South Kerry 0-12 Shannon Rangers 0-7
South Kerry completed their 3 in a row with a comprehensive victory over a disappointing Shannon Rangers side at Austin Stack Park, Tralee. Shannon Rangers led by 0-4 to 0-2 at the break but had failed to capitalise on a good supply of possession in the first half. They were to rue this as South Kerry took over. Denis Dwyer and Haulie Clifford began to rule the roost at centre-field. (more…)

Reigning Champions South Kerry won the County U-21 title for the fourth time in six years when overpowering Laune Rangers at a wet Austin Stack park in Tralee.

Billy O’Shea goaled for Laune Rangers to be followed by a Paul Curran goal for South Kerry to leave the interval score 1-8 tol-2.
John Quirke goaled for South Kerry on the resumption to lead by ten points. Laune Rangers did not give up and a Billy O’Sullivan goal reduced the margin but further scores by Peter Keane and Patrick Bums ensured a comfortable victory in the end. Outstanding for South Kerry was full back Adrian Riney well supp0l1ed by Brendie Kelly and Killian Bums. John Cronin showed his class while Paul Curran and Don Riney dominated centrefield. Up front Sean Pete O’Sullivan, Patrick Bums and Peter Keane were the pick of a first class attack. Indeed South Kerry captain Peter Keane was picking up his fourth County U-21 medal.

South Kerry 0-17 West Kerry 1-5
This was a performance of sheer excellence as South Kerry demolished a well ranked West Kerry side. It was an all-out committed team effort helped by a few superb individual performances most notably by Adrian Riney, John Daly, BaITy Clifford, Peter Keane, Michael Galvin and the inspirational Paul Curran at centrefield. Curran and Sean Pete O’Sullivan lorded it at centrefield and they led by 5 points after the first quarter. Cronin, Keane and a superb Paul Curran point from the sideline saw the southerners retire at half-time 11 points in front. West Kerry got a lifeline with a Weeshie Lynch penalty and Odhran O’Mahony made a great save but further South Kerry scores by Galvin, Keane and Man of the Match Curran nailed down a superb victory. West KelTY could never cope with the magnificence of their opponents.

South Kerry 2-9 Laune Rangers 3-5
En route to this final South Kerry enjoyed good victories over Clan na Gael, West Kerry and Killarney. This was one of the great finals. Laune Rangers will look back on a final they could have won but the gallant South Kerry men plucked victory from the jaws of defeat right at the death. Laune Rangers started much better and led by 2-2 to 0-5 after 20 minutes through goals by Michael Moriarty and Paul Gr~ffin. South Kerry’s fortunes turned w~ith a goal from a Maurice Fitzgerald free which ended up in the net to leave the sides level at half time. (more…)

South Kerry 0-11 Castleisland 0-8
Very wet and slippery undelfoot conditions militated against good football when South Kerry collected their second U-21 title in Tralee on the last Sunday before Christmas. South Kerry started well and led by 3 points to 1 after 15 minutes with Maurice Fitzgerald getting a good score from play. Castleisland struck back and with Mike Galway and Mike Brosnan on top at centrefield they led by 0-4 to 0-3 at the break assisted by two Brosnan frees.
Castleisland wasted chances early in the second half and South KelTY made more use of their possession to go in front through Maurice Fitzgerald and Karl O’Dwyer. South Kerry were three points to the good with 5 minutes to go but Castleisland closed the deficit to the minimum with time almost up. South Kerry gained the upper hand in the crucial last minutes and scores by Maurice Fitzgerald and Robbie O’Dwyer clinched a 3 point victory.
