WEEKLY CLUB NOTES to 9th June

10th June 2019 By Ger O'Brien

Credit Union Co. League Div 1, Round 5

Kerins O Rahillys  1-09  Austin Stacks   0-16.
In a very competitive Credit Union Co. League played in Connolly Park in ideal conditions a second half display by Stacks where they had a golden patch in the third quarter was enough to give them a deserved win over a gallant Strand Road side. We never gave up and could have snatched a draw in the final few minutes when only a goal separated the sides . Both sides were missing players  but it was Stacks who got off to a great start and led by 6 points to Strand Road’s  1 point at the 15th minute, that point coming from the impressive Barry John Keane .
The second quarter saw Rahillys take over and with Tom Hoare and Con Barrett dominating and with great support play by Seán Brosnan , Ryan Carroll,Karl Mullins and Darragh McElligott we put over five points in succession to level the scores at 6 points each by the 29th minute – three points from Barry John Keane another from Tom Hoare and one from Conor Hayes who had a great game throughout. This was a golden patch for us and our great inter passing movement saw wing forward Gearóid  Dillane fire a rocket of a shot passed the Stacks keeper to leave us ahead at half time with Rahillys 1-07 to Stacks 0-6. 
The first quarter of the second half saw Stacks dominate and they hit a purple patch where they put over a brace of points . We replied with points from Con Barrett , Tom Hoare and Barry John Keane to leave the score at Rahillys 1-09 to Stacks 0-15 and time almost up.
We had a great chance of a goal but the ball was cleared and Stacks put a point over the bar for the insurance point and the whistle blew for full time . 
A gutsy display by Strand Road and we never gave up . Shane Foley had a fine  game in goals and others to impress were David Murphy, Seán Collins and Ross O’ Callaghan . Up front, Barry John Keane, Conor Hayes , Aaron Roche, and Paudie Griffin did well. A mInute’s  silence was observed before the game in memory of the late Jackie Power,  Austin Stacks. 
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam .

Credit Union Co. League Div 5A, Round 5

O’Rahillys trailed by three points at half time with Sneem 0-09 to 1-03 in front, with the Strand Road scores coming from a Johnny Keane goal, a brace of points from Sean Walsh and a pointed free from Darragh Fitzgerald.  On the resumption, four quick points by Sneem left plenty to do for Strand Rd, although two further points from Keane bought the Blues back into it.  A penalty for Sneem after 15 minutes allowed them to pull away.  However a good final quarter with scores from Brian Scannall and Kevin Johnson-Horgan left scores 1-07 to 3-13 to the home side at the finish.

Kerins O’Rahillys: R O’Connor, B Scannell, T McGrath, K Mangan; C Gallagher, R Molloy, D O’Brien; J O’Leary, D McElligott; K J-Horgan, S McElligott, G Hartnett; D Fitzgerald, S Walsh, J Keane.

Massive Thank you to Monaleen U8 Boys from Limerick who travelled down to us bright and early last Saturday, June 8th. Ballyrickard was full of action. 
The sun was shining and the blue and white was in full flight.

The football skills on display were a credit to both the children and their dedicated coaches. 
As always we showed our hospitality by greeting our guests with refreshments, fresh scones with jam and cream, sandwiches and cakes. 
Thanks  to all those who helped out to make the day such a success. 
We plan to make a return journey to Monaleen in the Autumn. 

U12 BOYS

Our under 12s returned to their winning ways on Sunday with an impressive 5-21 to 1-6 win vs Cromane. The weather held up well for our trip down south and we played some lovely football in the first half scoring 4-8. 

Ruairí, Oisin, Jamie and Ryan raising the green flag. 

Cromane battled well in the 2nd half and scored a good individual goal. 

But a Brendan Meehan goal and 13 points saw us run out as winners. 

Ruairí Kennedy was ecxellent in both attack and defence with Jamie McCarthy taking a break from the full forward line to pull the strings in midfield. 

Oisin Cronin led the charge in the first half before dropping into goals in the second. 

Brayden Pierce played a captain’s role as usual.

LADIES NOTES 
U10 GIRLS 
We participated in the North Kerry U10 blitz last Sunday in Healy Park, Ballyrickard. We entered  2 teams and each played  three games providing entertainment for the onlookers with all of the girls from every team showing off some great skills. A big thank you to Nora for her delicious biscuit cake for our shop. It was scrumptious!
Well done to our players and their mentors and to Frank Mcloughlin for organising this and for his hard work. It’s great to see the girls enjoying games. Many kids giving up now at an early age and it’s fun games like these that helps keep them interested.

Training continues on Tuesday and Thursday. 

Our condolences to Ann Smith , Nathali’s Mom on the death of her sister Bernie during the week. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam. 

U16 GIRLS 

Last Thursday we had the pleasure of David Moran ,current lot and Kerry  midfield star who took a session in Pat Healy Park . With exams, holidays etc we had girls out so we combined age groups from u14 through to minor and senior ladies and we had about 30 who took part. 

Dave set up some fabulous drills which combined kicking,handpasing ,movement, point kicking and every drill brought a different skill into play and then they were all combined into plays that would be part of a normal game. It was a really fast paced hour that had ball work all the way through and gave the girls of all ages an experience of how things operate at county level training sessions . Importantly it had everyone’s full attention from minute one to the final minute which really showed how well David had the girls tuned in and you could visibly see the girls improving as the hour progressed 

Thanks again to David,  not easy to find time in the busy world he operates in but again another voice in training to bring the girls football to another level,we will continue to introduce different voices at varying times through the season to enhance the whole experience of playing ladies football in KOR and all with the aim of making it more enjoyable and improving how we play football. 

Wishing  the girls doing exams all the best and hope it’s going well, only another week or so to go!!!

Theres still the option of training on Tuesday at 7.30p.m. for an hour for whoever is available from U16s on to seniors. 

JUNIOR LADIES 

Great training session last Thursday evening.  Thanks to David Moran for taking time to do drills with the ladies in Strand Road . 

Training continues at 7.30p.m. on Tuesday. 

RECRUITMENT
