KILCUMMIN GAA NOTES WEEK ENDING 5TH OCTOBER 2025
BY DONAL BARRY
EAST KERRY
Five of our Senior team played pivotal roles for East Kerry in the Garvey’s Supervalu Senior county championship on Saturday in their 3-23 to 1-10 win over Templenoe. There were starts for Daragh O’Callaghan, Paul O Shea and Philip O Leary while Matt Keane and Sean O Leary were both introduced on the 40th minute. Paul O’Shea capped a fine performance scoring 1-3 while Philip O’Leary and Matt Keane both scored a point in a very one side performance. East Kerry will now play Rathmore in the Quarter Final next Saturday 11th October with a 2pm throw in at Fitzgerald Stadium.
JUNIORS
There was no joy for our juniors in the McElligott Shield Final on Sunday afternoon when they were defeated 3-12 to 0-14 by Killarney Legion at Fossa.
UNDER 14S
Hard luck to our Under 14 boys who just finished up short to Scartaglen on Sunday in the East Kerry Under 14 Division 1 final. In the end, Scart ran out 3-14 to 4-9 winners after an entertaining affair in which both sides gave it their all throughout. Despite opening the scoring through a fine Darragh Fleming score it was Scart that took the early initiative as they went 1-3 to 0-1 ahead after 15 minutes. A Max Moynihan point halted the flow of scores before Conor Gallivan added a fine point free. Back-to-back goals by Moynihan ensured the bare minimum at the break 2-5 to 2-4 with Scart leading the way. Moynihan levelled up matters on the restart before Conor Gallivan put Kilcummin ahead. Dan Barry saved off the line as the winners were held at bay before they found the next three scores as they began to kick on. A third Moynihan goal kept Kilcummin in touch 2-11to 3-7. On the 50th minute Scart struck for a third goal, but another Moynihan goal pegged them back to 3-14 to 4-8 heading into the final moments of this enthralling contest and despite a late free Kilcummin were unable to gain parity ahead of the full-time whistle. Well done to all the players and management for efforts throughout the season.
