SENIOR MEN
A scintillating second half performance which yielded 1-17 was the main reason our Senior Men would carry the spoils in a very entertaining game played in Kilcummin. The hosts were in control at half time leading 2-5 to 0-5 but with the wind to their backs and utilising the space with quick fast ball the turnaround was completed and now leaves them with four points after three games. David O Sullivan opened the scoring but Kilcummin started to exert an influence hitting 2-5 to a solitary reply from Ryan OGrady. With 20 minutes gone Kilcummin led by nine points but points from Brian O'Shea and O Grady made the gap more manageable with the elements going to be in their favour. The opening ten minutes of the second half saw five  points added from O Grady, David O Sullivan sandwiching a fine goal from Brian O Shea. which tied up the game at 1-10 to 2-7.  All that work was nearly undone when Kilcummin slipped in another goal but it was only a temporary relapse . A further seven points were added including an O Grady two pointer which put them back in the box seat. Finbarr Murphy was responsible for another from outside the arc and when the final calculations were done the scoreboard read Killarney Legion 1-22 Kilcummin 3-10 . Considering the level of absentees due to injury this was a very impressive result and leaves them in good fettle for the visit of Spa on Sunday April 20th.

SENIOR LADIES
Our Senior ladies claimed a major scalp in the Donal Curtin Cup when they accounted for the Munster Senior Club Champions Castleisland Desmonds. Admittedly the Desmonds were short of their Kerry contingent but they would still be a very strong side who would be a test for anyone. The game played in the Limerick Road venue saw the hosts start strongly running into a 1-4 to 0-2 lead, Eve Coffey and Laura Healy getting the Legion scores. But the next period belonged to the visitors as Kerri Ann Hanrahan and Eve Coffey struck for points before Laura Healy slipped in a goal. The remainder of the half was evenly contested with Andrea Murphy and Kate McCarthy keeping their side in touch, 1-7 to 1-6. The Desmonds started the second half strongly hitting five points without reply but a halt was put to their gallop when Eve Coffey slung in a goal. Laura Healy and Anne Marie O Sullivan added further points to level up the game before Orianne McGillycuddy stole in for a goal. All the while the Legion defence held the Desmond attack at bay and Eve Coffey put the gloss on an outstanding 3-10 to 1-13 win.

Again into the wind we found ourselves 7 points down at half time. The lads played brilliantly in the second half and it ended up all square Killarney Legion 1-8 John Mitchels 3-2. 
In the final group game we met our great rivals from Firies. The team played very well to hold on to win by of point. The top 2 teams qualified for the final.
