Club Notes Week 34 2025

Club Championship
Dr. Crokes 1:14 Rathmore 0:15. Our Senior Footballers showed great grit and determination as they overcame Rathmore by the narrowest of margins, with a late Alex Hennigan goal proving decisive in an enthralling East Kerry clash. The contest was tight throughout. Playing against a breeze in the opening half, we edged a 0:06 to 0:05 lead at the break. A fine second half 2-pointer from David Shaw, and the experience of Brian Looney and Tony Brosnan (who shared 8 point between them) helped to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Trailing by 2 with just 5 minutes remaining, we defended well and kept our composure. The breakthrough came in the 57th minute when super sub Alex Hennigan latched on to a high ball in from Gavin O’Shea and drove the ball passed Shane Ryan in the Rathmore goal. Our opposition pushed hard for an equaliser, however the scoreboard remained in our favour. Our club championship campaign continues with either a quarter final or semi final place
 
EK Junior League Final
Dr. Crokes 1:18 Rathmore 1:08. We claimed the East Kerry Junior League with a commanding 10-point win over Rathmore. After early wides from both sides, it was Liam Kelliher who opened the scoring in the 10th minute. The key moment of the half came in the 25th minute when Aodhan Burns stuck the ball into the back of the Rathmore net. By the break, we led 1:06 to 0:03. We pushed on in the second half with fine scores from Aodhan Burns, Liam Kelliher, Kacper Robak, Brendan Falvey and Sean Fitzgerald. Rathmore battled hard and grabbed a late goal in the 25th minute of the second half. The strength and depth of our lads proved decisive as they ran out deserving winners

Club Championship
 
Dr. Crokes 2:14 Spa 0:13. Dr Crokes marked the return of six Kerry stars with a gritty win over Spa in the Senior Club Championship. Gavin O’Shea set the tone early, rifling to the net in the 4th minute. Spa hit back with a run of points, but Tony Brosnan’s accuracy and David Shaw’s hard work saw Crokes edge ahead 1-6 to 0-8 at half-time. Tony Brosnan opened the second-half scoring before Brian Looney and Evan Cronin kept the scoreboard ticking. The game’s turning point came midway through the half. David Shaw clipped over before Cian McMahon buried a superb goal to give us some breathing space. Tony Brosnan added another to cap a strong team performance, sealing an important victory on the road.

LGFA

Donal Curtin Cup Final Dr Crokes senior ladies made history on Monday last when they competed in the Division 1 Donal Curtin Cup for the first time ever. We were dealt an early blow with the loss of the ever-reliable Liz Moloney through injury after just 6 minutes. The open quarter was a cagey affair with both teams making several errors and it took until the 14th minute for Amanda Brosnan to open the scoring, soon followed by a pointed free from Rheanne O’Shea. Na Gael opened their scoring with a goal after 17 minutes but they were finding it difficult to breakthrough our defence, led by Karena O’Leary, Megann Kiely and Siobhan Burns. Further points from Treasa O Sullivan, Amanda Brosnan, Siobhan Burns and Rheanne O Shea and a great finish to the net from Seodhna O Donoghue, saw us lead by 1.7 to 1.1 approaching half time. However, a second Na Gael goal just before half team saw us lead by just three at the break. Na Gael reduced the deficit to 2 points shortly after the restart but we quickly settled and Lillie Foley, Ali O Donoghue and Siofra Randles defended superbly, making some crucial tackles and turnovers. A brilliantly worked team move which started with goalkeeper Ava Sheehan, who was outstanding throughout, worked its way up to Leah Mc Mahon who finished to the net. Then came the score of the game. Christine Cooper took possession on our own 45 metre line and weaved through the Na Gael defence, shaking off several tackles, before unleashing an unstoppable shot to the bottom left hand corner of the net, giving us a 3.8 to 1.3 lead. With Julie Delaney and Casey O Donoghue linking well between defence and attack, we closed out the game with further scores from Amanda Brosnan, leading to a first ever division 1 ladies title at senior level. In her winning speech, captain Siobhan Burns passed on thoughts and sympathies to the family of the late Isabelle O Callaghan.
