SOCCER

On Sunday, April 14th.  Camp United came out on top in a hard fought contest against LB Rovers        in Ballybunion.  James Scanlon scored the 2 goals. We can count ourselves unlucky on Sunday last drawing 2-2 at home to Tralee dynamos. Dynamos played well in the first half leading 1-0 at the half. We really raised our game on the second half which paid off when James Scanlon equalized five minutes  after the restart. We were now dominating and got our reward when Aidan Crean neatly slotted home with fifteen minutes left. With five minutes to go Dynamos got a free at the edge of the box and from that hit the top corner of the net. The desire from our players to win has to be admired and we were roared on all through the game by our great support. Talks of the replay being in two weeks time but yet to be confirmed. Team: Chris O Driscoll,  David Clifford, James Farrell, Eoghan O Neill, Genie Farrell, James Scanlon, Gerry O Sullivan, Francis Herlihy, David Smith (Johnny O Driscoll), Aidan Crean, James Crean.

ANNASCAUL GAA

SENIORS: Annascaul 0-6 John Mitchel’s 1-11

John Mitchel’s advanced to the second round of the Intermediate championship after a comprehensive win over Annascaul back in West Kerry. Annascaul, playing with the aid of a breeze in the first half, started brightly. Jason Hickson led the way, kicking three huge points in the opening fifteen minutes. The visitors held their composure to claw their way back into the game, with Alan O Donoghue and Niall Sheehy prominent. Despite missing a number of chances, Mitchel’s took the lead through points from Sheehy, Wayne Conway and Shaun Maloney. While they battled bravely in the first half, Annascaul failed to find a way past a tenacious Mitchel’s defence, with Brendan O Mahoney sweeping everything that came his way. With referee Peter Lyons’ whistle, Annascaul trailed at half time, 0-3 to 0-5. After the break, Mitchel’s took up where they left off and popped over two early points. But, the home team didn’t lie down. James Crean and Kenneth Quirke, who was the Annascaul’s best performer on the day, kicked two excellent efforts in the space of two minutes. However, from the next kickout, Mitchel’s long ball worked to good effect, putting the Annascaul rear-guard under pressure and resulting in the concession of a penalty. Wayne Conway slotted it, and it was effectively game over from that point on. Emmet Kennedy, Genie Farrell and Jason Hickson worked hard for the home side, but with a rampant Alan O Donoghue and Niall Sheehy, Mitchel’s sailed home.

We play Ardfert in the County league this coming weekend in Annascaul. Time to be confirmed.
