INTERMEDIATE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
Our Senior Men made a winning start to Intermediate group stages with a 1-20 to 0-8 win over Currow in Farranfore last Sunday. The game was a slow burner with it really only opening up in the final quarter when a Will Shine goal put the gloss on the score line. A cagey first half saw the teams retire to the dressing rooms on double scores, 0-8 to 0-4. Peter McCarthy alongside Will, was scorer in chief with three points in the opening half, Eoghan O Sullivan and Ryan O Grady also getting in on the act. Currow struck for the opening point of the second half but it was only a signal for our lads to take control with Jamie Alade and substitute James O Donoghue amongst the scorers. Danny Sheahan stole forward from full back to slot over as did Shaun Keane who made a productive appearance in the second half. The scoring was completed by Cian Gammell and Thomas Moriarty alongside regular contributors Peter Mc and Shine. Tougher tests lie in wait, starting with the visit of Laune Rangers to Direen ,this Sunday at 2pm, in Round 2 with the final round involving an arduous trek to Kilcummin.

KERRY LADIES
Commiserations to the Ladies team who went down to Dublin in the TG4 All Ireland Championship final in Croke Park on Sunday. Never really getting a handle on the game they fought valiantly till the end. A bus from the club made the trip and aside from the obvious disappointment at the result a good trip was had by all.
