CO. SENIOR LEAGUE DIV 2 - Round 8 Listowel Emmets V Kenmare In a vital game for both teams it was the home side that came out on top after a gruelling affair in the blistering heat in Frank Sheehy Park. Emmets started very brightly and went three points to no score up through a brace from David Keane and the excellent David Sheehy before Kenmare responded with two good scores from Seanie O Leary and Kevin O’Sullivan. Noel Kennnelly put two between them a minute later after selling a nice dummie to his marker. Temperatures were beginning to rise and this was also the case on the field of play as there were some classic battles beginning to unfold, most notably between young Eddie Browne and the experienced Paul O’Connor who linked well with his teammates setting up the next score for Shane O’Sullivan before Dylan Price levelled matters.
The final ten minutes of the half belonged to the home side however as points from Sam Tarrant, David Sheehy and two more from the accurate David Keane sent Emmets in at half time 4 to the good. Half time: Emmets 0-08 Kenmare 0-04 The second half was a great spectacle with both sides kicking some fine scores with Niall Collins and Eddie Browne driving Listowel forward at every opportunity and David Hallissey keeping Kenmare ticking over at midfield. Kevin Price and Paul O’Connor put two between them once more before Tom McCarthy set up David Sheehy who fired a rocket to the top corner to keep Emmets in front with a nice cushion. This game was only getting going however as Kenmare kept plugging away through scores from O’Connor and being honest it was too hard to call at times. Sheehy dispatched two penalties in the final quarter to complete his hat-trick and round off a terrific individual display while O’Connor and David Hallissey goaled for the away side. It would ultimately be Listowel Emmets day however as they ran out winners by the slimmest of margins on a scoreline of 3-11 to 2-13. Emmets: S Quinn, G Tarrant, E Browne, D Sheehan, R Smith, N Collins (R Hanley), D Leahy, C Mulvihill 0-01, T McCarthy, D Keane 0-04 (S Keane), D Sheehy 3-02, M Whelan, S Tarrant 0-03, N Kennelly 0-01 S Gilbert Fixtures Co.
