NORTH KERRY MINOR LEAGUE DIVISION 2 SEMI FINAL
KNOCK/BROSNA 4-11 BALLYDUFF 2-8
A blistering start from Knock/Brosna that yielded 1-2 inside the opening 9mts paved the way for a comfortable victory over a spirited Ballyduff who only came out of their shell in the second half in this well contested North Kerry Division 2 League Semi Final played in excellent playing conditions at Duagh on Tuesday evening last. Jack Goulding was without doubt the best player for the Duffers with Cathal Kearney, Kevin Bowler and substitute Tom O Connor showing up well throughout; but in truth the combination side had the edge in most departments with Cillian Keane and Kieran O Donnell a constant threat in attack while the likes of Maurice O Keeffe, Michael Walsh and Cillian Fitzmaurice solid in defence. Eamon Prenderville also chipped in with some nice long range points. The combination side laid down a marker from the word go and inside the opening 7mts had rattled the net on 2 occasions; both coming from Kieran O Donnell; with 1 from the penalty spot and at this stage led 2-1 without reply. Ballyduff now looked a team without ideas but it was their star player Jack Goulding who was keeping them in touch; firstly he careered through from 45 meters to finish with a splendid strike to the net after 11mts and a minute later Kevin Bowler was unlucky not to regester number 2 only for a timely interception by a Knock/Brosna defender. At the other end 2mts later Knock/Brosna got in for a goal of a rather soft variety when Conor Sheehan lobbed the ball goalwards and it finished up in the net. Jack Goulding, (f) and Kieran O Donnell exchanged points as we entered the remaining 10mts of the half but it was the combination side who finished with some excellent points leaving the half time score Knock/Brosna 3-6 Ballyduff 1-2. Ballyduff got the upper hand on resumption and once again Jack Goulding was very much to the fore kicking the opening 4pts by the 7th mt. to narrow the gap to just 6pts. However for all their possession they never seemed to threaten the combination goalkeeper. Knock/Brosna weathered the storm and again enjoyed a purple patch towards the conclusion of the contest with Cillian Keane and Darragh O Sullivan exchanging goals but in fairness the Ballyduff boys never gave up outscoring their opponents by 1-6 to 1-5 in that second half but even though the combination deserved their win the Duffers will rue a poor first half display. Teams and scorers; Knock Brosna; Gearoid Kelly, Maurice O Keeffe, Cillian Fitzmaurice, Conor Sheehan, 1-1, Michael Walsh, 1pt, Ritchie Cottor, Shane Fitzmaurice, 1pt, Eamon Prenderville, 3pts, Darragh Curtin, Damian Fitzgerald, Kieran O Donnell, 2-1, Timmy Finnegan, Cillian Keane, 1-4.
