Senior Club Championship Semi Final Dr. Crokes 0:17 Kenmare 1:09. We booked our place in the Senior Club Final with a hard-fought victory over Kenmare. It was Kenmare who opened the scoring before points from David Shaw and 2 from Billy Courtney (45’s) edged us in front after just 7 minutes. We kept Kenmare scoreless for the next 10 minutes with further points from Tom Doyle, Tony Brosnan (3) and Gavin O’Shea. We finished the half strong and went in leading 0:11 to 0:04 at the break. Our opposition came out fighting in the second half, with their corner forward finding the back of the net in the opening play of the half. Our response however was immediate with points from Cian McMahon and Tony Brosnan (2) to re-establish control. David Shaw and Tony Brosnan continued to cause problems for the Kenmare defense, with Micheal Burns also contributing to the tally. We now face Na Gaeil in the Club Final on September 14th in Austin Stack Park at 3:30pm.

Legion came of the blocks quickly, scoring an early 2 pointer to take the lead. Ben Kelleher responded with a free in the 6th minute of play. Another 2-pointer from the visitors saw us trail 0:05 to 0:07 at the break. We began the second half on the front foot with Ben Kelleher kicking 2 2-pointers inside the first 3 minutes of play. Legion however hit back quickly with a goal and a point to push them back in front. Points from Mark O’Carroll, Liam Hennigan and Ben Kelleher kept us within touching distance.
