Annascaul Senior Football Team:
Annascaul qualified recently for a semi-final position in the West Kerry League and Annascaul were also successful away to Lispole on a score line of 0-12 to 0-9.
The game opened with a point from Jason Hickson in the first minute of the game. Lispole answered in the tenth minute, but with points from Eamonn Hickson and Shane Foley, Lispole were trailing at the half-time stage on a score line of 0-5 to 0-3.Jason Hickson once again opened for Annascaul in the fifth minute of the second half, with James Scanlon pointing, and a burst from Shane Foley adding two consecutive points giving Annascaul a six point lead in the opening stages.However, that was short lived with a hungry Lispole adding five unanswered points to the score board coming within one point of Annascaul. With Lispole on their tails, Annascaul’s upped the work rate with John Bowler, David Clifford and young Alan Falvey slotting over in the final stages of the game leaving them victorious. Best for Annascaul were Eamonn Hickson, Shane Foley, James Scanlon, Jason Hickson and man-of-the-match Emmet Kennedy.The West Kerry League semi-final matches are scheduled for next weekend, times and venues to be announced.Tommy Pierce,

Annascaul U14 Team:
The Annascaul U14 team were beaten in round 2 by a far stronger Dingle side recently away to Dingle. In round 3.
Annascaul lost out last weekend in the West Kerry League Semi-Final to Dingle in Pairc an Aghasaigh on a score line of 1-13 to 0-7.
Dingle opened the scoring with a point from Mark Evans in the first minute of the game, shortly followed by a point from Annascauls Jason Hickson. It was tit-for-tat in the opening quarter between Jason Hickson and Mark Evans until Dingles Breandán Kelliher shot to the back of the net which saw Dingle a goal up at the end of the first quarter. However, points from James Crean and Jason Hickson narrowed the gap with a half time score of Dingle 1-03 to Annascaul 0-5.
Annascaul added to the score board with a point from James Crean in the first minute of the second half but unfortunately for Annascaul they were unable to respond to a spree of points from Mikey Geaney and Mark Evans. Jason Hickson scored a point from play in the closing minutes but this was far from enough to fend off a stronger performance by Dingle in the second half.
Best for Annascaul were Emmet Kenney, Shane Foley, David Clifford, Eoin O’Neill and Annascauls man-of-the-match Jason Hickson.
