MASTERGEEHA FC

U-10 Blitz Mastergeeha U-10’s attended their second blitz on Sunday.

Our young guns turned up in large numbers where we fielded two teams on the day where we won the majority of our games with some really competitive games that ended in draws of narrow losses. Once again, our U-10’s represented Mastergeeha with great pride and skill. Well done to everyone involved and a special thanks yet again to all our parents for getting the players to Killorglin.

U12 Division 2: St. Brendan’s Park 4 -2 Mastergeeha F.C. We made the trip to Tralee to meet the division table toppers for the second time in the space of 2 weeks. As the score line reflects the boys made huge strides since the first meeting and can count themselves unlucky not to come away with a share of the spoils.

Other friendly games: Our premier team welcomed Inter Kenmare for an early kick off at Kilbrean Park in a challenge game. It was a great work out for the lads allowing a number of players experience in different positions across the pitch. Big thanks to Inter for making the early kick off and we look forward to making a return trip later in the season.

The weekend was completed when we fielded a third team for a challenge game versus our U-11s. This allowed us to give game time to all 30 players over the weekend. It was a very competitive game and a big thanks to John & Gareth for facilitating the match.

U-16 Division 1: Mastergeeha F.C. 6 - 1 Killorglin AFC .Our boys played well throughout with Rian Kelly playing very well in goals Strong performances from Gary Wynne, Mark O’Shea and Colin O’Leary. Boy are now 5 out of 5 so onwards and upwards

Scorers: Colin O’Leary 2, Oisin O’Leary, Jack Higgins, Turlough O’Connor and Brandon Griffin

U-14 Division 1: Killarney Celtic 0 4 Mastergeeha F.C. Our U-14 team in their new club jersey’s sponsored by Pain Medicine Cork

It certainly was a game of two halves where the physically stronger Mastergeeha team faced local rivals, Killarney Celtic. We move on and take the positives from this game.

Scorers: Emmet Spillane (free), Bobby Gallivan x 2, Aaron Buckley

Congratulations to Bobby Gallivan for making the Kerry Schoolboys Team of the week with his strong performance and contribution on Saturday.

U-14 Division 2: Castleisland AFC 6 - 3 Mastergeeha F.C. Our U-14’s travelled to Castleisland where the score line flattered the home team.

The game was a much closer affair than the score line suggested. Both sides had periods throughout the game where chances were created. Our goals on the day came from Darren O’Leary, Matthew Kennedy and James O’Connor.

U-18: Mastergeeha F.C. 0 3 Killorglin AFC. We hosted Killorglin in Kilbrean Park on Saturday afternoon. From the off, this was a competitive fixture with both teams creating good chances in the first half. Killorglin scored just before the half-time which was a big blow to the boys who had defended well up to that point. Killorglin were the more clinical side when they scored with 20 minutes remaining. Our panel on the day included Conor O’Leary, Sean Kennedy, Brian O’Driscoll, Shane Warren, Darragh O’Riordan, Dara Tangney, Philip O’Leary, Thomas Scott, Kevin Bowler, Nathan McCarthy, Liam Fleming, Conn Fleming Evan Murphy, and Micheal Sweeney.
