The 2009/2010 Kerry Schoolboys / Girls League Roll of Honour:

 


With the season now wrapped up, bar the Killarney Celtic – Kingdom Boys U16 Tucker Kelly Cup final which will be rescheduled for the end of the month, it is a good time to look at where the silverware went.

The fact that there are new trophies in clubhouses from Dingle to Mastergeeha and from Listowel to Kenmare shows that Schoolboys/ Girls soccer is certainly a county-wide sport with once again over 2,500 playing the Beautiful Game.

There is no doubting what the highlights, and indeed most painful memories, of the season are. They are the runs of Killarney Celtic and Kingdom Boys to the semi finals of National Cup competitions.

Celtic were within seconds of a penalty shoot-out against Home Farm, and will Kennedy Cup keeper Shane Ryan between the posts the odds were that the Hoops would prevail. However it wasn’t to be but they can look back with great pride at some great wins along the way, not least their come from behind victory over Aisling Annacotty.

Kingdom Boys went out in different circumstances. Having to travel to Crumlin they were very disappointed to be forced to play on a less than perfect All Weather pitch, while a carpet like grass pitch lay idle right beside them.

However this team can reflect on six memorable years if runs in National Cup competitions and while they mightn’t have the hoped for trophies they will go down in history of a side that made a great contribution to Kerry National Cup tradition.

At home Killarney Celtic had a memorable underage season and starting at the youngest age in the League they did the double at Under 11 level. They added a Cup final victory over Listowel Celtic to their Premier win.

There was great joy in Mastergeeha and Fenit when they won Div 1 South and North respectively. The Kilbrean side pipped Killorglin to the title while Fenit won their side with a game in hand over Camp.

The North Kerry Celtic were the big winner at under 12 level defeating Dingle Bay 1-0 to win the John Murphy Cup and winning the League by a point from Killarney Athletic.

Under 12 Div 1 saw Cup runners up Dingle gain a lot of satisfaction in winning the League while in Div 2 Kingdom Boys were too strong for the bunch.

West Kerry were again celebrating at Under 13’s. Dingle Bay won a very strong division with performances that really ear-mark this side for the future.

The Cup went to Killarney Celtic who just got the better of Fenit.

However Fenit will certainly be happy with winning the Div 1 North League title while the Southern equilivent went to Ballyhar.

St Brendan’s Park under 14’s completed a great achievement of four League titles in a row, with this team having previously prevailed at u11,u12 an u13.

The Tom Hayes Cup final was a Killarney derby with Celtic prevailing over Athletic 3-0 after a tight game.

Castlsisland picked up their silverware when winning Div 1.

In the Under 15 Premier the league title was decided after a very exciting play-off as Kingdom Boys and Killarney Celtic finished level on points. It was Celtic who won the day while the Cup final was a high scoring thriller with Inter Kenmare defeating Mastergeeha 8-3.

The Under 16 League title went to the same club. Killarney Celtic won on penalties after both Celtic and Kingdom Boys topped their respective sections.

Girls: Listowel Celtic completed a clean sweep in the Girls Cups winning the treble of Under 12 /14 and 16 Cup. The remarkable aspect to this was that Savanah McCarthy scored in all three finals.

The Girls League were won by Killarney Celtic, Listowel Celtic and Inter Kenmare.

Individuals who stood out: The pathway from Super Sevens to the Ireland underage set up and beyond is something that soccer has and that other sports are envious of. Once again we had a number of players throughout the year on International trials. However two stood out – Kingdom Boys Gary O’Neill who is now an ever present on the Irish Under 15 side and is heading to Wolves and Castleisland’s Sean Brosnan who starred with the Irish Schools team who defeated England to win their international trophy.

Mention must also go to Killarney Athletic’s Ronan Murphy who looks ever more lightly to become a Nottingham Forest player after the summer.

   

Week 33 – Kerry Schoolboys / Girls League:

Padraig Harnett - P.R.O. Kerry Schoolboys League

05/06/2010

 

Trophies All Round in Last Weekend of Schoolboys Soccer:

Tom Hayes U14 Cup Killarney Celtic 3-0 Killarney Athletic:

Division One side Killarney Athletic really put it up to neighbours Killarney Celtic and stayed with the Premier side until the early stages of the second half.

However Celtic gradually imposed their class and began to take their chances and once the first goal went in on the 45th minute there was only going to be one winner.

That goal was scored by Tony Brosnan following a great run by Conor Keane who combined with Sean O’Sullivan to set up Brosnan who made no mistake from close range.

Celtic began the second period on the attack and the goals duly came. Following Brosnan’s tenth minute strike Athletic were hit again four minutes later when a ball into the box was only half cleared and Sean O’Sullivan kept his cool to shoot home from just inside the right hand side of the box.

To their credit Athletic didn’t drop their heads and went looking to get one back. O’Connor had to be at his best on a number of occasions, especially when Kieran Brosnan looked like he had beaten the Celtic keeper but he struck out a leg to keep his side two goals in front.

The game was up for Athletic on the hour when Tony Brosnan was taken down in the box and James McCarrick made no mistake from the spot to but The Hoops 3-0 in front to warp up matters.

Celtic captain Conor Keane was presented with the Tom Hayes Memorial Cup by Denny Hayes and Celtic goal keeper Andrew O’Connor was named man-of-the-match.

The game was excellently controlled by Owen Moynihan and his assistants Maurice O’Shea and Brian Healy, who cause was definitely helped by two very sporting sides.

Under 15 Cup Final: Inter Kenmare 8-3 Mastergeeha:

During the week the second semi final was played and at half time this pairing didn’t look lightly as Inter were 2-0 down to Kingdom Boys. Nigel O’Connor had struck twice to give the Tralee side the advantage but the Kenmare side struck back with goals from Fionn Coakley, Kian Hallessey and Brian Clifford saw Inter make and amazing come-back and set up this final.

Probably the fact that the final was fixed for Kenmare give Inter that added initiative.

In the final Inter were 1-0 up inside the first minute when Brian Clifford struck home. They kept up the pressure and by the half had scored, with Clifford adding a second and the other two coming from Kian Hallissey and Brian Crowley.

Keith Finn did pull one back for Mastergeeha to make the score 3-1 but they conceded the fourth goal on the stroke of half time, at a time when they were on top. Indeed Padraig Collins was very unlucky not to have put only one between the sides when he beat the Inter defence but his chip over the advancing keeper went just over the bar.

The second half continued in the same vein as the first with Crowely added two more goals, Hallissey a second and Gavin Crowley striking a cracker from 25 yards to wrap up the scoring.

Credit must go to Mastergeeha who never dropped their heads and did get two goals back, one from Gearoid Coghlan and the second from the impressive Conor Buckley.

But it was Inters day and to add to the celebrations Denis O’Neill was named Man of the Match.

The game was excellently controlled by Brian Healy assisted by Maurice O’Shea and Tom Kerrisk.

Under 14 League: Listowel Celtic 1-1 Park :

Coming into this game Listowel Celtic needed to win to force a play-off for the League title. However they only managed a point and had to settle for second as The Park lifted the trophy.

The Park’s goal came from a Greg Horan volley after he was set up Jay Murphy cross following a Jack Savage pass. The Park are worthy champions at this age group as they finished on 32 points from twelve games- an impressive record. 

Listowel Celtic also played during the week drawing 0-0 with Killarney Celtic, which put paid to their chances of winning the League as they finished third.

Mid Week Cup Games:

Under 12 John Murphy Cup semi-final:

A place in the final against Dingle Bay was the prize when Killarney Celtic visited Listowel Celtic on Tuesday night. Fergal O’Donoghue scored for the Killarney Hoops but goals from Darren Murphy and Brian O’Sheanachain put Listowel Celtic into the decider, which will be played this week.

Mid Week League Games:

Under 11 Moriarty’s Centra Premier:

Killarney Celtic had already wrapped up this title but Kingdom Boys could have forced a play-off for second with Listowel if they had beaten Celtic.

This was a classic encounter which saw Celtic just get the better of the Tralee boys in a nine goal thriller.

Fergal Ryan, Darcy Patanski, Ferdia O’Brien and Rian O’Sullivan were all on the mark for Kingdom Boys but a hat-trick from Mark Ryan and two from Dara Moynihan saw Celtic add three more points to their League winning total.

Under 12 JK Sports Premier:

Killarney Athletic have done all than can following two games this week. The four points they gained from a 3-0 win over Park and a 1-1 draw with Listowel Celtic sees them finish on 28 points from their twelve games played.

In the 3-0 win Michael Casey, Dylan O’Sullivan and Ronan Buckley were the Athletic scorers.

However it is Listowel Celtic who are now in the driving seat as they are two points behind Athletic but have one game left to play, against Kingdom Boys during this week so a win will see them crowned League champions. In the 1 all draw Darragh Sheehy got the vital goal for Listowel.

Also during the week The Park and Killarney Cletic also drew 1-1 which sees Celtic finish in third place.

Under 13 Castleisland Computer Centre Premier:

Dingle Bay travelled to The Park knowing that a win would give them the title while defeat would open the door for Killarney Celtic. Things were very tight up to half time with only one goal separating the sides as Mathew Flaherty put the West Kerry side ahead. However they pulled away in the second half and added three more goals with Flaherty adding another plus one each from Brian and Colm Begley.

Under 13 South:

Ballyhar and Mastergeeha went head to head for this title with the home side only needing a point. On the night they took all three in a good 5-1 win. The margin was a little wider than a gallant Mastergeeha side deserved but Ballyhar were clinical up front and very tight at the back.

Their goals came from Brian Kennedy 2, William Courtney, Joe Clifford (pen) and Kieran Brosnan while Mastergeeha’s solitary reply came from Neil O’Mahoney.

Under 15 Vanilla Pod Premier:

Kingdom Boys and Killarney Celtic have finished level on points and needing a play-off to decide the title after Kingdom Boys took the points from their game against Athletic.

Under 16 League Final:

Kingdom Boys 1-1 Killarney Celtic. Killarney Celtic won 3-2 on penalties.

This was a very exciting game on the field with both sides putting up an excellent performance. Scott Monaghan put Kingdom Boys 1-0 ahead with a very good strike from the edge of the box while Thomas Templeman replied for Celtic with a good header. Indeed Celtic could have won the game in normal time except for a wonder save from Paul White who turned a point blank header from six yards over the crossbar. Kingdom Boys showed great qualities to stay in the game after they were reduced to ten men when Ian McCarthy was sent off for a second yellow.

The game went to penalties and again both Keepers were outstanding with White saving two of Celtic’s spot kicks but Shane Murphy went one better blocking three of Kingdom Boys attempts, ensuring his side took the title in an enthralling encounter. Enough has been said and written about what happened after the final whistle.

Girls:

Listowel Celtic continued to put Girls trophies into their cabinet as they took the honours in the Under 14 League and Cup this week completing the double.

In the Cup they defeated Killarney Celtic in Listowel 5-2 with Lauren Flavin, Rebecca Horgan, Katherine Flavin, Megan O’Connor and Savanah McCarthy all netting one each. McCarthy was competing what must be a unique achievement as this goal means she scored in the U12, u14 and u16 Cup finals. Listowel’s League win, achieved over the same opposition and played in Killarney was a much tighter affair needing extra time to separate the sides.

It finished 1-1 after normal time but in extra time Nicola O’Connor and Savanah McCarthy added to Lauren Flavin’s goal to give Listowel the double.

Week 32 – Kerry Schoolboys / Girls League:

Padraig Harnett - P.R.O. Kerry Schoolboys League

29/05/2010

 

Double Delight for Killarney Celtic as the first two Cup Finals are decided:

There was double delighted on the Cup front last Saturday as Killarney Celtic Under 11’s and 13’s completed a great Cup winning double.

First up was the Under 11 Final where Celtic faced Kingdom Boys, played in Mastergeeha. This game was eagerly anticipated but on the day Celtic settled better while the Kingdom Boys will learn from this defeat and will continue to progress.

The final score was 5-1 to the Killarney side with Conor McCarthy and Dion Marcos both scoring two goals with the fifth coming from David Spillane.

Ferdia O’Brien replied for the gallant runners-us.

The Cup was presented by Director of Coaching Lol O’Leary to the winning captain.

Under 13 Cup Final – Fenit 0-2 Killarney Celtic:

Even though Fenit are a Division 1 side they showed no nerves playing the Premier side’s second placed team Killarney Celtic. Of course it must be remembered that this Fenit side have won the Northern Section and will have a chance to win the Division when they face the yet to be determined Southern Section winners.

Both of these sides also had good runs in the National Cup with Celtic getting to the last four and to add to the excitement there were a large number of Kennedy Cup players on show.

In the end Celtic won on a 2-0 score-line, with those goals coming from Daniel O’Donnoghue and Michael Burns. However it wasn’t an easy victory with Celtic thankful that keeper Shane Ryan was in top form as he made a number of vital saves to keep Fenit from getting that one goal that really would have brought them back into the game. The game was played in the excellent Murt Scott Park in Ballyhar.

The players had the added bonus of having their medals presented by the FAI’s High Performance Director Wim Koevermans, who was on a visit to Kerry.

The Fenit squad who took part were: Gearoid Carmody, Denis Cosgrave, Kevin Devane, Ryan Dolan, Dylan Fitzgerald, Fionn Griffin, Fiachra Griffin, Cormac O’Connor, Ivan Parker, Gary Hannafin, Mitchell Holland, Cian McGarry, Dessie McCarthy, Darragh McCarthy and Eoin O’Brien.

League Games:

Under 15 Vanilla Pod Div 1- Park 6-0 Castlemaine:

The Park got the victory they needed to force a play-off for second place in the Division, where they will face St Bernard’s to see who finishes runners-up to Mastergeeha.

In this game they had six different scorers – Steven Roche, Tom McLoughlin, Brandon Evans, Aaron Eager, Tony O’Brien and Jay Murphy.

 

Under 16 Killarney Plaza South: Killarney Celtic 2-1 Mastergeeha:

With Celtic and Athletic tied going into this game the Hoops needed at least a point to top the South section and go on to face North winners Kingdom Boys. Mastergeeha were out of the title race but really put it up to Celtic. Scott O’Mahony and Cathal Sheehan were on the mark for Celtic while Mark Reen scored for Mastergeeha from the penalty spot.

Mid week saw the majority of the Cup final places filled with just the U12 John Murphy semi-final between Killarney Celtic and Listowel Celtic and the Under 15 semi between Kingdom Boys and Inter Kenmare to be played. Both of these are scheduled for next Tuesday, June 1st.

On Tuesday night Dingle Bay travelled to Mastergeeha in the first of the U12 semi’s and came away with a hard won 1-0 win thanks to a Liam Brosnan strike which came in the last two minutes of the game.

Also on Tuesday night in the U16 semi final Kingdom Boys proved too good for Dingle Bay winning 7-0. Adam Piggott showed his international class scoring four goals which were added to by two from Uros Ivkovic and one from Darren O’Brien.

Kingdom Boys will meet Killarney Celtic in the final and both of these sides are also due to meet in the U16 League final, if Celtic managed to pick up a point last Saturday in their game against Mastergeeha.

Wednesday night saw Killarney Celtic book their place in the Under 11 Final with a 4-2 away win over Killorglin. Mike Breen and Jamie Clifford were on the mark for the home side but Peter McCarthy with 2 and Cathal O’Shea and Dion Marcos netting one each Celtic went through to last Saturday’s final.

Joining them in the final will be neighbours Killarney Celtic who just got the better of The Park by 2 goals to 1 in Tralee . Alan Moriarty put Celtic one up but Greg Horan equalised for Celtic and the winner came from James McCarrick from the penalty spot. The final will be played in Athletics grounds in Woodlawn.

 

Girls Under 16 Cup Final – Listowel Celtic 6-0 Killarney Ath. Thur 27th Park’s pitch:

Listowel Celtic continues to dominate Girls soccer in the county and they added the U16 Cup to the Under 12 version which they won last weekend. This time it was Killarney Athletic who were their opponents and try as they might they had no answer to the North Kerry girls. The game finished 6-0 with Savanah McCarthy enhancing her ever-growing reputation with two goals in this game. Megan Galvin, Amy Griffin, Lauren Flavin and Heather O’Rourke all scored one each.

Well done also to St Brendan’s Park who provided the excellent facilities for the game.

Mid Week League Reports:

In the Moriartys Centra Under 11 B section winners Fenit continued their winning habit in the run up to their League final play-off against South section winners Mastergeeha. They defeated Listowel Celtic B 6-4 in a ten goal thriller.

Bobby O’Regan top scored for the winner with a hat trick with Sean Higgins, Anthony O’Doherty and Thomas Lenihan adding the other three.

Adam Cronin scorecd twice for Listowel with Shane Hennessey and Ray Downey from the penalty spot the other scorers.

 The Castleisland Computer Centre Under 13 Premier has for a long time been one of the most exciting Division and even at this stage any one of three sides can still win the title. On Tuesday night second placed Killarney Celtic and third placed Park were in action as both sides continued to chase League leaders Dingle Bay , who are on 27 points from their eleven games played.

Killarney Celtic stayed in second place with a 2-1 win over Athletic. Darren O’Doherty and Matt Keane scored for Celtic with Danny Healy replying for Athletic. Celtic moved onto 20 points from their nine games played.

This game was closer than the score-line suggests as only one goal separated the sides at half time.

Kerry Schoolboys League Results:

It was a huge week for all the Divisions with games being played mid week and at the weekend as we head towards the end of the season, set for the last weekend of May / first weekend of June.

Moriartys Centra Under 11 Premier:

Killarney Celtic were celebrating another League title following their 7-1 win over Listowel Celtic, who to be fair were missing a few players. David Spillane, David Clifford, Dara Moynihan, Peter McCarthy and Dion Marcos all scored for the Premier winners, who still have a game to play. And it’s an important one as they face Kingdom Boys who will have to beat them to force a play-off for second. with Listowel Celtic.

The Park continued their late season improvement with a 4-1 win over Killarney Athletic. Josh Laucher, Karl Mullins 2 and Sean Tansley scored for the Tralee boys while for Killarney Athletic James Suter was delighted to get on the score-sheet on his come-back following a broken arm.

Under 11 Div 1 South: Mastergeeha were already the winners in this section and were too good for a young Killarney Celtic side, who to be fair to them have really improved over the season. Gearoid Kerins, Shane O’Sullivan 2, Sean O’Leary 2 and JJ Herlihy scored for Mastergeeha in this 6-0 win and they will face North winners Fenit , who took the points against Clanmaurice 2-0, in the play-off to see who will be crowned Under 11 Div 1 Champions.

There were two mid week games in the North section with Listowel Celtic B defeating Clanmaurice 2-0 and Camp overcoming Killorglin B by the same score.

 JK Sports Under 12 Premier:

Listowel Celtic moved to the summit of this division with a 4-1 away win against Park and now are three points clear of Killarney Celtic with both sides having two games to play.

Aidan Quinn 2, Darren Murphy and Chris Elbell were on the mark for Listowel while Padraig Griffin replied for The Park.

Castleisland Computer Centre Under 13 Premier:

Dingle Bay have opened up a big lead here following their 1-0 win over Killorglin. Matt Flaherty’s strike gave his side all three points to move them ten points clear of Killarney Celtic and eleven clear of Park but both of these sides have three games in hand. Dingle will meet the Park in their last game.

O’Callaghan’s Coaches U14 Premier:

Dingle Bay finished off their season with two mid week 1-1 draws against Mastergeeha and Killorglin.

But there was a much more important game on Friday night when third placed Killarney Celtic faced top side Park. The game finished 2-2 which put paid to Celtic’s hopes of staying in the title race. Park’s scorers were Conor Jordan and Jack Savage while for Celtic Liam Crencher and Tony Brosnan hit the net.

Park are now on 29 from 11 games followed by Listowel Celtic on 25 from ten and Killarney Celtic on 23 from 11. Listowel and The Park still have to meet with Listowel also having to face Killarney Celtic before the title is decided.  

Under 14 Div 1:

The Park will finish the season tied for fourth place with Killarney Athletic following the six points they picked up this week. The defeated Clanmaurice and Inter Kenmare by the same score 2-0.

Castlesland have already won this title followed by Killarney Celtic in second place.

Vanilla Pod Under 15:

Kingdom Boys and Killarney Celtic  have dominated this division so it was obvious that there was not going to be anything between them when the clashed on Friday night and so it turned out with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.

However it will be second placed Kingdom Boys who will be much the happier, despite the fact that they dropped their first League points of the season.

Darragh Carmody scored for Kingdom Boys while Wayne Sparling was on the mark for Celtic. The top of the table now reads Killarney Celtic on 19 points having finished their eight game programme while Kingdom Boys are on 16 points with two games remaining.

Under 15 Div 1:

The game between second placed Camp and third placed St Bernard’s was a vital game, not just for those two teams but also for League leaders Mastergeeha and fourth placed The Park.

The game finished 5-3 in The Saints favour with St Bernard’s goals coming from Steven Egan 2, Daniel Collins, Sean O’Mahoney and Michael O’Leary.

This outcome means that Mastergeeha are crowned champions on 19 points and win the division with a game in hand. St Bernard’s move into second place on 18 points having played their eight games.

However they must still wait to see if they can claim the prize for second place as The Park are on 15 points and have a game to play against Castlemaine. If the Park win they will tie with St Bernard’s and force a play-off for second.

Killarney Plaza Under 16 South;

With Kingdom Boys awaiting the South section winners Killarney Celtic moved themselves into pole position to snatch that that prize having picked up six points this week. First up they defeated Inter 5-1 through Scott O’Mahoney 3, Denis O’Riordan and Jamie Spillane.

They then faced nearest challengers Killarney Athletic and came out 2-1 winners with the goals coming from Tadgh Moore and Jamie Spillane again.

Celtic need to take at least a point off Mastergeeha in their last game as they are now level with Athletic but they have finished their League programme.

There was a high scoring encounter between Park and Listowel Celtic with the Tralee side winning 4-3. On the mark were Jesse Stafford Lacey, Sean Tanley, Karl Mullins and Josh Laucher.

The fourth spot in the semi finals is between Fenit and Kingdom Boys who are playing mid-week.

Under 12 John Murphy Cup:

There was a novel pairing in the first quarter final when the two Killarney Celtic side’s met with, as expected the A side coming out on top. However their club-mates on the B team gave a very good account of themselves and with a number of under 11’s gaining very valuable experience it was a win/win for the club.

For Killarney Celtic A Mike Moynihan, Fergal O’Donoghue, Cathal O’Shea and two form Conon Randall saw them book their place in the last four.

Dingle Bay join them after a 3-0 win over Inter A. Liam Brosnan, Pa Sheehy and Gary Fitzgerald were the scorers.

Listlowel Cletic over came Kingdom Boys on the same score-line with their goals coming from Darren Murphy 2 and Chris Elbell’s 30 yard unstoppable free kick.

Joining them are Mastergeeha who had already booked their place thanks to a 4-2 win over Castleisland.

League Round-Up:

Moriarty’s Centra Under 11 Div 1 North:

Kingdom Boys B 2- 3 Listowel Celtic. With just pride to play for between these two sides they certainly proved that they have progressed well over the season and served up a cracker which just saw the North Kerry side take the three points on a 3-2 score-line. Kwale Yusuf score from the spot and Jack Versey added the second for Kingdom Boys but a Neilus Mackessey hat-trick give Listowel Celtic all three points.

Div 1 South: Mastergeeha had already topped this division and were probably looking forward to their play-off with the North section winners Fenit but that is to take nothing away from Ballyhar who will be reasonably happy with the point and consolidated their fourth place in the division.

Tommy O’Connor and Garroid Kerins scored for Mastergeeha with Cian O’Callaghan and Jack O’Driscoll replying for Ballyhar.

Castleisland Computer Centre Under 13 Div 1 South:

What a day in this division with three of the top four sides in action and three of them still in with a chance of winning the title. Iveragh United and Ballyhar started the day level at the top on 18 points followed by Mastergeeha on 16 and Inter on 14. Mastergeeha had the advantage of having two games left while all the other were playing their last game.

However it was a day of shocks with firstly Killarney Celtic B defeating Mastergehea 3-1. Aidan Mulvanney was their hero netting a hat trick while Eamon Herlihy replied for the Kilbrean side.

The unpredictable results continued when Inter coming out on top in their game against Iveragh United 4-2. Jack Daly hit the two for Iveragh.

So now with one game left in the division its Iveragh still on 18 points, Ballyhar, who didn’t play but will be delighted on 18 and Mastergeeha on 16 and the last game – Ballyhar v Mastgergeeha! So still any three from Iveragh United, Ballyhar and Mastergeeha could win, come second or third – who needs the Premiership!

Reports:

Late Late Show sees Killarney Celtic bow out of National Cup: Killarney Celtic’s wonderful U13 National Cup run was cruelly ended with two late late goals in this semi final against Home Farm.

The game was level after normal time and indeed referee Seamie O’Mahoney had indicated two minutes of injury time at the end of extra time, of which one was almost completed when Home Farm’s Niall Doyle evaded despairing Celtic tackles to set up sub Sean Gorman who broke the Killarney sides hearts. With Celtic still realing Home Farm added a second. To be objective Home Farm were probably the better team on the day but for heart, endeavour, bravery and with no little skill Celtic couldn’t be faulted and were a credit to the huge crowd that turned up to support them.

 

Under 12 John Murphy Cup Quarter Final:

Masteergeeha 4-2 Castleisland. Goals from Eoin McSweeney, Aidan Kelly 2 and Oscar O’Connor saw Mastergeeha claim the first semi final in this seasons U12 Cup competition.

Killarney Celtic B are the other team in contention and have 30 points with one game left to play, against their neighbours Killarney Athletic.

Killarney Plaza North: Dingle Bay and Listowel Celtic drew 1-1 in a clash with only pride at stake.

South: Killarney Athletic have opened up a six point gap at the top over neighbours Killarney Celtic (who do have two games less played) with a 3-2 win over Park in their penultimate game of the season.

Two from Podge Nagle and one from Cian Tobin gave Athletic the points with Pat Fitzgibbon and Declan Ryle replying for Park.

Danone Cup Under 11 South West Section: Killarney Celtic continued their great tradition in this nationwide competition with their 3rd win in 4 years in the South West section with was as usual played in Rathkeale. This Under 11 tournament is played in a blitz format and Celtic first got past Kilmallock in penalties after drawing 1-1 in normal time with Conor McCarthy getting their goal.. They then defeated Tramore 2-0 (Dion Marcos and Peter McCarthy) to qualify for the semi final. Here they were again two nil winners over Blallymackey setting up a final against Lifford from Clare.

Moriartys Centra Under 11 Div 1 South:

On Tuesday night Killarney Celtic proved too strong for an Iveragh United side that can't finish any higher that third.

Dion Marcos hit three, Mark Harnett 2 and one each from Jack Galvin, Conor McCarthy and Dan Devlin move Celtic into 6th.

 

Moriartys Centra Under 11 Premier:

Kingdom Boys 1-1 Listowel Celtic:

The only team happy with this clash between 2nd and 3rd was leaders Killarney Celtic!

Kingdom Boys are now out of the top two and Listowel Celtic are two points behind their namesakes and have a game more played. The table is Killarney Celtic 21/8, Listowel Celtic 19/9, Kingdom Boys 15/9 in a ten game League.

However the two Celtic's still have to meet so maybe its not all over yet.

Brian Sweeney scored for Listowel Celtic.

Killarney Athletic 3-0 Inter Kenmare:

Both of these sides are out of contention but Athletic will be happy looking forward that this side has improved over this season, finishing fourth.

JK Sports Under 12 B: Park B 4-1 Fenit:

The Park B will be very happy with this result in their final game of the season as they end their campaign with a win over the third placed team in the Division.

Danny O'Reilly was the star for the Park scoring a hat trick with Oisin Fitzgerald scoring the other goal.

Under 12 Premier: Listowel Celtic 4-1 Killorglin:

Goals from Brian O'Sheanachain 2, Kieran Lynch and Jack Foley moved Celtic to the top of the table level on points with Killarney Celtic but with a game in hand.

O'Callaghans Coaches U14 Div 1:

Kingdom Boys 2-1 Park: Kingdom Boys kept thier faint hopes of a top two finish alive with this win. They have closed the gap to second placed Castleisland to 8 points but do have a game in hand with three games to play. Killarney Celtic B lead the way on 30 points from 13 games followed by Castleisland on 30 points from 12.

Under 14 Premier: Dingle Bay and The Park were involved in a high scoring game which ended 7-4 in favour of the Tralee side.

They now move to the top of the table, level on points (25) with Listowel Celtic but with a game in hand, and with three games left to play.

Killarney Celtic are next on 22 points, three behind but with only two games remaining.

Mathew Flaherty 2, Andrew Flannery 2 were Dingle scorers who came back at one stage from three goals down.

Tomas Ziga and Jessie O'Sullivan both socred twice for The Park with Jay Murphy, Jack Savage and George Carneige scoring the others.

Killarney Plaza Under 16 North: Kingdom Boys made it nine wins from nice as they were too strong for Camp winning 7-1. Gary O'Neill showed his International class hitting a hat-trick, Darragh O'Brien got 2 with Uros Ivkovic and Adam Piggott netting the others.

U16 South; Killarney Athletic were 4-2 winners over Mastergeeha moving to the top of the table, three points ahead of neighbours but with a game more played - 28/10 as against 25/9. The mouthwatering prospect is that both sides still have to face each other in this 12 game Division.

Under 12 Girls Cup Semi Final:

Listowel Celtic qualified for the Under 12 Girls Cup final with a 4-0 win over Castleisland.

Savanah McCarthy hit a hat trick and Sarah Moriarty got the other to set up a clash of The Celtic's in the final.

Under 11 Prem:

Killarney Celtic now top the table following their 3-1 win over Park. Celtic had goals from Conor McCarthy 2 and David Spillane and are now on 21 points from 8 games played. They move three points ahead of Listowel Celtic with both teams having two games left each.

Being the two top sides in this Division they will both represent Kerry in the up coming Danone Cup Regional Qualifiers.

Div 1 South: Mastergeeha 7-3 win over Park B sees them move into an unassailable lead at the top of the Division. Scorers for the Kilbrean side were Gearoid Kerins 3, Glen Vaughan, Sean Twomey, Luke Murphy and Shane O’Sullivan.

They win this Division with two games left to play with Killorglin second.

Div 1 North: Fenit remain top of this table following their 4-2 win over Kingdom Boys. Darcy Potanski and Fergal Ryan scored for the Tralee boys but a Sean Higgins hat trick and one from George Downing were enough to see Fenit pick up all the points. This added to their 9-5 win over Killiorglin B in a mid week encounter are enough to make Fenit the winners of this Section of the Under 12 League.

Padraig O’Brien was very unlucky to be on the loosing side as he scored four of Killorglin’s goals with Conor Flynn getting the fifth.

However Sean Higgins 3, Eoghan McElligott 2, Bobby Ryan 2 and one from Anthony O’Doherty gave Fenit their first three of the six points they took this week.

Under 14 Premier:

Killarney Celtic are locked in a battle with Listowel Celtic for this title. Celtic continued their good League run, and of course it helps in their run up to next Saturday’s National Cup Semi Final, with a 3-1 mid week win over Camp.

However they did not have it all there own way as this Camp side must be one of the most improved sides in the Schoolboys League.

Celtic beat them easily earlier in the season but not this time. Jack O’Neill and Tony Brosnan 2 were on the mark for the Hoops with Rory Cheevers scoring for Camp.

Listowel Celtic move three points ahead of their namesakes with a 2-0 win over Mastergeeha and now lead Killarney by three points with both sides still having two games left to play.

Under 15 Cup ¼ Final:

Kingdom Boys joined Inter Kenmare, Killarney Athletic and Mastergeeha in the Under 15 semi finals following their easy enough win over Camp.

Kingdom Boys had Jonathan Hannafin, Gary O’Neill and Nigel O’Connor amongst their scorers.

Girls League:

Under 12 Bowl Final: In this final for sides that finished third in their respective sections Castleisland defeated Camp 3-1.

Goals from Andrea Murphy and the excellent Clogadh McKenna put Castleisland two ahead before Amy Finn pulled one back for Camp.

However Aoife Walsh made sure of the victory for Castleisland with a good strike.

Under 16 League:

Congratulations to Inter Kenmare for winning the Girls League. Even a 2-0 loss to second placed Listowel Celtic in the last game of the League will dampen their celebrations as this team has been close over the years without reaching the top of the podium. Norma O’Sullivan scored both goals for Listowel Celtic who closed the final gap to one point following a very good Girls League.

Players of the Week: With a restricted programme we don’t have a team of the week but there were plenty of performances worth mentioning throughout the lead and these were Sean Twomey, Mastergeeha U11, Thomas Lenihan Fenit U13. Darragh Finn Camp U14 , Pierce Tyther Killorglin U11 and Sean Lyons Fenit U11.

On the Girls side those who played well included Michelle Maunsell Camp u12,

Clogadh McKenna Castleisland u12 and Norma O’Sullivan Listowel Celtic u16.

National Cup ¼ Final: Killarney Celtic 2-1 Aisling Annacotty:

It’s a wonderful world! A wonderful result, on a wonderful day on a wonderful pitch!!

Killarney Celtic U13’s have qualified for the semi final of the Under 13 National Cup following a come-from-behind win over Aisling Annacotty from Limerick .

Next up for the Celtic heroes are Home Farm in the semi final which will also be played at Celtic’s excellent facilities.

However the Hoops made the huge crowd sweat on this result as they fell behind in 12 minutes into the second half to a goal from Brian Donovan. This came about due to the only real moment of panic the Celtic’s defence suffered all day and Donovan did well to find just enough room to get to the ball before keeper Shane Ryan and toe poke the ball home.

But this bunch of players have mental strength, including the memory of a defeat at this stage last season and were only behind for four minutes and what a goal it was.

Michael Burns found Matt Keane and his cross to the back post was met by a smashing half volley from the pride of Knocknagree John Fintan Daly whose showed great technical ability to rattle the back of the net giving the Aisling keeper Ed Doyle no chance.

Celtic were certainly the stronger and pushed for the winner. In the last few minutes they forced two corners and from the second, delivered perfectly by Paudie Clifford, Liam Kearney timed his run to perfection and met the cross will an unstoppable header that led to wonderful scenes on the Celtic side and heartbreak for the Limerick boys.

The first half of the game was very even but Celtic played the better football and with Burns and Paudie Clifford in great form they were always well in command. Ziquel Hogue and Darren O’Doherty were a handful up front and it was the former who had the first shot in anger after ten minutes.

Aisling were a bigger side than Celtic and in the 15th minute had a good chance to go ahead but Ronan Murphy could not keep his shot down.

Coming towards the end of the first period Celtic won a free kick and Keane found Doherty at the back post. His first time shot looked net bound but in fairness to the Aisling keeper he flung himself to his right and got the ball away.

Celtic came out very determined at the start of the second period and Hoque had a great chance to put his side ahead. However after getting 1 on 1 with the keeper he was unable to get the ball past him.

Next in was Doherty who raced onto Paudie Clifford’s through ball and did manage to get it past the keeper but it rolled just wide as keeper and striker collided.

Hoque was through again just after this but Paul Morrissey made a good tackle and also accidently caught the striker who had to go off.

It was shortly after this that Celtic went behind but as we know only for a few minutes.

What this victory means is that for the first time ever Kerry has two representatives into the National Cup semi finals, following Kingdom Boys under 16 ¼ win last week and the dreams of that elusive National title is a step closer on too fronts.

Mid Week Reports:

Under 11 Div 1: Killorglin moved into second place with a 5-3 win over Killarney Celtic B. Dion Marcos, Conor McCarthy and Daniel Devlin were on the mark for Celtic but goals from Darren Griffin, Caoilte Purcell, Dylan O’Sullivan and Padraig O’Brien 2 saw Killorglin take the points.

Under 12 Premier:

Killarney Celtic had goals from Ciaran Spillane, Conor Randall, Cathal o’Shea, Conor McCarthy, Steven Kelliher and Evan Cronin saw Celtic open up a 6 point lead on the Park but the Tralee boys do have three games in hand.

Reports:

National Cup Under 13. Celtic Park, home of Celtic has witnessed many big games in its history but from an under age point of view the upcoming National Cup Quarter Final versus Aisling Annacotty will be one of the biggest for many seasons.

Celtic set up this last 8 clash with a fabulous 3-1 win away to Shelbourne in Dublin .

Celtic took the lead early on through Michael Burns and doubled their advantage before the 20th minute when Darren Doherty scored their second.

Not long after the home side pulled one back and from then on is when Celtic really showed their character, holding the crack Dublin side to a few chances and then hit the killer blow late on when John Fintan Daly’s great work saw the ball eventually fall to Burns who coolly finished for his second of the day and send the Celtic players, management and travelling supporters into ecstasy.

Under 11 Cup First Round: Killorglin will be very happy after the first round of this Cup competition as both of their teams have qualified for the next round. The A side went all the way to penalties in their game away to Camp, eventually coming through 3-2. Gary Mathews scored in normal time and then went into goal for the penalties to cap off a memorable day for him. Aaron Foley, Mike Breen and Caoilte Purcell were on the mark from the spot.

Listowel Celtic had a four star performance from Sam Tarrant, who hit four goals in their 5-3 win over Killarney Athletic. Michael Foley hit the other.

Fenit booked their place in the next round with a 4-1 win over Killarney Celtic B. George Downing and Eoin McElligott both scored two each with Conor O’Brien scoring the other.

Iveragh and Inter Kenmare also went all the way to penalties, finishing 1-1 after extra time. Pierce McGill scored for Inter with Daniel Taylor replying for Inter.

Taylor, Chris O’Sullivan Casey, Denis Cosgrave and Fintan Davis all scored from the penalty spot.

The Park A were as expected too strong for Kingdom Boys B, whose day will come.

Under 13 Cup: Only one game was played in this competition with Listowel Celtic knocking out Kingdom Boys.

Under 15 Cup: Iveragh made sure of their place in the next round with a 5-1 over Castlemaine. Denis O’Sullivan had a day to remember scoring four with Liam Stapleton netting the fifth.

Camp will join them after they came away from Ballyhar 4-1 victory. Andrew Finn, Andrew Byrne, Sam Moriarty all scored with the other goal being an o’g.

In the Tucker Kelly Cup there was one first round game and Listowel Celtic defeated Inter 2-0.

National Cup Under 12 Last 32 – Kingdom Boys 3-2 Salthill Devon:

Salthill Devon won’t want to draw Tralee clubs anymore following this latest game. Last season it was Dynamos who knock their senior side out of the FAI Cup and this time it was the future stars of the Kingdom Boys Under 12’s who qualified for the last 16 of the National Cup following a dramatic 3-2 victory.

Kingdom Boys were 2-0 down at half time but turned in a great second half performance to score three times without reply. Chris Rodgers got the first, Ferdia O’Brien replied and in the last minute Joe Murphy popped up with the winner. Next up for the Boys is a mouth-watering home tie in the Last 16 against Cherry Orchard.

With The Park B being the lucky team getting a first round bye to the last 8 the other 14 teams lined up to join them in the hat.

Killarney Athletic got the better of Castleisland 5-3 on penalties after their game finished 3-3 after extra time. Conor Cremin, Thomas Brosnan and Paul Nelligan from the penalty spot earned Castleisland their draw but luck deserted them in the shoot-out.

Dingle Bay were 3-0 winners over Kingdom Boys with goals from Cathal Bambury, Tadgh Fahy and Matthew Flaherty.

Listowel Celtic got a walk-over from Clanmaurice while their B side also progressed defeating Killarney Celtic B 4-1 penalties after their clash finished 2-2 after extra time. Sean Kelly and Brian O’Driscoll scored for the winners while Matt Keane and Paudie Clifford replied for the Killarney.

Under 16 Tucker Kelly Cup:

There was the unfortunate accidental leg break for Fenit’s Daithai Griffin in their game against Kingdom Boys which obviously couldn’t finish. Everyone from both clubs and the whole League wish Daithai a speedy recovery and quick return to the soccer fields.

Killarney Celtic had goals from Liam O’Sullivan 2, Noel Duggan, Jamie Spillane and Chris Lawlor in their 5-0 win over Asdee to make it to the last 8.

Neighbours Killarney Athletic will be joining them but they had a much harder game against Mastegeeha. Padriag Doyle put Mastergeeha 1-0 up before an own goal levelled matters. Mastergeeha again took the lead through Mark Reen but Ronan Murphy kept his cool from the penalty spot to make it 2-2 and in extra time a delightful Colm Tobin chip put Athletic into the next round.

Camp are also through defeating Castlemaine 3-1 through Padraig O’Connor, Chris Smith and Brendan Savage.

Inter and Listowel Celtic wasn’t played so they still have a chance of joining the above winners and Dingle Bay , Park and Ballyhar who received byes into the Last 8.

 Reports:

National Cup Last 32: Fenit Samphires 3-0 Balbriggan:

What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning, watching a superb performance by a young Fenit side in the bright sunshine and beautiful surroundings!

Fenit gave one of the best performances seen in a long time and were well worth their 3-0 victory as they controlled the game in all parts of the pitch. While the goals came from Gearoid Carmody, Gary Hannafin and Ivan Parker from keeper to centre forward they were in command playing wonderful flowing football on the ground.

To be fair to Balbriggan they were very magnanimous in defeat with their manager saying they were beaten by the better team.

A special mention must go to the Fenit club for their wonderful hospitality on the day where they treated the big visiting team, press corps and visiting team to tea and sandwiches after the game.

Fenit are at home again in the last 16 where they face Tullamore Town and if they can manage another performance like this who knows how far they can go.

No Luck for our other two teams:

The other two teams in National Cup action on Saturday had no luck with the Park under 12’s going down 4-0 away to Ballincollig and Kingdom Boys loosing out 5-0 in Dublin to Clontarf.

Firstly The Park were 2-0 down in the first period and in chasing the game were caught with two late goals.

Kingdom Boys got off to the worst possible start when in the first minute keeper Paul White was red-carded for a very controversial hand ball outside the box. Paul challenged the attacker and while the ball ended up in the net but the linesman decided that he prevented a clear goal scoring opportunity and the ref flashed the red card.

Kingdom Boys tried hard but were 3-0 down by the end of the first half. However they did have chances and Darragh Carmody saw a goal bound effort cleared off the line which might have changed the complexion of the game.

The Tralee side held Clontarf scoreless for most of the second half but just ran out of steam and the Dublin side ran in two late goals.

League Reports:

Moriarty’s Centra Under 11 Div 1 North:

With neither of the top two sides in action Asdee and Killorglin B were anxious to take advantage and close the gap on Fenit who lead the way on twelve points.

Killorglin B had no trouble getting over Kingdom Boys B in a 6- 0 win. Their goals came from Luke Heffernan 2 and Fiachra Clifford 2 each with Pierce Tyther and Padraig O’Brien getting the others.

Asdee had to be happy with a 1-1 draw against Clanmaurice with Tadgh Clifford getting their goal leaving themselves, Killorglin B and Camp all level on eleven points.

Div 1 South:

Iveragh United move into the lead in this division following their 7-2 win over The Park B. They leap-frogged Killorglin and lead them by a point with a game in hand.

For the Caherciveen side Niall Brennan scored twice with Pierce McGill, Graham O’Sullivan, Darren Casey, Aldares and Mark Quigley netting one each.

Donagh O’Brien and Eoin Greaney replied for The Park.

Mastergeeha are still a huge treat in this division as they stayed unbeaten in the League with their third win from three defeating an improving Killarney Celtic B 4-0. Gearroid Kerins scored twice with Kieran O’Connor and Glenn Vaughan getting the others in a game that was played on Friday night.

Under 12 JK Sports Premier:

A Ronan Buckley hat trick and one from Mike Casey saw Killarney Athletic defeating Kingdom Boys 4-1 for whom Calvin Foley replied.

In Div 1 Ballyhar got the better of Camp 3-2 with goals from Shane O’Donoghue, William Courtney and Jason O’Connor.

Best Wishes for a Speedy Recovery: Everyone involved in Schoolboy Soccer in Kerry want to wish Brendan Moloney a speedy recovery from the serious knee injury he sustained last week. Brendan, of course, is signed to Nottingham Forest but was out on loan to Scunthorpe and had played well for them on his few appearances. Brendan is now in recovery and hopefully it won’t be long before he is back to full fitness.

However if they though they were in with a chance of getting back into the game Fenit scored on the stroke of half time to lead 4-1 and they never looked back.

JK Sports Under 12 Premier: Killarney Celtic lead the way here and picked up four points from their two games this week. Firstly they played Kingdom Boys on Tuesday night and won 2-1.

Killarney Celtic are now on 19 points while Listowel Celtic stay in third on 10 points.

Second placed Park kept the pressure on the Killarney side with a 3-2 win over Killarney Athletic, who defeat has put them under pressure to stay with the three teams above them. James Duggan, Sean Fitzmaurice and Paudie Griffin were the Park’s scorer’s which sees them now move onto 16 points.

Div 2: Kingdom Boys lead the way in this Division and were too strong for Listowel Celtic winning 6-1. Mario Zige top scored with three, while Jamie Leen, Eoin Edwards and Dara Lowth scored the others. Indeed the influential Dara captained the side, not bad for a nine year old!

Mastergeeha made sure that it wouldn’t become a one horse race as they got the three points, to keep the gap to six points, from their 5-0 win over Killarney Celtic B.

Aidan Kelly with 2 and one each from Eoin Kennedy, Oscar O’Connor and Paul O’Connor were the Kilbrean side’s scorers.

O’Callaghan’s Coaches Under 14 Premier: League leaders Listowel Celtic made the most of their trip to Killorglin returning with a 3-1 victory (Kevin Bowler, Sean Gilbert and Sean Farrell) but didn’t have it all their own way as Celtic were thankful to keeper Darragh O’Shea who had and excellent game. Listowel are now on 16 points.

Div 1: There was plenty of action in Division 1 with eight teams in action and it was a great day for the underdogs.

Second placed at the start of the day, Inter Kenmare also had a bad day going down 3-1 to Clanmaurice with Cillian Spillane getting the Kenmare consolation score.

Kenamre now find themselves relegated to third following Castleislands 4-1 win over Park B. Goals from Conor Cremin 2, Shane O’Connor and Colm Murphy were enough to see Castleisland move to within four points of the top.

Killarney Celtic had two big games on Saturday in the National Cup with the U11’s playing Corinthians in the Last 36 and the U13’s up against Killavilla United from the South Leinster League.

The U13’s were first out and dominated the game but just couldn’t find the breakthrough. However defensively Celtic gave nothing away with their keeper rarely threatened. The game finished 0-0 after full time and the same after extra time and so into penalties. Here Celtic had a number of heroes both from the spot and in goal.

Michael Burns, Liam Carney, Darren O’Doherty and Matthew Keane all scored and Shane Ryan in the goal saved two to send Celtic into the Last 36.

There was no luck for the Under 11’s who put up a great battle but lost out 2-0 to Corinthians Boys conceding both goals in the second half.

League Reports:

Moriartys Centra Under 11 Premier: With the top two sides, Killarney and Listowel Celtic’s (both on nine points) not playing the other teams hoped to close the gap.

Denis Cronin, Chris O’Sullivan Casey and Daniel Taylor were the home side’s scorers. Michael Coppinger got the first Athletic goal to equalise and then Daniel O’Brien and Mike Cronin scored late in the game to rescue a point.

National Cup Reports:

National Cup U11’s: Midelton 5-2 Park St Brendan’s Park were a little unlucky in this game going down 5-2 but were within a goal when they suffered two injuries. It does seem that the referee only allowed The Park to make three substitutions, instead of the allowed five. Josh Laucher from the penalty spot and Darren Chester were The Park’s scorers.

National Cup U15’s: Home Farm sent home empty handed. The highlight of the day was the superb win by Kingdom Boys Under 15 over top Dublin side, and last year’s National Cup winners Home Farm in a Round of 36 game. Indeed this was a little bit of history for Kingdom Boys as this is the first year (and hopefully the last) that there will be a Round of 36 in the National Cup.. The only goal of a very fast and furious game came on the 17th minute from Niall Sheehy. Kingdom Boys even had the luxury of missing a penalty! They now face Clontarf away in the Last 32. 

Unfortunately our other two sides Killarney Celtic and Athletic both went out. Celtic conceded a first minute goal and despite a valiant effort just could not find an equaliser.

Killarney Athletic travelled to Tipperary but went down 3-1 with Ronan Murphy getting their goal.

League Reports:

Under 12 JK Sports Premier:

With joint leaders Killarney Celtic not in action The Park hoped to take advantage and they are now leaders on their own but only by one point following an amazing game against Inter Kenmare.

The game finished 6-6 to leave The Park on 13 points. Gary Nolan scored twice for Park with James Duggan, Sean Fitzmaurice, man of the match Padraig Griffin and Murrough Connolly all scoring one each.

For Inter Pat Spillane and Stephen O’Sullivan both netted hat-tricks to give their side a share of the points.

Listowel Celtic were the big movers and moved into joint second on 12 points following their 4-2 in Killorglin.

Dale Mulvihill and Aidan Quinn both netted two goals each to put the North Kerry side 4-0 up. However Killorglin fought back through Sean Kelliher and Michael Bran but it just wasn’t enough.

Killarney Athletic defeated Kingdom Boys in the other game in this division thanks to goals from Ronan Buckley and Dylan O’Sullivan.

Division 1: Top of the table Dingle suffered their first loss in six games, and indeed dropped their first points of the season, going down 3-2 away to neighbours Camp. Jimmy Moriarty and Maurice Slattery put Camp ahead twice but a Liam Brosnan doubled levelled matters both times. However Eoin Curry had the last say netting the winner from the penalty spot.

Castleisland could have joined Dingle at the top of the table but were held 4-4 at home to Fenit. They do however move to within two points of the top of the table.

Alan Brown, Ethan O’Connor, Sean Tagney and Sean O’Donoghue were the Castleisland scorers with Ryan Dolan netting a hat trick and David Murphy the other goal for Fenit.

Ballyhar added another three points to their total with a 5-2 win over Park B. Colm Murphy hit three goals for the winners which were added to by Donnacha O’Sullivan and Daniel O’Connor.

National Cup 3rd Round: - One in, One out and One off! Kerry has one team through to the last 32 of the Under 16 National Cup after Kingdom Boys got the better of a gallant Corbally 3-1. The Tralee side were clinical in their finishing, especially Darren O’Brien who scored twice in the first half to give Kingdom Boys a 2-0 lead. Corbally themselves were dangerous on their attacks and pulled one back early into the second half but an Adam Piggott third wrapped up the victory. Kingdom Boys now make the long trip to Swilly Rovers in Donegal for round 4.

Unfortunately the Kingdom Boys Under 13 side’s National Cup campaign is over, going down 3-1 in Templemore. Cathal Ryan scored for the away side.

The U15 Round 3 game between Holycross and Killarney Athletic didn’t go ahead.

Moriarty’s Centra Under 11 Premier: This division was blown wide open following Kingdom Boys 3-2 win over Killarney Celtic in Killarney.

Inter Kenmare and Killarney Celtic also picked up their first points of the season as they played out a 2-2 draw. Inter went 2-0 in front but Donal Duggan pulled one back before Mark Harnett, scoring his third goal in two games, got the equaliser.

JK Sports Under 12 Premier: There was one rearranged game in this division and it saw the points going to Killarney Athletic. An Adam O’Shea goal gave them all three points against Killorglin. However Killorglin can also feel happy as this result proved their hard work is paying off and another win isn’t too far away.

O’Callaghan Coaches Under 14 Premier:

With the clash of second versus first (Killarney Celtic v Dingle) off The Park and Listowel Celtic clashed knowing that three points would really see them in the hunt for overall honours.

Mastergeeha moved onto three points, and level with Iveragh and Killarney Celtic B following their 2-1 win over Iveragh. Dennis O’Connor got both goals for the Kilbrean side.

Vanilla Pod Under 15: It was billed as the game of the day and, with both sides coming in unbeaten in their two games so far, so it turned out with Kingdom Boys just getting the better of Celtic in Killarney.

National Cup Reports:

Under 11: Mastergeeha ensured that there will be at least one Kerry team in the last 36 of the Under 11 National Cup as their win over Ennis Town sets up an interesting clash against neighbours Killarney Celtic.

This was a great Mastergeeha performance considering they have yet to play a League game and have had only one other National Cup game which the won against Avenue C. On the mark for the Kilbrean side were Thomas Fleming, Stephen Dunlea, Luke Murphy and Gearroid Kerins.

Under 12: Kingdom Boys have moved into the next round with a hard fought 2-1 win over Herbertstown after extra time in a game played at the Tralee IT and watched by FAI CEO John Delaney who the night before had attended the Tralee Dynamos social.  Calvin Foley was the hero for Kingdom Boys getting both goals. There next game will be at home to Regional.

Joining them in Round 4 will be neighbours The Park who beat Kilmallock 3-2. James Duggan, Colm Griffin and Padraig Griffin were the scorers. The Park are at home to Mungret Regional in Round 4 with a prize of a place in the last 36 the carrot for all Round 4 winners.

Killarney Athletic are also into Round 4 as they won the all Kerry clash against Listowel Celtic 2-1. Micheal Casey got both of Athletic’s goals and the now await the winners of the Aisling Annacotty/ St Pat game.

Unfortunately Killarney Celtic were unlucky to go down to Avenue 3-0. Celtic had chances and indeed had the ball in the net (and out as it went under the back part of the net) but it wasn’t give, much to the consternation of the home side and Avenue took their chances to progress.

 

Under 16:

Kingdom Boys made no mistake in reaching the fourth round with a 5-0 win over Kilmallock and will welcome Corbally to Tralee for the next round.

Adam Piggott, Darren O’Brien, Scott Monaghan, Ian McCarthy and Brendan Flavin were all on the mark for Kingdom Boys.

In the other 3rd round game Inter Kenmare travelled to Neenagh and went all the way to penalties following a 3-3 draw. However they suffered the heartbreak of going out after the spot kicks.

Under 11 Moriartys Centra Premier: In a re-arranged game Listowel Celtic just got the better of Kingdom Boys A with a 1-0 win, courtesy of a Jack Healy strike. This was Celtic’s debut game of the season so a win in their first game is a good way to start.

Under 12 JK Sports Premier: The Park had a very good 6-1 across the road at their neighbours Kingdom Boys. Coming into the game Kingdom Boys had a couple of win and The Park had lost their opening game so a win was vital and they did this in style. The scorers were Mike O’Donnell and Sean Fitzmaurice who both got two and there was one each from Gary Nolan and James Duggan.

In the other game in this division Killarney Celtic move onto six points from two games and also scored six goals. Conor Randall and Conor McCarthy scored two each with Stephen Kelliher and Evan Cronin netting the other two.

O Callaghans Coaches Under 14 League: Premier: Killarney Celtic and Killorglin had both picked up three points from their only games so far so this was expected to be tight. However Celtic won 6-1 but to be fair they were the first to acknowledge that the score line did flatter them a little.

Conor Keane got two goals as did Ryan O’Connor with Tommy Brosnan and Dara Roche netting one each.

Listowel Celtic and Dingle Bay Rovers were making their seasonal debuts and it was the North Kerry side that picked up the points winning 4-1. Kevin Bowler, Sean Gilbert, Liam O’Connor and Michael Woods all scored while Tom Sullivan got the Dingle consolation.

Div 1: Clanamurice pushed Killarney Celtic B all the way but in the end it was the Hoops who made it two wins from two through goals from Damien Lyne and Mikey Coffey (2).

Killarney Athletic looks to be the team to beat in this Division winning their third game, defeating Park B 6-1. Ronan Murphy, Jack O’Connor and Jeff O’Donoghue were among the scorers. Peter Murphy replied for The Park b.

Reports:

Under 11 National Cup: The Park and Kingdom Boys moved into the next round without kicking a ball and here they will be joined at the moment (there are still some outstanding games which will be played in two weeks) by Listowel Celtic while for Inter Kenmare and Killorglin the National Cup is over.

Listowel Celtic arranged their game early as they were heading to Dublin for the Ireland / Italy game and made the journey much shorter with a 3-0 win.

Dara Buckley, Thomas Melvin and William Foley were the Listowel Celtic scorers.

Under 13 National Cup: Killarney Celtic were 4-2 winners over Caherdavin but they did make hard work of it. They went ahead early through Darren O’Doherty but we pulled back almost immediately and then found themselves 2-1 down at half time. However Paudie Clifford settled nerves when equalising in the first minute of the second half.

Mathew Keane put Celtic ahead but the matter wasn’t totally safe until Ziqual Haque scored Celtic’s fourth in the final minutes.

Fenit won the all Kerry clash defeating Listowel Celtic in Listowel 5-2. Ivan Parker, Dessie McCarthy, Denis Cosgrave and two from Kevin Devane sees Fenit into the next round.

Killarney Athletic had a very good 5-0 win over Coole in Woodlawn. A Jordan Keily hat trick set them on their way and this was added to by one each from David Sheerin and John O’Brien.

Mastergeeha are also through following their very impressive 1-0 win away to Mountshannon Celtic with Philip Casey getting the only goal.

Asdee were very unlucky to lose out in the odd goal in five going down 3-2 away to Glenview Rovers. Andrew Doherty from the penalty spot and John Horgan were the Asdee scorers.

Also very unlucky to go out were The Park going out 5-4 to Holy Cross on penalties.

Under 15 National Cup: Kingdom Boys were too good for Regional United in a game where the Tralee side dominated. Darragh Carmody got two, one in each half, Nigel O’Connor also got two with Sean Moloney netting the other goal.

Inter Kenmare’s 4-3 win over Corbally was probably the result of the round. Denis O’Neill, Cian Hallisey and two from Brian Clifford saw Inter into the next round.

Also dreaming of National Cup glory are Killarney Celtic who were 3-1 winners over Ennis Town . Liam O’Sullivan, Wayne Sparling and Conor Keane were all on the mark for Celtic.

The Park progressed without kicking a ball receiving a walk over from Newcastlewest.

However Mastergeeha, who went down 2-1 to Athea Utd, Listowel Cletic who went down to Fairview Rangers and Ballyhar, defeated by Pike Rovers are all out of the competition.

Great Start to Under 12 National Cup campaign by Kerry teams:

Five teams went into first and second round action and four went through, which was all that could as two Kerry sides met each other in the first round.

Killarney Athletic proved too strong for Fenit Samphires winning on a 5-1 score-line. Mikey Carey was the top scorer with 3 goals while Ronan Buckley and Adam O’Shea got one each. Ryan Dolan replied for Fenit.

In round 2 St Brendan’s Park won on the road beating Croom United 4-2 with goals from Sean Fitzmaurice, Sean Dukes, James Duggan and Dylan Hennebury.

Killarney Celtic were also on their travels defeating Connolly Celtic 3-1. This was a tight affair with the scores tied at 0-0 into the second half but two goals from Stephen Kelliher and one from Conor Randall saw them through while Connolly Celtic scored a late consolation.

It was much easier for Ballyhar who received a walk over from Holycross

Under 14 National Cup:

One through and one out was the story from Round 1 of the National Cup. Killorglin went down 2-0 to Aisling Annacotty but Inter Kenmare had a better day winning 3-1 at home to Newcastlewest with Killian Spillane scoring twice and Fintan Kennedy getting the other one.

In round two, Killarney Athletic accounted for Arra Rovers 3-0 in Woodlawn but Mastergeeha are out going down by the odd goal in nine after extra time. Damien Breen couldn’t have done much more netting a hat-trick with Kelvin Teehan getting the other but it just wasn’t enough.

In the two all Kerry clashes The Park were much too strong for Kingdom Boys and Killarney Celtic defeated Castlisland.

For The Park Ryan Downey, Jessie O’Sullivan, Greg Horan, Toams Ziga, Jack Savage, Thomas Fitzgibbon and Roman Laucher were all on the mark while Celtic’s scorers were Tommy Brosnan, James McCarrick with two, Alan Murphy and Conor Keane.

National Cup Under 16:

Four teams through and four out is the story of the early round of the National Cup. Inter Kenmare and Killarney Athletic went through without kicking a ball while Kingdom Boys were 6-0 winners over Pike Rovers and Listowel Celtic were 3-1 winners away to Broadford.

Kingdom Boys saw Adam Piggott in top form netting a hat trick, Uros Ivkovic netting two and the other goal coming from Darren O’Brien while two goals from Ian Murphy and one from Dara Kennelly saw Listowel Celtic through.

Mastergeeha went out to Knocklong, The Park went down to Ennis Town and Killarney Celtic were unlucky to lose to a late goal away to Fairview Rangers.                                 

The draws for the next round of the National Cup is available on the SFAI Website.

League Reports:

With the National Cup taking precedence there was a limited League programme.

In the Under 12 JK Sports Listowel Celtic were much too strong for a young Inter Kenmare side. Goals from Kieran Lynch 3, Darragh Sheehy 2, Jack and John Foley, Jack Wall, Dean Mulvihill and Dominic Murphy gave the North Kerry side all three points.

In Division 1 there was a cracker with The Park and Camp sharing eight goals. However Camp will be much the happier considering they were 3-0 down after 15 minutes, though they did start with only ten players.

Oisin Fitzgerald with two and one from Danny O’Reilly saw the Tralee cruising. However Camp stormed back with goals from Jack Nix and two from Maurice Slattery seeing them level matters. O’Reilly and Jack O’Connor shared goals to give both sides a point a piece.

Dingle Bay Rovers were 2-1 winners over Castleisland. Liam Brosnan got both for Dingle while Florance McCarthy got Castleisland’s goal.

In Div 2 Mastergeeha were too strong for Listowel Celtic B winning 7-0. Chris Keane, JJ Herlihy, Graham Kerins with two, an OG and Oscar O’Connor were all on the mark.

O’Callaghan’s Coaches Under 14 League:

In the Premier Dingle Bay claimed the points over Camp with a 2-0 win through goals from Patrick Devane and Barry Sheehan.

In Div 1 Listowel Celtic defeated Park b 4-2 in Tralee . Niall Carroll Kane and Tommy Nickolson were on the mark for Park but their scores weren’t enough. Sean Kennelly got 2, one from the penalty spot, Daniel Bardon scored direct from a corner and a Cathal Kearney strike were enough to give Listowel the points.

Under 16 Killarney Plaza:

Premier North: Asdee 1-4 Camp. Wayne Hayes was on the mark for Asdee but it was only a consolation as two goals from Andrew Finn and one each from James Crean and Andy Byrne saw Camp take all three points.

In the Premier South Section Castlemaine had a good win in Tralee over Park B. Clive Ashe, Martin Fitzgerald and Noel Sheehan were all on the mark.

Inter Kenmare 1-5 Killarney Athletic: The highlight here was four goals from Padraig Nagle who was making his debut for Athletic. Jack O’Connor got the other Athletic score while Rory O’Sullivan got the only Inter Kenmare score.

Reports:

JK Sports Under 12 League:

Premier: Kingdom Boys made it two wins from two with an easy enough win over a gallant Inter side. Goals from Darren Sweeney, Chris Rogers, Calvin Foley, Jimmy Shannahan, Dylan O’Brien and two from Shane Lowth gave the Tralee side all three points.

Listowel Celtic got the better of Killarney Athletic 4-2 with goals from Kieran Lynch from the penalty spot, Jason Foley, Kieran Lynch and Dale Mulvihill.

Indeed the first few minutes were dominated by penalties with both sides scoring and it was nip and tuck with Listowel eventually going 3-2 in front but it wasn’t until Mulvihills last minute goal that they could eventually relax and claim all three points.

Killarney Celtic 3-2 Park : These two sides had plenty of good battles at under 11’s and have started the under 12 season the same way. Celtic went 1-0 up through Evan Cronin inside the first minute but less than 60 seconds later Sean Fitzmaurice had equalised for The Park. Conor Randall put Celtic back in front before half time but into the second period and Mike O’Donnell levelled matters.

Padraig O’Donoghue made sure the home side emerged winners following a cross from the impressive Fergal O’Donoghue.

Under 12 Div 1: Castleisland travelled to Tralee to meet The Park B and came away 5-1 winners. Kevin Nelligan, Shane McLoughlin from the penalty spot, Sean O’Donoghue, Kieran Breen and Danny Curtin were the scorers.

Fenit Samphires were the other side to pick up three points in this division with a 3-1 win over Camp. Thomas Landers got two and Mark Williams for the home side with the Camp score coming from Eoin Curry. To be fair to Camp they were well in this game up to the last five minutes when Fenit scored two late goals.

Div 2: The two Celtics shared four goals in this game played in Listowel. Dan Cotter and Dion Marcus were the Killarney Celtic scorers.

 O’Callaghans Coaches Under 14 Premier:

Mastergeeha 1 – 4 St Brendan’s Park: Damien Breen scored early for Mastergeeha but that was as good as it got for the Kilbrean side. Thomas Ziga equalised for The Park and this was followed by goals from Greg Horan from the penalty spot. Jessie O’Sullivan got the third just before half time and in the second period Jay Murphy made sure there was no way back for the home side.

Killorglin and Camp were involved in a high scoring thriller with nine goals scored in the game. Killorglin ran out 6-3 winners in the end. However it was 2-2 at half time with Wesley Delany and Shane Daly on the mark for Killorglin and Rory Cheevers and Jordan Quirke scoring for Camp. However it was nearly all Killorglin in the second half with Daly adding another, Shane and Ryan O’Riordan netting one each and Liam Carey getting the last. Camps only goal of the second half came from Jonathan Deane.

Division 1: There were wins in this division for Kingdom Boys, Killarney Celtic B, Killarney Athletic and Castleisland over Inter Kenmare, Park B, Clanmaurice and Listowel Celtic B respectively.

Matthew Finnerty, Nic Renardson, Shane Greensmith and Daniel O’Connor were the Kingdom Boys scorers in their 4-2 win over Inter.

Killarney Celtic B had Michael Coffey (2) and Evan Doherty on the mark against The Park in their 3-1 in. The game was tied 1-1 at half time.

Two goals from Darren Horgan gave Killarney Athletic all three points in their 2-1 win over Clanmaurice.

The big scorers were Castleisland who put eight past a young Listowel Celtic B side.

Even at this early stage of the season Castleisland are a team to watch. Shane O’Connor got 4, Jack Cooney 3 and one from Kevin Hannafin were the scorers.

Killarney Plaza Under 16:

Under 16 North – Kingdom Boys 6-0 Camp: Kingdom Boys have been banging in the goals preseason and started their league the same way. Darragh O’Brien netted a hat-trick, his name-sake Darren O’Brien with David O’Sullivan getting the other one.

In the Southern Section Killarney Athletic got the points without having to kick a ball as Inter failed to field a team while in the oth
