KILLARNEY LEGION

KERRY MINORS Massive congrats to Cian Gammell who became the latest Legionnaire to bring a Celtic Cross back to Dirreen. Although David Clifford rightly stole the headlines with a majestic performance it must be said the Kerry defence to a man was superb, continuously beating their man to the ball and counter attacking at pace. Cian, named at left corner back but lining out in the half back line, put in clever efficient display and now has 4 All Ireland medals to his name after a hugely satisfying 18 months.Due reward for a young player who spent endless hours on his own in Dirreen practising and perfecting his skills at a very early age. Physical trainer Chris Flannery made sure the team was razor sharp while physio Katie O Driscoll had everyone fit and ready. Peter Keane now has an undefeated record as Kerry minor manager, an achievement which will stand with the best of them, one which he can be rightly proud of. UNDER 15 GIRLS On Monday night Legion Ladies U15’s travelled to Na Gaeil in Tralee to compete in their U15 Div 2 county semi-final . The Girls were down in numbers owing to some being out sick and fielding as 13 a side bravely took on the Tralee girls . They started well and kept in touch for the initial stages with some skilfully taken points but two goals by a strong Na Gaeil team forced us into defensive play and while the girls stopped any further breaches of defence for goals, Na Gaeil managed to put away the game with points . To our girls credit they battled to the end and made some valiant attacks but we were unable to capitalise owing to having too many players pulled back in defensive positions . Credit to Na Gaeil they had some strong performances on the pitch which kept their forwards with plenty of supply . Focus for the girls will now revert back to their pending East Kerry Finals . DATES FOR YOUR DIARY On Friday October 13th we are holding our Annual Golf Classic in the superb Killarney Golf and Fishing Club. Sean Murphy is the supremo behind our biggest fundraiser and he is currently busy finalising details for the big day. The following Friday ,October 20th, we will be holding our now Annual Mass. Last years was a great celebration with young and old all present. There’s more to a club than the on field activities and it provides members with an opportunity to mix afterwards with tea, coffee and light refreshments served afterwards. Every member is welcome. BON VOYAGE To Senior player KJ Griffin and Emer Casey who head to Vancouver to start a new chapter.
