U-16s:
Austin Stack Park was the setting on Weds night last ( 15th) for our division 3 final vs Knock/Brosna/Duagh. We started well with an early goal from Daniel Bowler but despite another major from Jack Savage we were two points in arrears at half time; we reduced the deficit and then took the lead only for a converted penalty from KBD to leave them leading by 3 points as the final minutes approached – Conor O’Sullivan lofted a high ball to the square which was finished to the net by Enis Reka resulting in an additional 2o minutes extra time being played- however, we were unable to match the opposition for strength in this period and finished losing by 4 points, 3-20 to 4-13.
Well done to all the lads, to Ray, Mazie and JT for their efforts in the past few months.

U-15:
There was heartbreak for North Kerry U-15s on Sat in Tullamore when going down in the final to Cork on a final score line of 3-11 to 1-09, a score line that does not fully reflect the closeness of the game.
Having defeated Louth ( 3-16 to 0-06) in the first round and then Kerry South in the semi final ( 4-04 to 2-05) North Kerry came out against Cork with all guns blazing and raced into a 1-05 to NIL lead inside the opening 10 minutes – further chances flowed but were not availed of and the Cork lads gradually worked their way into the game running out winners in the end by 8 points. Well done to Jerome Daly and bainisteoir Mark Fitzgerald who both played in their parts throughout the year with this squad.
