Kilcummin GAA Notes (week ending 31st August 2025)
SENIORS
It took a late Shane McSweeney point in injury time to split the difference in what turned out to be a nail biting ending as Kilcummin secured their place in the last 4 of the Intermediate Club Championship as James Foley’s men saw off the challenge of Listowel 1-14 to 0-16 last Saturday evening. It was an ending that seemed far removed from the opening quarter in which Kilcummin at one stage led 1-7 to 0-1. A brace of two pointers from Philip O’Leary and Cian Foley ahead of the game only goal on the 8th minute when Kevin Gorman’s pass gave Mark O’Shea the time to shoot set up the perfect start. Listowel opened their account on the 15th minute and despite the home side hitting the next 3 points including a two pointer from Paul O Shea it was the North Kerry men that began to reel in the lead outscoring Kilcummin 0-6 to 0-2 at the alter end of the half to leave the score 1-8 to 0-7 at half time. In a nip and tuck second half Listowel finally got ahead on the 50th minute and moved two points clear with 7 minutes left on the clock. It would need a big effort to get back into the contest and two crucial Paul O’Shea catches at midfield ignited the response with scores from Matt Keane from play and a free before the drama unfolded with Todd collecting a ball taking a tackle and tapping over with his left leg as he has done many time before in his 23 years senior career which certainly isn’t over just yet with an Intermediate club semi-final to look forward to.
UNDER 14 BOYS
Hard luck to our Under 14B team that were defeated in the East Kerry Division 4 final to Firies on Friday evening. Having battled hard throughout Firies took control late on
UNDER 16 LADIES
Congratulations to the under 16 team who captured the Division 3 county final defeating Glenflesk 6-8 to 5-7. Some fine scores from Ellie O’Sullivan, Rhea Kate and Rebecca O Connell put Kilcummin into an early lead but it was Glenflesk that got on top towards halftime to take a 1-point lead into the break. A spirited second half by Kilcummin which included 2 goals by Ellie O Sullivan saw Kilcummin retake the lead and led by captain Hannah Kelliher the girls shut out Glenflesk despite the concession of a late goal.
Under 15 Ladies: It was great to see Melissa O Connor, Rebecca O Connell and Ella Kate Pigott represent Kerry in the Under 15 Munster PDP Blitz which took place in Mallow on Saturday. Well done girls.
