  • St Brendans Park 4 – 3 Killorglin AFC

The A-team were in action in the Munster Junior Cup against St. Brendans Park. Park are a top side and Killorglin needed an improved performance from the game last Sunday. And that’s exactly what they gave. Even though they came out with a 4-3 loss, Killorglin can take a lot of positives from this game. We took the lead with a headed goal from Karl “Fla” Falvey, but let Park back in straight away. Then took the lead through a brilliant individual effort from Johnny Carey, only to give Park a soft penalty which they converted to make it 3-2. But Carey made another great run and was brought down in the box and converted the spot kick to make it 3-3 at the half. A mainly uneventful second half, with both sides having chances, Tony Lyons making a couple of solid saves. Then Dave Coffey with a great run, intercepted the ball and was in one and one on the keeper only for being pulled back by the defender who was sent off. With time nearly up, Park latched on to a loose ball and scored what proved to be the winner. You would have fancied Killorglin in extra time with the extra man but it wasn’t to be. Still a lot of positives to take from the game with some great individual performances and some new players just getting settled in – it’s looking much better. Johnny Carey M.O.T.M.

Senior A

  • Killarney Celtic 8-2 Killorglin AFC

1st game of the season – Hopefully there will be better days ahead. Johnny Carey and Shane O’Connor with the goals. Ryan Keane missed a penalty and there were a couple of scoring chances in the first half. Goalkeeper Chris O’Connor was sent off so the 4-0 at half time may have flattered Celtic. However Celtic are a top side and it is elsewhere Killorglin will be looking for points this season

Senior B

  • Killorglin AFC 2-2 Sneem Santos

Kevin O’Brien and Pa Knightly getting the goals. We were unlucky not to win. After going 1-0 down in the first 5 minutes Killorglin settled and Kevin O’Brien got the equaliser on the 15th min.The start of the second half saw Pa Knightly put Killorglin ahead with a well worked goal and from there we should have seen out the game with some great scoring chances. But with 10 mins left Sneem got an equaliser from a corner. Ryan O’Riordan who came on late had a couple of chances and was unlucky. Stuart Delaney (capt.) gave a Man of the Match performance. That’s 4 points from 2 games so not too bad.

Youths

  • Killarney Athletic 7-1 Killorglin AFC

Killorglin Youths got their league off to a start yesterday (Paul Russell takes charge) away to KIllarney Athletic. Athletic are strong this year and Killorglin Youths would be mostly made up from U-17’s so no surprise when they were beaten, but hopefully they can improve as the season progresses.
