SENIOR: The 2020 season got underway on Sunday with Round 1 of the Mid Kerry Senior League versus Glenbeigh/Glencar in Cloon. Both sides were starting the season with new management in place, as the Rangers managers John Sheehan and James Sheehan came up against John Evans on the Glenbeigh sideline. With 14 members of the Laune Rangers squad gone to London to play the Christy Kissane Cup and another half dozen looking on from the sideline with injuries, Rangers had a new look to their team on the day. Senior debuts were given out to starters Eoin O’Sullivan and Ronan O’Shea and – after the former’s day was cut short with a 1st minute injury – Stephen Sealy was called upon for his debut also. Laune Rangers came out on top on the day with goals proving key. Final Score:- Laune Rangers 4-9, Glenbeigh/ Glencar 1-13. Laune Rangers: Vincent Costello, David Mangan, Seán Arthurs, Neil O’Brien, Oisín Daly, Jonathan Carey, Daragh O’Connor, Eoin O’Sullivan, Shane Daly, Fiachra Clifford, Dáire Cleary, Mark O’Connor, Ronan O’Shea, Kieran Doona, Shane Doona.
