SENIORS
Our senior team relinquished two valuable Co. League points in the most cruel fashion with the concession of a goal with the last kick of the game against Annascaul on Saturday night in Ballymac. The visitors dominated the first half and led at half time on a core of 1-7 to 0-5 their goal coming in the 12th minute. Annascual started the 2nd half the better and five minutes into it led on a score of 2-9 to 0-6. Their second goal coming from a penalty. Our lads deserve great credit for the come back which ensued. Two goals in the 11th and 12th minute from Daniel O Shea and Aidan Breen (penalty) and points from Gene Griffin (3), Aidan Breen and Padraig McCarthy saw us leading with 10 minutes remaining on a score of 2-12 to 2-10. In an exciting finish the sides swapped points and we seemed set for victory leading by a point with time almost up. However, in the final play of the game the West Kerry snatched a winner. While our lads were disappointed with this loss they can look forward to the rest of the Co. League campaign with confidence based on our excellent second half performance.
Team: P Laide, B O Donnell, TJ Casey, Denis Leen, C. Counihan, K O Shea, M Leen, C Reynolds, P Galvin, D O Shea, G Griffin, E Reidy, L Sweeney, A Breen, Dermot Leen. Subs: P McCarthy
