SHL Tralee Parnells 1-18  Dr. Crokes 1-9. While this was our third successive defeat we raised our performance levels both in terms of commitment and intensity. Colm O'Cuiv struck the right note from the very off with a monstrous point from the middle of the park. It was nip and tuck between the two teams throughout a hectic first half. Deputising for the injured Mark Hefferrnan, Davy Carroll pilfered four points from frees.  His tally was added to by a marauding Conor O'Hare who repeatingly drove at the Parnells' defence. Alas, tragedy struck on the stroke of half time when the hosts goaled from a very fortuitous free. This score came against the run of play and left us trailing by two points at the break. Worse was to follow when illness forced Conor O'Hare to retire before the resumption.  Facing an uphill struggle we remained on our opponents coattails and looked like springing a surprise when Davy Carroll drilled a free to the top corner of the net. However, Parnells deeper panel, not to mention their three County players, gradually swung the balance in their favour.  It should be noted for the record that while Parnells were able to draw on all their resources we were denied the services of our County players but that is not to take from the wholehearted contribution of those who lined out. Our next fixture is on Friday 12th of April at home to Abbeydorney.
