Club Notes, 28th March 2022.

 ON THE FIELD   Commiserations to Shane Murphy, Tony Brosnan,  Miceal Burns  Gavin White and Kerry side that  lost to Tyrone  and best wishes to them in next Sundays final v Mayo.  

Minor Co. League This was our first outing of the year and unfortunately we lost out to a very strong Laune Rangers side on a scoreline of 1-11 to 0-7 pts on a lovely Saturday in JP O Sullivan Park. Rangers have 100% record with 4 wins, so this was a brave and spirited display. Unfortunately we were dealt with two big blows prior to the game with the losses of Jack O Sullivan and Alex Hennigan and we struggled to find scores as easy as our opposition. Rangers raced into an early 3 point lead and a goal midway through the first half left them ahead at the break on a scoreline of 1-6 to 3pts. The highlight of the 1st being a monster score from Mark Sheehan. We improved in the second half and with the aid of a strong breeze we reduced the deficit to 3pts at one stage but just ran out of steam in the finish. Best on the day were Kacper Robak, who made 2 outstanding saves, Maidhci Lynch, Robbie Harnett, Neil O Carroll and Shay O Meara. 

Score Shay O Meara 0-3 (2f) Maidhci Lynch 0-2 Mark Sheehan 0-1 Neil O Carroll 0-1
