-7 to 0-4. The second half was all Currow though, and they clawed their way back into the game and were only down a point with ten minutes remaining. Without a score in the second half at that stage, we were under extreme pressure, added to by Emmet Kennedy’s second yellow card. Still, we increased our work rate to compensate for the sending off and held out for a one point win. Best for us were Jason Hickson, Aidan and James Crean, and Shane Foley. TEAM: Tommy Pierce, David Clifford, Gareth O Donnell, James Scanlon, Colm Barry, Kenneth Quirke, Eamonn Hickson (0-2), Emmet Kennedy, Jason Hickson (0-1), Shane Foley, Michael Driscoll, James Crean (0-2), Aidan Crean, (2-4), Genie Farrell. SUBS USED: Keith Moynihan, Declan Lindsey.

We are playing John Mitchels on Saturday in the Intermediate Championship in Annascaul. Time to be confirmed. All support is greatly welcomed.

SENIORS: We lost out to Lispole over the weekend in our final West Kerry league game on a scoreline of 1-20 to 2-9. We started well, with Jonathon Deane finding the net to give us an early lead. Winning the breaking ball in the middle, we led by four points at the quarter way mark. Unfortunately, Lispole upped their work rate, cutting the supply of ball to our main scorers, Aidan Crean and Jonathon Deane. Despite David Clifford and Ger Farrelly’s best defending, we were down at half time by six points. The second half provided little respite for us, as Lispole found the net within minutes to give us a mountain to climb. And again despit of Emmet and Genie’s efforts,  we never got close enough to threaten Lispole after that. Best for us were Kenneth Quirke, Emmet Kennedy, Genie Farrell and Jonathon Deane. TEAM: Conor Guilfoyle, Paddy O Shea, Eamonn Hickson, David Clifford, Colm Barry, Daniel O Connell, Ger Farrelly, Emmet Kennedy, James Scanlon, Kenneth Quirke, Genie Farrell, Shane Foley, Aidan Crean, Jonathon Deane, Declan Lindsey.

ANNASCAUL GAA

SENIORS: We took part in the Paidi O Sé tournament with mixed results. Playing Cooley Kickhams from Louth on Saturday morning, we got off to great start, winning the quarter final with ease. Hours later, we were in Blennerville playing Achill from County Mayo, and pulled through after a very tough encounter. Unfortunately, we picked up a number of injuries over the first two games, which meant we had a weakened team on Sunday in the final. Playing against St. Pats, we began well and were unlucky to trail at the break by four points. As the game wore on, fatigue caught up with us and St. Pats ran out comfortable winners. Regardless of the final result, we benefitted greatly from the tournament over the weekend, with every member of our panel getting considerable game time. Best for us over the weekend were Genie, Ger Farrelly, Gareth O Donnell, James Scanlon and Declan Lindsey. Annascaul GAA would like to thank the organisers of the tournament for the invitation, we were delighted to play our part in honouring Paidi’s memory.

We lost out to Lispole in our final West Kerry league game on a scoreline of 1-20 to 2-9. We started well, with Jonathon Deane finding the net to give us an early lead.
