Junior Hurling
Tralee Parnells 4-15 Rathmore 3-26 AET
Our Junior hurlers put up a great performance on Saturday evening in the South Kerry Junior Hurling League Final in Rathbeg, losing out after extra time to the home side. Four cracking goals in the second half of normal time looked to have been enough to get Parnells over the line but a last minute free by Rathmore ensured 20 minutes extra time. A goal in each half of extra time was just enough to get Rathmore over the line. Parnells now have to dust themselves off as they defend their title in the South Kerry Junior Championship semi-final next weekend.
Minor Camogie
Well done to our Minor Camogie team who played Killarney in the County Minor Shield Final at Spa GAA grounds on Sunday morning. After a close first half, Killarney got a few crucial goals in the second half to run out deserving winners. All 17 girls showed determination and a never give up attitude. Each and everyone should be very proud. Well done for the dedication and commitment during this season. Looking for forward to the end of year outing!
