SFL Div. 5 Our B side continued their impressive form in division 5 of the County League with a comprehensive win against Gneeveguilla B. This result means that we have secured promotion to division 4 for next season but all focus will now be on trying to win the league title. Fielding a strong team we played with the elements and three first half goals by Liam Kelleher, Brendan Falvey and Aodhan Burns aided by some fine two pointers by Dara O Shea meant that we went in at half time with a healthy lead. We were never threatened in the second half and the players deserve a lot of credit for the manner in which they have played all year long. Next up is a long trip to Valentia next weekend to play the Islanders in a back game.

SHL Div. 2 Final Dr. Crokes 1:15, Lady’s Walk 1:12. Our Senior Hurlers claimed the Credit Union County Hurling League Division 2 title after a gruelling encounter against a determined Lady’s Walk side, requiring extra-time in difficult conditions in Fitzgerald Stadium on Monday afternoon. Following consistent, winning performances throughout the League, they overcame Abbeydorney in the Semi-Final in Lewis Road last week, with extra-time required to separate the sides. Full-time (AET) score: Dr. Crokes 2-12, Abbeydorney 0-16. Fitzgerald Stadium was the venue for the County Final on Monday afternoon which again went to extra-time against a resolute Lady’s Walk side.

LGFA Donal Curtin Cup Dr Crokes senior ladies welcomed Na Gaeil to Lewis Road in Round 5 of the Donal Curtin Cup. With just one defeat, Na Gaeil were top of the table and they got off to a great start with 1:02 inside the first four minutes. However, we quickly settled and led by the returning Leah McMahon and Rheanne O’Shea after their exploits with St. Paul’s, as well as a superb goal from Megan Kiely, we led by 6 points at half time. A brilliant save from Jess Leahy and solid defending from Karena O Leary, Rosin Doherty and Liz Moloney saw us build on our lead and run out comfortable winners. We then travelled to Beaufort in a must win game to qualify for the semifinals. With goals from Seodhna O’Donoghue, Christine Cooper, Ava Sheahan and Claudia O’Donoghue as well as a fine second half display in goals by Emily Coleman, we ran out winners on a scoreline of 6:06 to 2:07. All panel members contributed significantly to the two victories and we now play Cromane in an away semifinal on the 23rd June.

SFL Div.1 Dr. Crokes 1:13 Kerins O’Rahillys 1:14. A lively encounter with Kerins O’Rahillys served up plenty of drama, scores and cards. It was the Tralee side that opened the scoring in the 3rd minute before the impressive David Shaw struck a 2 pointer on 5 minutes. minutes later Mikey Casey created a goal chance, but Cian McMahon was unlucky to send the ball over the bar for a point. A David Shaw point and a Billy Courtney 2 pointer kept the scoreboard ticking over just before the interval. Half time Dr. Crokes 0:08 Kerins O’Rahillys 0:04. David Shaw opened the second half with a free. Momentum swung in favour of our opposition, who added a point and a 2 pointer in a number of minutes. Alex Hennigan was then taken down inside the box, resulting in a penalty which he coolly converted. Rahillys quickly responded with a 2 pointer before capitalising on a lapse in our defense, firing the ball passed Kacper Robak for a crucial goal. David Shaw, Billy Courtney and Alex Hennigan all notched up late scores. We were unlucky not to hit the back of the net after a missed goal chance, that came off the post, along with several wides in the closing stages.

SFL Div. 5 Dr. Crokes 0:24 Lispole 2:10. Our B side continued their unbeaten start to County League Division 5 with a well-deserved away win against an experienced Lispole side. We played against a strong breeze and went in at half time level 0-11 to 2-5. Lispole has used the long direct ball in the first half, and it caused plenty of difficulties for us but when we got to grips with this we settled down and played some very good football. Dara O Shea was the scorer in chief from play and frees. Aided by the elements in the second half we pulled clear with some great scores by Neil O Carroll, Aodhan Burns, Jack O Sullivan and Cian O Neill. Our defence was superbly marshalled by Sean Coppinger and Aaron Murphy. Our next game is next Saturday night at home v St Michael’s Foilmore.

SFL Div. 5 Dr Crokes B 3-19 Kilgarvan 0-10. Our B side continued their unbeaten start to their County League campaign with a convincing win against a young Kilgarvan side. Aided by some additions to the team due to our A side not playing this weekend, we played against a strong wind in the first half and led by 8 at half time. Alex Hennigan and Mikey Casey both showed their senior experience to build up the lead and Erin Moloney’s direct running caused Kilgarvan’s defence plenty of trouble. We extended our lead in the second half helped with the wind and added two more goals, the first a penalty from Alex Hennigan and the second from Lorcan Martin. Our next game is against Lispole away over the Easter weekend.
LGFA Donal Curtin Cup Our senior ladies travelled to Scartaglen for Round 3 of the Donal Curtin Cup. Playing with the aid of a very strong wind, Scartaglen scored a goal in the opening minute and went into an early six-point lead. We gradually grew into the game with Christine Cooper, Megann Kiely and Rocha Clifford carrying the ball well into the breeze and Seodhna O Donoghue and Ava Sheehan showing well in the forwards. However, a second Scartaglen goal just before half time and the loss of Ava Sheehan and Liz Moloney to injury were a big blow. Despite great work from Casey O Donoghue, Ali O Donoghue and Annie Brosnan in the second half we couldn’t make inroads on the scoreboard with Scartaglen proving too strong on the day. Next up is another away trip to Southern Gaels next weekend. We would like to wish Kayleigh Cronin,  Laura O Shea and the Kerry team the best of luck in the League Final next Saturday. Also best of luck to Leah Mc Mahon, Rheanne O Shea, James Fleming and the St Paul’s Basketball  team  in Sundays Super League final.

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.
