Kerry Petroleum Kerry Petroleum Senior Football Club Championship Group B, Venue: Dingle, (Round 2), Dingle 1-17 Na Gaeil 0-6
Dingle led 1-8 to 0-2 at half time, Paul Geaney responsible for 1-1 of that total, the goal coming in the 13th minute. Conor Geaney and Dylan Geaney scored 3 points each. Paul Geaney ended the contest with 1-4 while Conor Geaney and Dylan Geaney had 5 points apiece.

Kerry Petroleum Kerry Petroleum Senior Football Club Championship Group B, Venue: Dr Crokes GAA Grounds, (Round 2), Dr. Crokes 0-17 Milltown/Castlemaine 0-6
Dr. Crokes 0-17 Milltown/Castlemaine 0-6
Venue: Lewis Road, Killarney
Referee: Paul Hayes (Kerins O'Rahillys)
Dr. Crokes came into the encounter on the back of an opening round six point defeat against Dingle whilst the Mid Kerry men had claimed a narrow one point victory against Tralee side, Na Gaeil at Austin Stack Park.

Dr. Crokes, having won 11 games out of 11 in Credit Union County Senior Football League Division 1 earlier in the season, would have came into the match as strong favourites, particularly playing on home soil but Milltown/Castlemaine had little to lose also knowing that a win against the odds away from home would see them progress to the knockout stages with a game to spare so it was all to play for.

It was Milltown/Castlemaine who made the stronger start of the two sides, playing a very patient build up game in the process. Two wides for the away side were followed by a point from play from Cathal Moriarty, who opened the scoring in the 4th minute. This was followed by an Eanna O'Connor close range free in the 9th minute to make it 0-2 to 0-0. The hosts were very slow out of the blocks, struggling in terms of finding possession of the ball in particular but they did rise to the occasion from the 10th minute onwards with wing forward Tom Doyle opening their account with a well taken point from play. This seemed to get the home side ticking and three more points on the trot from Tony Brosnan (free, 13th minute), Daithi Casey (free, 16th minute) and David Shaw, with a wonderful effort from play in the 17th minute, saw Crokes turn a two point deficit early on into a two point lead at 0-4 to 0-2. Gavin White saw a super goal bound effort come back off the crossbar midway through the half, thanks largely to Cormac Leane in the away side's goals getting a hand to an absolute rocket-A great save. Eanna O'Connor and Daithi Casey exchanged frees in the 23rd and 24th minutes respectively to leave it 0-5 to 0-3 before Michael Potts stretched the lead out to three for Crokes in the 25th minute with a lovely point from distance. The visitors dug deep however before the half time interval and points from Dara Hogan in the 26th minute from play and an Eanna O'Connor close range free in the 29th minute ensured that only a point would separate the sides at the interval with Crokes leading 0-6 to 0-5.

Dr. Crokes emerged from half time a different team completely for the second half and they showed a ruthless streak throughout which wasn't seen against Dingle last week or in the first half performance against Milltown/Castlemaine. The home side had three scores on the board less than five minutes into the second half with an in-form Tony Brosnan landing two (1 free, 1 from play) and Cian McMahon notching his first for the evening leaving it 0-9 to 0-5 in Crokes' favour. Milltown/Castlemaine were now struggling to get the ball out of their defence with Crokes pushing up and exerting huge pressure on Cormac Leane's kickouts. It was bearing fruit and they started to dominate midfield also which was ominous. Cian McMahon slotted his second point of the half in the 41st minute. Tony Brosnan added a free in the 45th minute before full back Fionn Fitzgerald popped up with one also after a long run to leave it 0-12 to 0-05 as the game entered the final quarter. Milltown/Castlemaine failed to land any second half point at this juncture and wouldn't until injury time, highlighting Crokes' improvement. Tony Brosnan, substitute Alex Hennigan and a fisted point from midfielder Mark O'Shea added three more for the hosts to leave it 0-15 to 0-05 with 55 minutes played. The game was all but over as a contest long before this point but Crokes would finish it out by adding two more scores from Tony Brosnan (free) and David Shaw to make it 0-17 to 0-05. A '45' converted by Milltown/Castlemaine's Eanna O'Connor landed the final score of the encounter and also the visitors first and only score of the second half in the 61st minute at Lewis Road. A very impressive second half showing from Crokes proved too strong for the Mid Kerry side as they outscored Milltown/Castlemaine by 0-11 to 0-01.

Final score: Dr. Crokes 0-17 Milltown/Castlemaine 0-06

Dr. Crokes will now play Na Gaeil in Round 3 next weekend in Killeen, Tralee whilst Milltown/Castlemaine will play host to Dingle at the Paddy Burke Memorial Park, Milltown.

Kerry Petroleum Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Football Club Championship Group A, Venue: Connolly Park ( Austin Stacks), (Round 2), Austin Stacks 0-8 An Ghaeltacht 0-8
Austin Stacks and An Ghaeltacht will both head into the final weekend of group games believing they can advance after a share of the spoils in Connolly Park.

In a very low scoring game neither side managed to get any period of dominance that disappointingly saw as many wides as it did scores.

The opening score of the game came from Tomas O’Se who fired over after three minutes to give the visitors the lead. The lead only lasted two minutes when Cian Purcell claimed a mark just inside the 45-yard line and put the resulting kick between the uprights.

Paddy Lane was next to get on the scoresheet for Austin Stacks with the first of his five points. After an exchange of passes with Cian Purcell he calmly scored from a tight angle.
The home sides lead extended to two points five minutes later when Paddy Lane kicked over a free from just outside the 21-yard line.

Midway through the first half An Ghaeltacht reduced the deficit when Dara O’Se kicked over a free which was to be his first point from his match total of five. After both sides exchanged a couple of wides each the game was level again when Dara O’Shea kicked over from long range and minutes later, they were ahead when O’Se popped over another free.

The final score of the opening half came from the boot of Conor Horan before both sides failed to avail of the chance to grab the opening goal of the match. Firstly, Paddy Lane saw his low driven shot beat the keeper before flashing past the far post and then Seamus O’Loinsigh, after a great solo run, had his goal bound shot blocked by the covering Daniel Kirby.

Half Time, Austin Stacks 0-04 An Ghaeltacht 0-04

Early in the second half Austin Stacks were awarded a penalty when Paddy Lane was hauled down in the box. Stacks Captain Greg Horan took on the responsibility but saw his effort saved brilliantly by Sean O’Luing. Ruairi O’Beaglaoich put An Ghaetacht back in front with a huge point from distance, which was quickly canceled out by a Paddy Lane free.

Neither side could seem to pull away from the other as Daniel Kirby and Paddy Lane picked up two more points for the home side, but each were cancelled out by Dara O’Se for the visitors.

With five minutes remaining Austin Stacks went back in-front when Paddy Lane knocked over a free into the wind which the home side hoped would be enough for the win especially when An Ghaeltacht were reduced to 14 men after Brian O’Beaghlaoich picked up his second yellow card of the game.

However, the men from the West showed their never say die character and in the 64th minute Cathal O’Beaglaoich kicked a monster score to bring us level again. Both sides had chances in the remaining five minutes of injury time but neither could get a winner which lets Group A finely balanced going into next weekend's final group matches.

Kerry Petroleum Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Football Club Championship Group C, Venue: Fossa, (Round 2), Fossa 1-18 Castleisland Desmonds 0-16
Emmett O’Shea opened the scoring with a long-range point after two minutes before Desmonds replied with a Graham O’Conner free in the 4th minute. David Clifford kicked a free and a point from play by Emmett O’Shea pushed Fossa ahead again before the accurate Graham O’Connor replied for Desmonds. It was real championship football at this stage, both sides went at it and there were some super passages of attacking play. Dayid Clifford kicked a monster point and Paudie Clifford landed two fabulous efforts to give Fossa a four point lead at the 13th minute mark. Luka Brosnan hit two fine points from midfield for Desmonds and a Thomas Hickey free kept them in touch, Paudie Clifford was having a storming game and he set David up for two points with deft passes from the middle of the field. The decisive score in this game came in the 29th minute, a brilliant 30-yard pass from Cian O’Shea into David Clifford resulted in a fantastic goal to give Fossa a healthy lead at the break, 1-08 to 0-07.
The high tempo was kept up by both sides in the second half’ Isaac Brosnan kicked a point for Desmonds in the 3rd minute, Emmett O’Shea and Matt Rennie replied with two quick points for Fossa, Graham O’Connor kicked a free for Desmonds before two excellent Cian O’Shea points restored Fossa’s advantage by the 15th minute. Desmonds needed a response and driven forward by Adam Donoghue, they chipped away at the lead with frees from Graham O’Connor and points from Isaac Brosnan, Luka Brosnan, Domnic Finnegan and Brian Leonard. David Clifford showed all his guile and class with some tremendous movement and scores to keep Fossa ahead, they led by two points with time almost up. Desmonds pushed hard for a goal and nearly got it when a shot hit the inside of the post but stayed out, Michael O’Dwyer scored a great point after some neat build up play and then Cian O’Shea had a brilliant interception as Desmonds attacked again, he passed to Matt Rennie who gave a pinpoint left footed pass to David Clifford who sealed the win for Fossa with his ninth point of the game.

Kerry Petroleum Kerry Petroleum Junior Premier Football Club Championship Group B, Venue: Cromane, (Round 1), Ballymacelligott 0-12 Reenard 0-11

Report:

The Ballymacelligott senior team and management travelled to Cromane last Saturday evening to play Renard in the first round of the Kerry Petroleum Premier Junior Championship 2024. The management and squad worked hard all season. In Kerry, the Championship is everything at inter-county and club level. The Club Championship is the season's highlight for every club, and Saturday last was a big game.
It was a challenging start for the Ballymac team as they had to line out without six key players who had played in the Premier Junior Final last October. Their absence was felt, but the players who started were determined to give their best.
The match began with Renard opening the scoring with a point, swiftly followed by a fine point from Ballymac's Donal Daly, levelling the game.
Donagh Quinlan added another for the South Kerry side. Michéal Reidy levelled the game for Ballymac, and Aidan Breen added another to give Ballymac the lead after five minutes of play.
Renard continued playing against the stiff breeze, and Donagh Quinlan levelled the game with a point from a free.
With 15 minutes left in the first half, two fine points from Michéal Reidy gave Ballymac the lead again. Cromane scored their last point of the half from a free. Before the whistle blew, Ballymac added three more from Aidan Breen (f), Micheál Reidy, and James Kenny.
The Half Time score: Ballymacelligott 0-9 to Renard 0-5.
Brendan Kelly opened the scoring for Renard in the second half with a point from play. Two points from frees followed for both teams: Ballymac's from Aidan Breen and Renard's from Donagh Quinlan. The next ten minutes saw a lot of play, but neither team registered a score.
With fifteen minutes to go, Renard scored a mighty point from James O'Sullivan's free kick. The score was Ballymac 0-10 to Renard 0-8. Aidan Breen extended the Ballymac lead by a point from a free. Renard's never-say-die attitude showed them working hard, and they added two points.
It was now a one-point game. Aidan Breen scored a point from a free, and Fintan O'Sullivan scored a point from play for Renard. The referee blew the whistle. Ballymac had won the game by a point.
Final Score: Ballymacelligott 0-12 Renard 0-11.
