U14 Camogie
Our U14 girls gave an outstanding performance last Sunday to end the season with their second title – U14 Division One Champions! They lead from the start with a huge first half team performance against a determined Causeway side. As expected, Causeway came out strong after the break but Tralee Parnells regrouped and settled themselves to come away with a well deserved victory. Captain Abby Crowley was thrilled to accept the Cup from County Chairperson AnneMaire Russell. Congratulations to all the players and well done to the management team- David, Shan, Aine and Lynda. Thank you to Abbeydorney GAA for the pitch, referee Seamus Mulvihill, Siobhán Herbert and to Causeway Camogie Club
U21 Hurling
Tralee Parnells 1-10 Crotta/Kilmoyley 1-24
Last Saturday evening under lights in Caherslee, in the Under 21 County Championship 1/4 final, Parnells put up a great performance against the amalgamation of Crotta/Kilmoyley. The visitors already had the benefit of a match under their belts while it was the 1st time the Parnells lads had played together in this age group. Parnells were actually first to score with a good point by Eddie Sheehy. Kerry Senior hurler Ronan Walsh was always a threat but it was his accuracy from the placed ball which ultimately proved the difference. Any free conceded by Parnells within 70 metres of goal resulted in a white flag. While Walsh was also dangerous from open play, he was kept well marshalled by his opposite number and team captain, Niall Cassidy throughout the 1st half until he had to go off injured early in the 2nd half. Cillian Litchfield was keeping Parnells in the game with some well struck frees and also struck a great score from play. Midway through the first half, Crotta/Kilmoyley were threatening to pull away, but a goal by Parnells following a scramble in the away team’s goalmouth had Parnells back in the match. A great point by Dan Maloney had Parnells level but Crotta/Kilmoyley had 2 further points just before half-time. On the stroke of half-time, Darragh Maloney made a storming run from half back and struck a great point, to leave just the minimum between the teams at half time – Tralee Parnells 1-7 Crotta Kilmoyley 0-11
Unfortunately for Parnells, the second half was more one-sided. Whatever was said to Crotta/Kilmoyley in the dressing room at half-time obviously worked. When they eventually emerged for the second half, they were quickly into their stride and were soon 4 points to the good. Illness and injuries deprived Parnells of Darragh Maloney and Cassidy early in the second half but Parnells fought on and pointed frees by Dan Maloney and a good score by Will Somers just about kept Parnells in touch. However, any foul at all was being punished by Walsh and centre back Sean McGrath was coming more into the game. Highlight of the second half was definitely a flying save by Parnells keeper Donnacha Buttimer to deny McGrath what looked like a certain goal. Parnells fought to the end but Crotta/Kilmoyley were worthy winners. Well done to the Parnells team and Management who can take pride in their performance. Best of luck to Crotta/Kilmoyley in the semi-final.
