INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP: A late equalizing wonder point may have cost Laune Rangers the win last week, but this time it was a superb winner from a near impossible angle by John Tyther that decided the tie. The result does – at the very least – secure Intermediate status for Laune Rangers, although management will now set their sights on progressing further in the competition. Laune Rangers held an early advantage, and led by 0-2 to 0-1 in the 9th minute when full forward Shane Daly received a black card for an off the ball incident that was missed by most. The resulting free was scored by Bobby O’Regan to level matters – Dáire Cleary & John Tyther (free) and Ardfert’s David Griffin with the earlier scores. Two young corner forwards Colin Walsh (Ardfert) and Gearóid Hassett traded points before Eoin Clifford restored Rangers’ lead with a super point, as Laune Rangers went into the 1st Half water break with a narrow 0-4 to 0-3 lead. Bobby O’Regan scored an excellent 45’ as the rain began to teem town on JP O’Sullivan Park and, as expansive play became virtually impossible in the conditions, Ardfert captain David Griffin added two points to his tally to give his team the lead at the break. Half Time Score:Laune Rangers 0-4, Ardfert 0-6. The rain that fell late in the first half and during Half Time began to subside in the second half. Ardfert doubled their advantage with early points through John Egan & Bobby O’Regan (free), but this was nullified with pointed frees from John Tyther and Fiachra Clifford. David Griffin added two more points before Seán Arthurs was sprung from the Rangers bench to mark the full forward, who had five points from play up to that point. Ardfert took a hold of the tie in the 37th minute when Eoghan Courtney smashed his shot to the roof of the Rangers net following good play by Nathan O’Driscoll. This was familiar territory for Rangers – having been 8 behind at the same stage in the previous game – and they went to work to claw away at the deficit. John Tyther kicked two frees with Rangers’ industrious forwards being fouled within scoring range, before Fiachra Clifford scored a fantastic point before the water break. With 15 minutes to play, Ardfert led by 1-10 to 0-9. David Costelloe was introduced in the 53rd minute and caused immediate problems to the Ardfert defence, being fouled on his first touch. John Tyther put the resulting free over the bar – a super shot from the ground – to leave a goal between the sides. Costelloe’s second touch was equally as effective. A great from saw David Mangan find Dáire Cleary who put the substitute through on goal. He was chopped to the ground inside the square – a foul that saw the offending party Trevor Wallace shown the red card and sent to the line. John Tyther kept his cool and hit the net with the penalty kick to level the game at 1-10 a piece with 57 minutes played. Laune Rangers, with the man advantage, were now on the ascendancy. Fiachra Clifford put Laune Rangers ahead in the first additional minute, but David Griffin scored his sixth of the night with a free. There was time for a winner though, and the home side were the team to get it as John Tyther took on a near impossible shot from the dressing room corner of the field with his right boot. Nicky Sullivan despondently directed his eyes upwards as the ball sailed between the posts and, with Rangers gaining possession of the resulting kickout, they held on to the ball until the final whistle was blown. Full Time Score:- Laune Rangers 1-12, Ardfert 1-11. In a hugely exciting game in horrible weather conditions, a few players stood out. Ardfert skipper David Griffin was the go-to man for his team – especially in the first half - scoring six points on the night (5 from play). Goal scorer Eoghan Courtney played well, as did Fionán McKassey. For Laune Rangers, the introductions of David Costelloe up front and Seán Arthurs at the back gave the home side a huge boost – the former causing havoc near goal and being fouled for the penalty, with the latter holding David Griffin

to just a pointed free during his 25-odd minutes on the field. Two men stood out for the Laune though – John Tyther & Fiachra Clifford. They shared 1-9 of the team’s 1-12 between them and were outstanding in general play. In the final round of fixtures, Ardfert will host Rathmore with the losing team entering the relegation playoffs, while a Rathmore win will require Rangers to gain at least a point against already qualified Desmonds in Castleisland for a place in the Quarter Finals. Those fixtures will be confirmed by the CCC early in the week. Laune Rangers:- Jason Browne, Evan Madden, Jonathan Carey, Seán Cleary, Eoin Clifford (0-1), David Mangan, Peter Crowley, John Tyther (1-6, pen, 5f), Jack O’Connor, Mark O’Connor, Fiachra Clifford (capt, 0-3, 1f), Shane Mc Sweeney, Gearóid Hassett (0-1), Shane Daly, Dáire Cleary (0-1). Subs:- Roan Moriarty, Patrick Carey, Seán Arthurs, David Costelloe. Ardfert:- Nicky Sullivan, Trevor Wallace, Stephen Leen, Eric Leen, Iarla Courtney, Darren Dineen, Rhys Keane Doyle, Fionán McKassey, Kevin Shanahan, Eoghan Courtney (1-0), Bobby O’Regan (0-3, 2f), Eoghan McElligott, Colin Walsh (0-1), David Griffin (capt, 0-6, 1f), John Egan (0-1). Subs: Nathan O’Driscoll, Jordan Brick, Fionán Horgan.

INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP FIXTURE: Laune Rangers will travel to Castleisland to face Desmonds in the final game in Group 3. Details of the fixture not finalised at time of writing.

MINOR BOYS: Laune Rangers faced Mid Kerry in Round 1 of the County Minor (U17) Championship on Bank Holiday Monday in Killorglin. No result at time of writing.

MINOR GIRLS: Laune Rangers have teamed up with Cromane LGFA to field a Minor Ladies side in County competition in 2020. They travelled to Valentia on Friday evening last to take on Southern Gaels, but it was the home side that came out on top. Hard Luck all.

UNDER 16 BOYS: A familiar rivalry was restored on Monday evening as Laune Rangers hosted Glenflesk in the County Under 16 League. These two teams contested the two main Finals at the U14 age grade in 2018 – Glenflesk winning the County League Division 1 title with Rangers claiming the Féile crown. Rangers got off to a great start and led by 1-3 to 0-0 in the opening minutes, as Oisín Birmingham hit the net for a goal to accompany points by Jack O’Sullivan and Eoghan Hassett (2). Glenflesk got into the game then though, and outscored Rangers 0-4 to 0-1 (Eoghan Hassett) in the remainder of the first quarter to leave the hosts leading by a goal at the 15 minute water break – Laune Rangers 1-4, Glenflesk 0-4. Glenflesk scored the next point but Rangers then hit six in succession to take a commanding lead – Ciarán O’Sullivan, Jack O’Sullivan, Tom Whittleton, Darragh O’Grady, Cillian Foley & Eoghan Joy all pointing for the Laune. Another Glenflesk point temporarily stalled the Rangers momentum but further points by Eoghan Joy and Darragh O’Grady gave their side the lead by nine at the break.

Half Time Score:- Laune Rangers 1-12, Glenflesk 0-6. Laune Rangers continued to impress, scoring three points in the opening five minutes of the second half – Oisín Birmingham, Jack O’Sullivan and Eoghan Hassett with the scores – before this was nullified by Glenflesk’s first goal, while they added a further point to reduce the gap to eight points. Jack O’Sullivan pointed for Rangers to leave his side leading by 1-16 to 1-7 at three quarter mark water break. A point by substitute Oisín Lynch for Rangers was sandwiched between a brace by the visitors, but Rangers scored twice more through Darragh O’Grady and Eoghan Hassett to leave them nine ahead with time up. Glenflesk scored two late goals to bring the sides closer on the scoreboard, but Rangers did enough to claim the win. Full Time Score:- Laune Rangers 1-19, Glenflesk 3-9. Laune Rangers Team:- Adam Carey, Aona O’Shea, Eoin Lynch, Killian Spillane, Oisín Birmingham (1-1), Ryan Diggin, Cathal O’Callaghan, Ciarán O’Sullivan (0-1), John Burke, Tom Whittleton (0-1), Eoghan Hassett (05), Eoghan Joy (0-2), Darragh O’Grady (0-3), Jack O’Sullivan (0-4), Cillian Foley (0-1). Subs: Oisín Lynch (0-1), Joe Cronin Langham, Tim Mangan.
