Kerry Petroleum Junior Football Club Championship Group C
Fri, 09 Aug, Venue: Finuge GAA Club, (Round 2), Cromane 1-9 Finuge 0-9
REPORT:
Cromane stormed home for a vital championship win in north Kerry on Friday evening.
Trailing by 0-8 to 0-6 with ten minutes of normal time remaining the Cromane side put the foot down to play their best football during a damp evening in Finuge.
A series of Cromane points from Darren Houlihan (two, one a free) and Tony Duffy were split by a Jamie Galvin free for the home side to leave the sides level at 0-9 apiece entering the last few minutes of a game which was close throughout but lacked real quality.
Then, two minutes from the end of normal time, came the score that settled matters.
Cromane teenager Jack McGrath won the ball outside the 21-yard line, swivelled inside his marker, slalomed towards goal and slammed a shot to the Finuge net. This gave Cromane their biggest lead of the evening (1-9 to 0-9) and one they held on to despite the nine minutes of injury time.
To start Cromane dominated for large periods, but their shooting was wayward. Finuge, on the other hand, took their chances in a very low-scoring first half. After 25 minutes the home side led by 0-3 to 0-1 with Jamie Galvin (two frees) and Darren O’Brien scoring. Cromane then hit a mini purple patch with scores from two Darren Houlihan frees and a lovely point after a jinking run from Jason O’Connor to give Cromane a 0-4 to 0-3 lead at the break.
Finuge were the better side in the early part of the second half with Jamie Galvin hitting four points (three frees) and midfielder Darragh Shanahan converted a '45' superbly to give the North Kerry men a 0-8 to 0-6 lead with ten minutes remaining.
Finuge looked like the more likely winner at this juncture, but that was the cue for Cromane’s match-winning surge with McGrath’s goal proving to be the difference between the two sides.

Fri, 09 Aug, Venue: Ballymacelligott, (Round 2), Ballymacelligott 3-13 Churchill 2-9
REPORT:
It was an excellent evening for football in Ballymacelligott on Friday when Ballymac hosted Churchill in a crucial Round 2 clash of Group 2 of the Junior Club Championship.
The game kicked off with a bang for Ballymac, who swiftly netted two goals before the lotto sellers could even pack up. The home team held onto their lead until the final whistle, despite a spirited second-half performance by Churchill that saw them outscore Ballymac. But those two early goals were a tough mountain to climb.
Aidan Breen opened the scoring with a point, followed by a goal. Aidan was involved again with Donal Daly to help Vinnie Horan score another. Donal Daly popped over a point, and Ballymac were 2-02 in the lead with eight minutes on the clock. Donal Daly scored another point before Churchill's Darragh O'Sullivan opened the scoring for Churchill. Both Donal Daly and Darragh O'Sullivan scored a point for their sides. Michael Herlihy and Michéal Reidy added a point each for Ballymac. Churchill added a point just before Aidan Breen dispossessed Churchill on the ground and walked the ball into the back of the net. Churchill scored their last point of the half before Ballymac added two points from Captain Vinnie Horan.
The Half Time score: Ballymacelligott 3-07 Churchill 0-4
Daragh Regan's point opened the scoring for Ballymac in the second half. Darragh O'Sullivan followed with the opening point for Churchill. Two Points from Michael Herlihy and Daragh Regan extended Ballymac's lead from 3-08 to 0-5 with 23 minutes left to full-time. Churchill scored a point from Ivan Parker, and Darragh O'Sullivan hit the back of the net to bring Churchill's score to 1-06. Vinnie Horan and Niall Collins
added two points for Ballymac. Darragh O'Sullivan and Vinnie Horan added a point for each of their teams. With 10 minutes left, the score was Ballymac 3-12 Churchill 1-09. In the 28th minute, Churchill was awarded a penalty, and Darragh O'Sullivan scored a goal. This was Churchill's last score of the game. Maurice O'Connell scored the final point for Ballymac.
