SENIOR MEN
Our Senior men collected their fifth point of the County league campaign when they shared the spoils with neighbours Spa in Direen on Sunday afternoon . Having led the game for all but the first five minutes you could argue that it was a point dropped but when you consider the absentee list it could be construed as a point gained. Another huge positive was the return of James O Donoghue, who looked sharp when introduced. The first half saw both sides enjoy spells of dominance with Spa starting brightly. But Finbarr Murphy and Ryan O Grady alongside the marauding Eoghan O Sullivan and Cian Gammell soon put us 0-6 to 0-2 clear. It would have been more but for a fine save from Spa netminder Shay O Meara to deny Brian O Shea. Spa finished the half stronger though thanks to the promptings of playmaker Joey McCarthy and it was a slender 0-9 to 0-8 lead for Legion . David O Sullivan and Cian Gammell put some extra daylight in it but they would be thankful to custodian Brian Kelly who pulled off a magnificent stop. Finbarr  Murphy and Brian O Shea pushed it out to 0-13 to 0-10 but Spa eventually narrowed it back to one, thanks to a two pointer. Ryan O Grady replied in kind and when Darragh Lyne slipped another it was now 0-18 to 0-14. But derbies can be fickle as Spa mounted a strong comeback . James O Donoghue looked to have quelled that momentum with a point but Spa worked another two pointer through Joey McCarthy to divide the points. Final score Killarney Legion 0-19 Spa 0-19. 
Team..Brian Kelly,  Peter O Sullivan, Danny Sheahan, Conor Gammell,  Cian Gammell(0-2),  Jonathon Lyne, Eoghan O Sullivan (0-3),  Colm O Cuiv, Darragh Lyne (0-1), Finbarr Murphy(0-4) Peter McCarthy, Tom Benson(0-1), Brian O Shea(0-1), Ryan O Grady(0-5),  David O Sullivan(0-1)
Subs used: James O Donoghue(0-1) for Brian O Shea , Darragh Fleming for Colm O Cuiv , Jason O Sullivan for Tom Benson.
The Senior B team faced Finuge on the same day at the North Kerry venue. With a number of absentees across both panel it was  a big test of the playing resources and they put in a highly respectable performance to push Finuge all the way, before going down on a 1-13 to 1-11 scoreline.
