Club Notes Week 23 2022   13/06/2022

Co. League Div. 1 Dr.Crokes 1-13 Spa 0-10. Our Senior team recorded another win in the County League with victory over Spa on Sunday last. Spa started the brighter with two early points, one a free and the other from play. Mark O’Shea then opened the scoring for Crokes in the 10th minute. Both teams were equally matched and scores were even at half time. A well taken goal by Daithi Casey in the 7th minute of the second half gave us a 1-8 to 0-8 lead. With a good defensive display, we pushed on from there and finished comfortable winners. Our next outing will be at home to Gneeveguilla on June 26th.  

Co. League Div. 3 Dr.Crokes 0-11 Skellig Rangers 3-13. A slow start for our Senior B team resulted in two early goals for the visitors. It was always going to be a tough battle from there. The boys worked hard leaving the two early goals the difference between the sides at half time. We battled until the very end but unfortunately the two elusive goals that we needed did not materialised and we fell up sort at the final whistle. The score line does not reflect on the players who all put in a great effort and never gave up. With 3 senior teams out on the same day it was always going to be a difficult task to field our strongest team.  

Co. League Div. 6  Dr.Crokes 1-14 Fossa B 1-9. Our Senior C team recorded a good win at home to Fossa on Sunday.  

U14 Girls had an excellent win on Sunday night against a very good Firies side coming out 6-8 to 1-4 winners. Annie Brosnan and Siofra Randles were dominant in the middle of the field with Aoife O’Donoghue, Vanessa Karavanova and Ciara Mulcahy putting in very strong performances in defense. Keva McCarthy, Bethany Byrne and Miren O’Connor kept the scoreboard ticking over. All the hard work and training over the last few months is showing as our girls are improving in every game. Well done to the girls and their coaches.   

Our U10 girls took part in a Kerry LGFA blitz in Fossa on Sunday afternoon. A great day was had by all with plenty of game time for our young players. They were delighted to meet Kerry star Danielle O’Leary who was happy to pass on a few tips. Thanks to Fossa for hosting.
