U 14 All Ireland Quarter Final Shield
Kerry 3-2 Midlands League
The KSBGL U14 Boys’ participation in the SFAI Inter-League All Ireland Shield came to a disappointing conclusion after a 3-2 home defeat to Midlands Red. Kerry made a disjointed and timid start, playing into blustery winds in Killarney. Conceding twice to an opposition that looked likely to put the contest to bed well before halftime, the Kerry starting eleven dug deep to stay in the game and then to shift the momentum. Improvements in composure, movement without the ball and control of possession were noticeable as the half wore on. Adam Griffin (Castleisland) and Jimmy McGann (Inter Kenmare) were prominent in Kerry’s revival. Donnacha Vaughan (Killarney Celtic) halved the deficit before halftime and Lúc MacGearilt (Dingle Bay Rovers) brought Kerry level immediately after the break.
The contrast in how Kerry went about their business at the start of each half was very stark. With a completely different intensity and urgency, the unchanged home starting eleven were now forcing their opponents towards their own goal and playing almost entirely in the Midlands half. Like the weather, the game settled, Kerry dominating possession and territory looking to carve out chances in the final third and Midlands sitting deep looking to attack space behind them. Kerry had a warning midway through the second period when a lack of cover in midfield allowed a 1 v1 counterattack from Midlands that they were fortunate not to concede from. Their luck ran out with ten minutes remaining when Midlands again took advantage of Kerry’s over eager positioning and punished the home side with a superb finish. Kerry regrouped, continued to play well and fashioned a superb chance of their own that went agonisingly wide in the final minutes. Despite plenty of positives across the entirety of the game, the Kerry squad and coaches are left to work on making sure mentality and attitude is consistent from first to final whistle in each game until the end of a hugely important season.
