U12 Camogie
There was a great start to the County league for our under 12 camogie team as they came out on top of a tight game with Killarney last Monday evening. Our girls started the game well, but back came Killarney, and it took some last ditch defending to secure the win. Plenty of improvement is needed, but a great start.
The girls train on Fridays in Caherslee from 6 to 7pm and new players are always welcome to come and try camogie.

Senior Hurling
On Wednesday evening the 26th of April Tralee Parnells were on the road down south to take on Kilgarvan in Round 2 of Div 2 Co League. A good battle and a tight affair is always anticipated when these two teams face off. And on Wednesday evening that is exactly what was served up to us. Kilgarvan opened the scoring with a free. Then after that it only took parnells 4 minutes to raise the green flag thanks to quick thinking from Darragh Reen who took a quick free while the Kilgarvan defence were caught lacking as he rattled the back of the net. For the rest of the first half the home side took control and converted a further nine points. At the short whistle Kilgarvan lead by five. Half time Kilgarvan 0-10 Tralee Parnells 1-2. Kilgarvan came out the of the blocks the faster to begin the second period but a never say die attitude from the tralee men kept them in with a fighting chance. Coming down the final stretch Kilgarvan led by 2. Parnells never gave up and with a minute and a half of normal time remaining Darragh Reen played a side line short as far as Eddie Sheehy who gave a short pass back to Reen to put over an inspirational score to reduce the margin to the bare minimum. Kilgarvan hit a wide which gave Parnells one last chance to salvage something from this game. Mark Ryall went long with the puck out and the ball broke to Eddie Sheehy who bombed forward and split the posts to level the game in the 61st minute. Full time Tralee Parnells 1-14 Kilgarvan 0-17. Thanks to Eugene stack for reffereing. A well-earned draw after a great team performance. The team are still unbeaten after 2 rounds.
Team: Mark Ryall, Rory Reen, Tadgh Reen, Stephen Morrissey (0-1), Timmy Kelliher, Ruarí O’Sullivan (0-1f), Darragh Keane, Darragh Reen (1-10, 1-5f), Eddie Sheehy(0-1), Oisín O’Brien (0-1) , Darragh Maloney, Barry Lyons, Andrew Morrissey, Ronan Gilsenan (0-1), Cillian Litchfield
