Division 1
BALLYJHAR and Listowel Celtic were tied at 1-1 in their clash with Christopher Palmer getting the goal for the home side in Murt Scott Park.
In the second half, however, it was all Ballyhar as Peter Cosgrave hit three and Aaron O’Shea 2 for a 6-2 win. The three points sees them move to the top of the Division in the very early stages.
It looked for long periods that Killarney Athletic would get nothing from their home game against Listowel Celtic. They were 2-0 down at half-time and 3-1 behind with 15 minutes to go. However, goals from Jason Lee, Jamie Alade and Aaron O’Sullivan saw the Woodlawn side snatch a point.
Division 2
THESE were the first round of games in the division with two sides making their debut in the VITHIT Schoolboys League. Windmill United and Listowel Celtic U-16 Girls teams are very welcome additions to the division.
Ballyheigue were a little too strong for the Listowel Celtic girls who will only improve playing against this tough opposition and it will stand to them in their National Cup campaign.
Aoife Horgan and Zara Doherty scored for Listowel Celtic, but goals from Tomas Gaynor, Feilim O’Sullivan, Denis Lynch, Eric Walsh, Jedd Maunsell, Dara Kearney, Daniel O’Loughlin and Seamie Foran saw Ballyheigue take the three points and sit top of the table.
Rattoo Rovers got the better of newcomers Windmill United and are also now on three points.
Ronan Walsh and Aaron McCabe both got two each with Gavin Parker, Martin Mannix Brosnan and Jordan Goggin also scoring for Rattoo Rovers who led 2-1 at the break.
Scoring the first ever goals in the Schoolboys League were Dylan Barry and man of the match Eric McMahon.
Dingle Bay Rovers are the other side on three points as they just got the better of Park B in a seven goal thriller. Mark Manning scored twice with Ben O’Brien and an own goal giving the West Kerry side their four goals who led 2-1 at the break.
For the Park Leonit Salihat, Caden O’Mahony with a penalty and Mohammed Khussainov scoring for the Park.
