Club Notes, 31st March 2025.

SFL Div. 1 Dr. Crokes 0:14 Rathmore 3:07. It was always going to be a tough weekend, fielding 3 senior teams on the same day, while also being down a number of players due to county commitments and injury. We started brightly, getting on the scoreboard within the first 30 seconds thanks to a well taken point by David Shaw. David Shaw Struck again in the 9th minute to double his tally, but soon after Rathmore capitalised on a high ball into the square, leading to their first goal of the game. Despite this, we continued to push forward, with several attacks leading to missed opportunities. A 45 from Billy Courtney in the 20th minute kept us in touch. Alex Hennigan converted a crucial point at the end of the first half to leave us trail 0:05 to 1:04 at the break. The second half started with a flurry of action, with Rathmore extending their lead early on. Alex Hennigan quickly responded with a well taken point before Billy Courtney added the first 2 pointer of the game to the scoreboard. The game remained fairly balanced with both teams exchanging scores. Two crucial Rathmore goals in the 49th and 50th minutes meant that we had to work harder to reduce the deficit. A Brian Looney point and a Billy Courtney 2 pointer closed the gap to just two points. This however was a little too late and it was Rathmore who took the points. 

LGFA Div. 1 Dr. Crokes 1:16 Rathmore 0:04. Our senior ladies also faced Rathmore this weekend. It was fantastic to see Kayleigh Cronin lining out in midfield despite playing in a tough game against Dublin the previous day. In what could be her last appearance in a Dr. Crokes Jersey for the foreseeable future, Kayleigh led from the front, putting in numerous tackles and interceptions and providing a solid link between defense and attack while also chipping in with a point. In a very good team performance, we had 9 different scorers, including points from Seodhna O'Donoghue, Holly Power, Selina Collins, Ava Sheehan, Casey O'Donoghue, Treasa O'Sullivan and a goal from Julie Delaney. Goalkeeper Jess Leahy pulled off a number of great saves and some excellent defensive play from Rocha Clifford, Christine Cooper and Lillie Foley saw us run put comfortable winner. Next up is Scartaglen next Sunday.
