County League Division 1 - Round 7
Played in Lewis Road on Saturday 16th of June
Killarney Legion 1-11 Dr Crokes 0-19
In a game which was a shootout from the start to finish with neither side employing sweepers, we ran out in the end winners by five points.
We enjoyed a territorial advantage in the first half and would have to be pleased with our score of twelve points at the interval. Our opponents with far less chances managed 1-3 in this first half. This left them six points in arrears but with everything to play for in the second half.
Legion were well on top in the first ten minutes of the second half, adding on three points without reply in this period. They were also denied a goal by our keeper Johnny O'Leary who mad a great save in the 38th minute. We had three unanswered points in the next five minutes to leave us six points ahead again as we entered the last quarter. Both teams exchanged points on a few occasions in the last fifteen minutes. Our opponents did get the deficit down to four points at one stage but we had the last score, a point in injury time. This gave us victory by five points.
Both managements were probably happy enough with the displays of their team. I was happy that we had a good team display with outstanding individual displays by Johnny Buckley and Tony Brosnan. Our mentors might have been disappointed that we hardly created any goal scoring chances.
