North Kerry Senior Leagues 2020

North Kerry Senior Division 1 and Division 2 Leagues 2020 Sponsored by McCarthy Insurance Listowel

Results as follows for the opening rounds

Division 1 


 Desmonds 1-6 V Beale 0-4

A blend of youth and experience took to the field for Beale seniors in their opening round of the North Kerry League, Division 1A, in Ballybunion on Sunday. Both teams have to be complimented for a good display of competitive football despite very difficult, blustery, wintry conditions.  Strong winds played havoc on playing conditions and scoring was kept to minimum. It was Desmonds who found the target with two opening points and Beale finally got off the mark after twenty minutes. Good defensive work kept Beale's opponents at bay and prevented some possible goal chances. They went in at the short whistle two points adrift.  The rain had abated and the wind had died down considerably on the changeover. Nevertheless playing conditions were still harsh and draining. Beale levelled eight minutes into the second half. The teams exchanged points and were level again in the fourteenth minute. Beale were unlucky when they struck the upright and the rebound again hit the post, denying them of a goal chance. Desmonds changed their game plan in the final quarter and a mistake in Beale's defence resulted in a goal. With about seven minutes on the clock, Beale trailed by 1-5 to 0-4. Despite our efforts, Desmonds saw it out to win by 1-6 to 0-4.
