20/02/08 East Kerry U21 s/final: Dr. Crokes 4-16 Spa 2-06. we reached the final of the 2008 U21 championship with a comfortable win over neighbours Spa on Sun. last. In a wonderful display of forward play marshalled by Kieran O’Leary showing no ill effects of his previous evenings exploits against Tyrone and Brian Looney covering every blade of grass our forward line were explosive and looked dangerous when in possession. We led 2-2 to 0-01 after ten minutes goals coming from Ruairi Mangan & O’Leary. Points by Looney, Galvin, and Casey and Doolan stretched our lead and when the same player converted a penalty in the 22nd. minute it was game over. Half time score Dr. Crokes 3-08 Spa 0-05. Our opponents began the second half brightly and narrowed the gap with 2 goals the second coming in the 14th minute which proved to be their final score. Any chance of there being an upset was closed when Jamie Doolan found the net in the 18th minute. The game limped on to its inevitable conclusion with further points from Looney(2), Doolan(2), O’Leary (2). Team: Alan Kelly, John Payne, Michael Moloney, Fionn Fitzgerald, David O’Leary, Ian Howard, Gavin Tucker(0-01) Johnny Buckley, Daithi Casey (0-01), Brian Looney (0-05), Ruairi Mangan(0-01) Shane O’Neill, Denis Galvin (0-01, Kieran O’Leary (1-04) Jamie Doolan (2-04). Subs; Philip O’Connor, John Bartlett, Jonathan Clarke. Coiste na Og: 2007 East Kerry U16 Final; Dr. Crokes 3-05 Kilcummin 2-12. We went down to a physically stronger Kilcummin side in the delayed 2007 U16 final. Played at Lewis Road on Sat. last and forced to lineout without the influential Kieran Ward who was injured we opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a wonderful Chris Brady goal after Bryan O`Shea found him with a tremendous cross-field pass. Our opponents levelled matters with three un-answered points. They continued to gain the majority of possession around the middle third of the field and led at half time 1-07 to 1-03. Keith O’Leary & Alex O`Sullivan (2) completed our scoring. During the third quarter we were under the cosh for long periods when our opponents ran into a seven point lead but it is to the credit of our lads that they never gave up and will ruefully regret the 5 missed goal chances which undoubtedly if one or more had been availed of a different result would be of no surprise. On the day Cillian Fitzgerald, Gordon Buckley & sub Chris Lawlor were the pick of our defenders while in the forwards Chris Brady, Keith O’Leary and Alex O`Sullivan were always a threat. Team: James Barry, Sean Coppinger, Eoin Clifton, Cillian Fitzgerald, Gordon Buckley Joseph Keogh, Conor O’Neill, Timmy O’Donoghue P.J.Lawlor, Chris Brady, Keith 0`Leary, Robert Watson, Bryan O`Shea, Alex O`Sullivan, Cian O’Neill. Subs; Chris lawlor, Conor McGill.

his generosity on the night.
