Weekly Notes 16th of December

O'Donoghue Cup Final
Played in Fitzgerald Stadium
Killarney Legion 1-18 Dr Crokes 3-6
In a game in which we were outplayed for most of the sixty minutes we surrendered the O'Donoghue Cup which we won last year to our neighbours Killarney Legion. In two of our opponents domination periods, the five minutes before half time and the first six minutes of the second half they outscored us nine points to nil. These were the defining periods of the game but we played second fiddle to our opponents for most of the match.
Scores were slow to come at the start of the game with the teams exchanging points on two occasions in the first ten minutes. Legion got on top in the next ten minutes and went into a five points to three lead. We had a point in the 22nd minute but our opponents had four points without reply to go into a half time lead, 0-9 to 0-4.
The second defining period pf the game came at the start of the second half when our opponents went into a winning lead when they sent over five unanswered points for a ten point lead. We tried hard to the end and outscored our opponents goal wise by three majors to one. Legion however in these twenty minutes had five points to our two for a 1-18 to 3-6 victory.
We were just not good enough on the day and Congratulations to our opponents on a well-deserved victory.
This team owes us nothing. In this decade they have won seven Senior County Championships, Five Munster Championships, an All Ireland Title and five O'Donoghue Cups. We also had several wins in the Club Championship and Division 1 of the County League.
We will have no game for three months as the County League starts in Mid March and this team will relish this good rest.
