Club Notes Week 41 2022   17/10/2022

East Kerry Minor Championship Dr. Crokes 2-09 Kenmare Shamrocks 2-07 (AET). Our U17 team fought hard in difficult conditions to be crowned the 2022 East Kerry Champions. Playing against a strong wind in front of a large crowd, we got off to a slow start trailing 0-01 to 1-05 at the half time break. We started the second half with a Neil O’Carroll point from the throw in. 5 minutes later, Kasper Robak made a great save however Kenmare were quicker to react and knocked the rebound into the back of the Crokes net. With the game beginning to slip away we threw everything at Kenmare, scoring the next 2 points from play. In the 17th minute Shay O’Meara scored the crucial goal that we had been waiting for. Our best bit of football came in the final quarter with brilliant points from Shay O’Meara, Alex Hennigan and Neil O’Carroll. With time up, and everyone up the pitch, Neil O’Carroll floated the ball high into the Kenmare goal mouth where Jack O’Sullivan soared over everyone to flick the ball in to the back of the Kenmare net leaving the scoreboard reading 2-08 to 2-07. After much confusion the referee indicated extra time. The only two points in extra time came from the Crokes forward line in the first half. Our boys showed great character to come back from being 9 points down to win by two. Huge credit must be given to both the team and management for never giving up.
