EAST KERRY MINOR CHAMPIONS
Congratulations to our minor boys who had a hard fought win in Fitzgerald Stadium last Sunday against our  neighbours  Dr Crokes. This finishes a long, but very rewarding year in which they won the County league Division 1 Shield and made the County Championship semi final . 
The game itself was a tight and tense affair, with Legion almost scoring a goal in the first minute, when Kevin Looney charged through but saw his shot come off the foot of the post. Legion playing into the wind spurned a number of goal and point chances in that first half, with Oisin Fleming, Jack Culloty and Brían Ó Sé almost raising the Green flag. A black card midway through the first half, gave the Crokes a numberical advantage but the damage on the scoreboard was minimised thanks to some resolute team defending. Crokes did use the wind to good offense to score a two pointer and a couple of scores to lead at the break by 0-6 to 0-3. The Crokes lead was eroded with fine scores from Samuel Scroope and Brian O'Shea.
Oisin Fleming left the field with a dislocated thumb and blood injury but with the generous help of the Crokes physio, he was back on the pitch within five minutes. Jack Culloty was replaced after a dead-leg injury by the equally dangerous Eoin Murphy, who got the breakthrough goal for Legion on the three quarters mark with an excellent finish to a backs to forwards break. Legion were on top but Crokes never gave up and from  play they worked a goal. Aindi O Cathasaigh who was injured in the build up to the goal was replaced with the industrious Sean Pierce and Legion restored their three point cushion after some good possession spells but Crokes pressed hard for a levelling goal and went close in the dying moments but when a Legion player emerged from the pack with the ball in the 64th minute - the boys in green would see out a famous win.The thoughts of the team and management are with our injured players Aindi, Oisin and Jake and we hope they make a swift recovery.
Thanks to the Crokes for another sporting game showcasing the footballing talent in Killarney and thanks to ref Evan Horan and his team of officials. We are very appreciative of the great support we had in the park today from across our great club. Final score Killarney Legion 1-13 Dr Crokes 1-10.
