SENIORS
Kilcummin exited the Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Club Championship on Sunday in Austin Stack Park in Tralee losing 3-14 to 0-20 to Fossa in a competitive semi-final that was still in the mix literally up to the last kick of the game.
Playing into a stiff wind Kilcummin would have been happy trailing 0-10 to 0-4 at the break despite conceding a few late scores to the winners coming up to the break.
The full impact of the conditions was seen to its full force as Kilcummin took a handful of minutes to chalk 5 points off the board within minutes of the restart. Philip O’Leary kick started the effort with a fine point before Keelan O’Shea punched over before Paul Shea added 0-3 (including a two pointer)
Then a much needed purple patch for the winners. Emmet O’Shea and Paddy Sheehan added points before David Clifford raised a green flag to wipe out much of the good work as Fossa went 1-12 to 0-9 ahead restoring their six point half time lead with 40 minutes on the clock.
Cian Foley stopped the rot with a fine score and despite Paudie Clifford adding another score. Kilcummin began to find their 2 point target sweet spot with Mark O’Shea, Cian Foley and O’Shea once again all raising orange flags to level up the contest 0-16 to 1-13
Fossa through Ted O’Gorman and Philip O’Leary with his 4th point of the afternoon keep the sides on parity ahead of frantic final ten minutes in which Fossa would find the net twice through Paddy Sheehan and Emmet O’Shea. On each occasion Kilcummin responded through Cian Foly’s 4th point of the day and Paul O’Shea with another two pointer to leave just 3 points between the sides with the clock heading into the red. There was to be one last chance but the width of the post would keep Kilcummin at bay as their Intermediate campaign came to an end. The Club is very proud of the efforts made by the players and management especially for the many great moments they have given the club over the campaign.
UNDER 14 BOYS
Congratulations to our Under 14 team that captured the Division 2A East Kerry league with a superb performance over a game Kenmare Shamrocks side on Tuesday evening.

Well done to all the players and management.
