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. Subs: John Bowler, Jamie Quirke, Shane Scanlon.
