Legion U-16 Girls Killarney Legion 1-5 Na Gaeil 3-7

Legion u16 girls continued their division 2 County league campaign by welcoming Na Gaeil to Dirreen on Thursday evening. Playing with the benefit of a good breeze in the first half Legion dominated for periods and went in at half time ahead by 2-4 to 1-2. However, it was expected that a talented Na Gaeil team would come back strongly in the second half. A good start was important for Legion and they duly obliged scoring 1-2 without reply while keeping Na Gaeil at bay at the other

end. As the game wore on, Na Gaeil came more and more into it and reduced the gap. However, Legion steadied and through some Trojan work all around the pitch finished the stronger and won through on a score of 3-7 to 1-5. Well done again girls who are working very hard for each other and representing the club very well, developing all the time. Match Report U-12 Girls: Killarney Legion 1-4 Southern Gaels 4-6

Our u12 girls completed their preliminary round matches with a home game this evening at direen. We came up against a physically stronger Southern Gaels side who capitalized on having the benefit of a strong wind in the first half. The visitors went in at half time with a commanding lead having raised a green flag on 4 occasions.

With the benefit of the wind on our backs in the second half our girls showed great fighting spirit throughout. However scores proved difficult to come by. Credit to the South Kerry girls, they kicked a few great scores against the wind to run out worthy winners on a scoreline of 4-6 to 1-4.

In atrocious weather conditions, both teams served up a sporting contest. Battling wind and rain, our lads gave a great account of themselves and represented the club with distinction.
