MASTERGEEHA FC
U12 DIV 2: Killarney Athletic 1 Mastergeeha 0. The boys were unlucky not to get a draw this local derby. Ryan McGuirl, Dave O’Riordan and Evan Evans all went close to scoring for Mastergeeha.
U13 - Killarney Celtic 6 Mastergeeha 1. The home side were much stronger in this game. However the boys never gave up and with Mark O’Shea scoring from a penalty.
U15 DIV 1 - Mastergeeha 0 Camp Juniors 1. Although beaten by an early goal the lads deserved more against the unbeaten league leaders who came away from Kilbrean Park knowing they had really been in a game. Camp scored early on but the lads responded well and kept the league leaders at bay with some fantastic defending with Captain Daniel Herlihy leading by example. Sean Kennedy in midfield tried his best to create openings for the forwards but they couldn’t find a reply against the well-organized West Kerry side. All played well.
U17 - Killarney Athletic 0 Mastergeeha 4. In this local derby the boys were the better side and deserved the win. All played well with Dylan Murphy (2), Jamie O’Shea and Anthony Darmody getting the goals.
SENIORS PREMIER AC - Athletic 1 Mastergeeha 2. In this close game the seniors got a good away win. With the game at 0-0 at the break Mastergeeha took the lead early in the second half when Tommy O’Sullivan crossed for Damien Breen scoring.
After this both sides created chances but the home side equalised with 20 minutes remaining. Shortly after Mastergeeha took the lead again when Tom Templeman crossed for Damien Breen to head to the net. After this Mastergeeha defended well however in the final minute the home side were awarded a penalty which Kieran Culloty saved to ensure the win. All played well.
