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.

Premier Under 12s:

St Brendans Park Fc 4 – 5 Killorglin AFC

A brace from Gearoid Hassett and a long range effort from Jack O’Connor saw Killorglin race into an early lead, but the home team responded well and the first half ended in the concession of two goals. In the second half, the game looked to be slipping away from Killorglin as another Park goal put the sides level. With Gearoid Hassett coming off after picking up a knock, and substitute Jack O’Leary taking a heavy tackle just minutes after coming on, we were under pressure. The outstanding Sean Corcoran in midfield turned in a big performance to keep us in the game (and made it into the Kerry Schoolboys Team of the Week – click here), and when Ethan Coffey used his pace to bag two goals, we breathed a sigh of relief. Despite conceding another late in the game, and Darragh McKeefry clearing one off the line, we were good for the three points.

Team: Martin Fay, Oisin Cronin, Sean Cleary, Darragh McKeefry, Cian Naylor, Sean Corcoran, Jack O’Connor, Stephen O’Loughlin, Niall Carey, Gearoid Hassett, Ethan Coffey. Subs: Ruairi Murphy, Jack O’Connor, Kaiya O’Flaherty, Jason O’Sullivan.

Under 17s record their biggest ever score

September 9, 2013 Gabhan

Castlegregory 1 – 7 Killorglin

First game of season – biggest ever score.

A great start to the league as we raced to an early 3-0 lead with goals from Gavin McKenna, Ray Marmion (a cracker) and an OG (though McKenna is claiming it). An unfortunate hand ball by captain Jerry Foley gifted Castelgregory with a lifeline through a converted penalty.

But 4 super goals in the second half ensured Killorglin got the win – Dan Whittleton claimed a brilliant hat-trick and McKenna claimed a 2^nd. It was a day of firsts – first game for Beaufort man Ronan Brosnan, first time to score 7 goals and first time Michael McMahon finished on a winning Killorglin team. Keep it going

Team: Niall O’Shea, Sheazo, Stuart Delaney (capt.), Damien Mc, Jacko Breen, Mitchell O’Sullivan, Frankie DiCanio, Jamie O’Sullivan, Vinnie West, Lee Carey and Shane Riordan.

Registration for all players from Under 10s / Junior Academy to Under 16s will take place in CYMS hall on Wednesday 7th August at 8pm, followed by the club AGM. It is vitally important that every parent with a child looking to play soccer for Killorglin AFC in 2013/2014 should attend if possible. We need to assess the number of teams in each age group and if you do not register on the night, it means entering teams in the league, and providing adequate facilities is very difficult. We urge you to please make every effort to attend on the night.

Note: Only parents are required to attend for registration.
