Weekly Notes 29th of July

County League Division 1 Round 10 

Dr Crokes 3-19 NaGaeil 2-6 

Played in Lewis Road on Saturday 27th of July 

In a game in which we probably lined out with our strongest team in this year's County League Division 1 resulted in a convincing win for us on a score of 3-19 to 2-6. In fairness to NaGaeil they were missing a number of influential players and would probably not have the strength in depth that we have to replace these players. 

Despite the first half been keenly contested our opponents had a lot of missed chances. We took a lot of our scoring opportunities and went in at half time twelve points in front. 

In the second half there was still plenty of up and down play. Both sides scored two goals and we won the second half by just four points 2-9 to 2-5. This gave us a victory on a score of 3-19 to 2-6. 

This increases our points difference by sixteen points and whether this gives us a chance of contesting the final of the competition will depend on the final round results. 

We have been able to give plenty of game time to many of our younger players in the competition and many of them will be challenging for places on our County Championship team.

Minors Dr Crokes 1-14 Firies 1-09 

On a lovely evening for football Dr Crokes minors took on their Firies counterparts in the East Kerry League. 

Crokes began with the aid of a breeze and with our forwards moving well, created some very good chances. Our goal came half way through the half with a great team move finished to the net by Padraic Looney. HT Dr Crokes 1-12 Firies 0-04 

The second half began quiet well for us but we didn’t convert the chances we created. Firies came into the game more as the half progressed and scored some great points to close the gap. With 10 mins to go Firies scored a goal to pressurise us but we steadied and ran out comfortable winners with a final score of 1-14 to 1-09  

Team: Adam Kelly, Evan Looney, Mark Cooper, Gerard Cronin, Adam o Connell, Mark Clifford, Killian Hickey, Michael Lenihan, Harry Potts, Gary o Connor, Padraic Looney, Godwin Osieba, Sean Megann, Lorcan Martin and Arron Brennan.
