Senior Hurling
Tralee Parnells 2-13 Kenmare 0-7
In Rathmore last Wednesday evening, our Senior hurlers qualified for the County Intermediate Championship Final by beating Kenmare. On a great evening for hurling on a very well prepared pitch, both sides served up a great game of hurling. There was very little to choose between the sides after the first half when Parnells went in only 1 point ahead, 5 points to 4. However, whatever was said at half time resulted in the team coming out of the blocks quicker than Kenmare and Parnells had built up a healthy 6 point lead midway through the second half. Two quick goals in succession, from the two Darraghs, Maloney and Reen, put the result beyond doubt. Parnells will now play St Brendans, who defeated Kilgarvan in the other semi-final, in the Final in Austin Stacks Park on Wednesday evening. This is only the second time that the club has reached the final so hopefully we can go one better than the last time and lift the cup. Our thanks to Rathmore on their excellent hosting of the game and to John Ross on his officiating. We would ask everyone, young and old, to come out on Wednesday evening to support the lads as they bid to make history.

Well done to all our U9s played in Crotta last Tuesday evening – great progress being made by all the boys.
