Rathmore have too much for Currow
CURROW hosted Rathmore on Saturday in round 3 of the East Kerry Senior League. Played on a very heavy pitch Rathmore raced into a 3 point lead with scores from Mark Reen and John Moynihan before Currow got off the mark with points from John McMahon and Padraig O’Shea.
Mark T Reen then scored a goal for the away side and Mark Reen add 3 further points to give Rathmore a five-point lead. Currow then had their best spell of the match and ended the half strongly scoring 1-4 without reply, just before the break.
Timmy O’Leary notched up 1-1, John McMahon 0-2 and Padraig O’Shea added points to level the match, 1-6 a piece. Rathmore responded with a point followed, on the stroke of half time, by a John Moynihan goal. Half time score Rathmore 2-7 Currow 1-6.
Scores were harder to come by early in the second half. However, both sides found the net in the last quarter. John Moynihan scored his second goal of the day while John McMahon scored a goal and point for Currow before Jack Scanlon completed the home side’s scoring with two late points.
