Division 3 Relegation Play-off
There is an important Division 3 Relegation playoff on this Saturday when Gneeveguilla and St Senans clash in Castleisland on Saturday at 4pm. THE curtain raiser to Sunday’s game is the Senior Football Championship Relegation play-off between Kerins O’Rahillys and Kilcummin.
The senior football championship regulations passed in 2015 deemed that relegation from the championship would be based on a club’s performance in the Club Championship.
In that competition, Kenmare Shamrocks surprised O’Rahillys in Strand Road while Ratmore defeated Kilcummin by a point. Both then progressed to the Round 1 of the Relegation playoff where O’Rahillys were well beaten by Austin Stacks and Kilcummin went down to a heavy defeat at the hands of Dingle.
The losers of Sunday’s game which throws in at 1pm, will play Intermediate football next season. Referee is Jonathan Griffin of Glenbeigh-Glencar.
County MFC
EAST Kerry are Keanes Supervalu Killorglin County Minor Football champions for the third time in five years following a narrow two point victory over a gallant St Brendans side at Austin Stack on Saturday last (2-14 to 1-15).
The winners, who had a commanding 0-7 lead at the break thanks to a dominant second quarter, had to withstand tremendous pressure from the underdogs in the second half and St Brendans were decidedly unlucky not to have at least earned a draw – they passed up two glorious chances to level the game in the final minutes – following a tremendous fightback.
With a host of All Ireland Minor and Colleges medal holders on board, East Kerry were odds on to win this final and with something to spare, and win it they did but they got the fright of their lives from a St Brendans side that refused to throw in the towel.
After the game, County committee Chairman Tim Murphy presented the Frank King Cup in the presence of his daughter Breda King, to winning East Kerry captain Ian Roche while sponsor Peter Keane presented East Kerry’s David Clifford with the Man of the Match trophy.
