SENIOR MEN
A goal at crucial times in each half proved to be the undoing of our Senior Men's team against Rathmore in Direen on Friday night. It gave the visitors a 1-5 to 0-6 interval lead and just when they found their feet again, Rathmore struck for another in the second half. A penalty provided a lifeline late in the game but went to the left of the post and with it came the last chance of redemption. Final score Killarney Legion 0-12 Rathmore 2-10. A trip to Spa is next on the menu, on the weekend of May 18th/19th.

U15 BOYS
A Division 1 semi final against Keel / Listry lies in wait for our U15 boys despite going narrowly down to Firies last Wednesday evening. A high quality game saw the Farranfore outfit run out 2-13 to 0-17 winners. The second team had a great week with wins over Kerins O Rahillys / St Pats in Direen and Laune Rangers in Killorglin. Four wins out of four sees them qualified for the Division 9 semi final.
Over the weekend  James Murphy and Ronan O Brien were in action for the  Kerry South U15 team. They defeated Meath 1-13 to 1-7 in Moneygall.


U17 BOYS
The U17 Boys opened their East Kerry Division 1 campaign with a fine win over neighbours Dr Crokes in Direen. The seeds of victory were sown in the first half when Aindo O Cathasaigh plundered three goals to give them a six point halftime advantage. Typically Dr Crokes fought their way back into the game but the gap was still at four come games end. Final score Killarney Legion 5-8 Dr Crokes 2-13.

U12 LADIES
No game this week for this group but they did welcome a very special visitor to Direen when four time All Star and current Footballer of the Year Louise Ni Mhuircheartaigh called for a chat. She emphasised the importance of practising basic skills at every opportunity and urged them to continue to participate in football for as long as they can. 

U16 LADIES
They faced the unbeaten Fossa in Direen on Thursday evening and put in a battling display before eventually succumbing to a stronger team. But they have still qualified for the Division 2 B final on foot of other results in the group. The White team found Firies too tough a nut to crack on Friday evening but they will have benefitted no end from the extra games that having a second team brings. The U15 Feile competition is next on the agenda.

MINOR LADIES
The Minor ladies had a hard fought win over Na Gaeil and did all the hard work in the first half where they built up a healthy lead. A Na Gaeil comeback fell one point short in the end. Next up is a trip to Firies.
