County Championship Dr. Crokes 1:17 Rathmore 2:09. Our Senior Footballers secured their place in the County Championship Semi Final with a good win over Rathmore in the Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday last. Played in poor conditions, we started the better, with Gavin O’Shea opening the scoring in the first minute. Two minutes later Tony Brosnan was unlucky not to raise the green flag after a super effort on goal. It was half way through the half when Rathmore got their first of two goals, after a fantastic save from Shane Murphy. In typical Crokes fashion, this only pushed us on further and we scored three consecutive points from the boots of Tony Brosnan, Micheal Burns and David Shaw. In the 25th minute David Shaw was taken down inside the small square and Tony Brosnan converted from the penalty spot, giving us a 1:08 to 1:02 lead at the break. We took control early on in the first half, with score from Cian McMahon, Tony Brosnan and Evan Looney. Shane Murphy, was once again forced to make a number of brilliant saves, to keep us well ahead for much of the half. Rathmore continued to put it up to us, battling hard and eventually raising a second green flag in injury time. We now take on St. Brendan’s on Saturday at 5pm in Austin Stack Park.

Mid Kerry responded well with a goal of their own just 2 minutes later. We went in leading 1:10 to 1:04 at the break.

Kenmare replied a minute later, with their first score of the game, a goal from Seanie O’Shea. Shane Murphy had made a brilliant save to firstly deny the goal but it was the rebound that found the back of the net. Keeping our opposition scoreless for the next 18 minutes we clocked up some fine points, leaving the scoreboard reading 4 points to 1 goal after 19 minutes. It was in the 27th minutes of the game that Tony Brosnan was brought down inside the small square and converted from the penalty spot to give us a 1:05 to 1:03 lead at the break. The second half was as entertaining as the first with both teams trading points and Shane Murphy pulling off some fantastic saves to keep us leading for the entire half.

Senior Club Final Dr. Crokes 1:15 Dingle 0:11. After a fantastic team performance all over the field we secured our 11th Senior Club Championship title over Dingle on Sunday last. Having conceded the first point of the game, we responded in typical Crokes fashion, replying with 1:04 over the next 10 minutes, and keeping our opposition scoreless. That said goal came from the boot of birthday boy Cian McMahon after a fantastic long ball in from Tom Doyle. We were unlucky not to add another goal to our tally in the 19th minute when Gavin O’Shea’s goal effort was narrowly cleared off the goal line. 10 minutes later, and in similar fashion, Fionn Fitzgerald cleared the Crokes goal line to deny Dingle a goal of their own. We went in leading 1:07 to 0:05 at the break. The second half played out much like the first with impressive scoring and solid defending we ran out deserving winners. Tony Brosnan received the Man of the Match award having kicked 9 points. Next up is the County Championship in two weeks time.

Senior Club Championship Dr. Crokes 1:15 Rathmore 2:10. After a very entertaining game in front of a large crowd in Rathbeg, we secured our place in the Senior Club Final.  We took control of the game from early on, keeping our opponents scoreless for the first 7 minutes of the game. Our opening score came from the boot of Cian McMahon. Mark O’Shea put on a fantastic display of fielding from the middle of the pitch from start to finish. In the 15th minute, Mark caught a brilliant ball from the Rathmore kick out, he played it in to David Shaw who worked extremely well to pass the ball off to Tony Brosnan who finished the ball in to the back of the net. We led comfortably at the break 1:09 to 0:03. We continued to control the beginning of second half, with a Charlie Keating goal opportunity narrowly missing the target. We held a comfortable lead, until the remaining 5 minutes of the game. Rathmore hit 1:02 in the space of a minute and a half to narrow the gap to just 3 points. With 6 minutes of injury time played we secured the win, and a place in our second final of the year. It was great to see the reintroduction of a number of players to the panel. We now face Dingle in the Final on September 1st in Austin Stack Park.

Both teams were evenly matched for the first half, trading scores and defending well. The first half finished level with 6 points each. We seemed to control the second half, having a number of goal opportunities throughout the half. We eventually got that goal we had been threatening through Cian McMahon, after a well worked ball in.

Senior Club Championship Dr. Crokes 0:17 Miltown Castlemaine 0:06. We welcomed Miltown Castlemaine to Lewis Road last Saturday evening where we put on a great display of second half football to keep them scoreless until the 1st minute of injury time. It was our opponents who started the game livelier, scoring the opening two points of the game. It wasn’t until the 10th minute of the game that we got our first score through a Tom Doyle point from play. We pushed on from there and swapped scores for much of the half. We went in leading at half time on a scoreline of 6 points to 5 points. We dominated the second half and saw some fine scoring from Tony Brosnan, Fionn Fitzgerald, Alex Hennigan, Mark O’Shea and David Shaw. Credit must be given to the backlines who kept our opponents scoreless for the majority of the half. Next up we face Na Gaeil away next Saturday at 4pm in the last group game.

Senior Club Championship Dr. Crokes 2:14 Dingle 3:17. We travelled to Tralee on Saturday evening where we fell short to our west Kerry opponents. We got off to a fantastic start with a beautiful goal from Mark Fitzgerald in the opening 2 minutes. It was in the 28th minute that Dingle got their own maximum through a Paul Geaney goal, which left us trailing 1:05 to 1:09 at the break. The second half proved more challenging than the first when Dingle came out all guns blazing. Another Dingle goal early in to the half, and various Crokes injuries meant that it was going to be a tough battle to get on top of our oppositions. Kieran O’Leary struck a bullet into the back of the Dingle goal to narrow the margin ever so slighly. unfortunately the gap was too much and Dingle ranout winners in the end. Next up is Miltown Castlemaine at home at 7pm on Saturday 3rd July.
