INTERMEDIATE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP: Farranfore is the venue this Sunday, August 13th, for the opening game in the Intermediate Club Championship. Currow provide the opposition for the 2pm throw-in with the second round pencilled in August 20th. Kilcummin defeated Laune Rangers in Beaufort this past weekend so the winner of our game will face the Killorglin side in Round 2 with the loser facing Kilcummin.

LADIES UPDATE: The first of the County League semi-finals for our two under 14 teams took place this evening. The

Division 3 team made the short trip out the road to take on Fossa on a lovely evening for a game of football. A close game ensued with the result in the balance right up to the final whistle. The home side got into their groove earlier and were on top in the opening 10 minutes. The two teams exchanged scores throughout the opening period in a very open and free flowing contest and just one point separated the sides at the break. The second half mirrored the first and the two evenly matched teams continued to trade scores throughout. Both sides were strong defensively and each score was hard earned. With 5 minutes remaining the sides were deadlocked, but we dug deep to fashion two late scores to edge ahead at the final whistle. Well played to all the girls and thanks to Fossa for a sporting game and to the referee who officiated on the night. The team advances to a final against Kilcummin which will be played in the coming weeks. Final score...Fossa 3-05, Killarney Legion 3-07. Well done to our U16 Ladies who qualified for the County League Final, Division 3, after winning their semifinal with a convincing performance against Beaufort in Direen last Wednesday. Playing with a strong wind in the first half it took them a while to settle with Beaufort taking control of the game early on and kicking early points. As the half wore on though, our Girls found their form and scored a crucial well taken goal just before half time to lead at the break by 1-07 to 0-03. Having been urged for a big effort in the second half they did not disappoint and despite playing against the wind they put in a sterling defensive performance before eventually running out winners on a scoreline of 3-16 to 0-04. Thanks to Beaufort for a sporting game and to referee Sean Courtney. The final has been fixed for Wednesday Aug 16th with the venue and opposition to be confirmed.
