SENIOR: Following last week’s Christy Kissane Memorial Tournament win, Laune Rangers got their 2017 season off to a great start with a Mid Kerry League defeat of Milltown/Castlemaine on a cold Sunday afternoon in JP O’Sullivan Park. Full Time score:- Laune Rangers 0-11, Milltown/Castlemaine 0-9. The overall standard wasn’t the highest on the day but that can be expected in the first game of the season. The free taking battle between opposing sharpshooters Jonathon O’Sullivan and Colm O’Shea didn’t disappoint with O’Sullivan striking 7 and O’Shea notching 6 (plus one from play), with only a couple on either side that could be described as ‘easy’. Scores were scarce from outside of this pair, with the half forward line of John Tyther, Jack O’Connor and Ronan Sayers making up the rest of Rangers points, while an early Cathal Moriarty effort and a late Eoin O’Mahony point added to O’Sullivan’s tally for Milltown. In all, it was a successful day for the Laune Rangers team, with all debutants acquitting themselves well. Laune Rangers: Tony Lyons, Neil O’Brien, Johnny Carey, Aidan Cox, Michael O’Sullivan, Kieran Crowley, Pierce Tyther, Maurice Foley, Shane Daly, Ronan Sayers (0-1), Jack O’Connor (0-1), John Tyther (0-2), Shane Mangan, Colm O’Shea (0-7, 6f), David Costelloe.
