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
