The visitors were extremely well organised and put Killorglin under pressure from the start and scored midway through the first half. It stayed at 1-0 at half time. Killorglin started the second half a lot better and looked like they might equalise until a mix up at the back left Castleisland in for a second. That killed off the game and it ended 3-0 to the visitors. Killorglin still with work to do…
The youths were in action on Saturday away to Park. Killorglin are finding it tough to get numbers at this level and had only the bare 11. They held Park to 2-1 at half time but the floodgates opened in the 2nd half and a flurry of goals by the opposition meant the game finished 9-3 to Park. Killorglin scorers were Liam Carey (2) and Aidan Cox.
A Killorglin team without two or three regulars made no mistake against Mastergeeha. Captain of the day Dylan O’Neill gave us an early lead, with Gearoid Hassett adding another, and Sean Corcoran with a great header to leave us three in front at half time.
In the second half Mastergeeha pulled one back but Killorglin introduced Jack O’Connor who got two, and Evan Madden (Man of the Match) added another with Dean Callan finishing the scoring. A great team display ahead of the next National Cup game.
Killorglin lead 2-0 at half time through Jack Evans and Jack O’Leary, but against a strong wind Asdee took a 3-2 lead in the second half. WIth just ten minutes remaining, Jack Carey and Cian Naylor combined to find Steven who made it 3-3. Straight from the restart Ethan Coffey played in Jack O’Leary who stole the points for Killorglin.
A great win at home to Camp Utd finished 3-0 with goals coming from Ryan Keane, Shane O’Connor and Johnny Carey (penalty) after Paul Macca was brought down. Their keeper was sent off so camp finished out the game with 10 men but the contest was over at that stage. 3 points from 2 games shows the A’s are not out of their depth. Lee Carey had an outstanding game back from injury and was M.O.T.M.
Unfortunately the B-Team didn’t have the same good fortune. With 1 or 2 players missing and Damien Mc pulled out just before the game it meant a few changes, but the lads acquitted themselves well and it remained 0-0 at half time. Killorglin got a dream start to the 2nd half with Frankie DiCanio latching on to a lovely through ball from Pa Knightly and slotting it away. But unfortunately Sneem got back into the game and also took the lead with a couple of long balls – which are very hard to control on the astro surface. They also got a 3rd from a corner…but to be fair our lads they never gave up. Team was: Niall O’Shea, Jacko Breen, Stuart Delaney (capt), Dan Horgan, Mike Carey, Mitch, Brendy Breen, Jamie O’Sullivan, DiCanio, Pa Knightly and Ryan O’Riordan. Subs Gerome Houlihan (on for Mitch), Carlos Bras (on for Jacko Breen) and Nat for Ryan…also Alan O’Dwyer and Jacko Foley. It’s always hard to pick M.O.T.M. when you lose but Stuart played a captains role right to the end of the game and will have to go to him. Still 4 points from 3 games is not too bad considering no game for a month, hopefully back on track next week…

A tight first half saw Killorglin take the lead early on through David Mangan, only for the visitors to pile on the pressure, culminating in a certain goal coming back off the crossbar into the relieved hands of Alex O’Connor. But Killorglin eventually took control and an injury to one of the Caherdavin players midway through the second half left them playing with 10 men and the result was never in doubt. Goalscorers: David Mangan, Gearoid Hassett x 3, Dean Callen, Martin Foley, Eoin Clifford.
