Legion GAA Club News
Well done to our Legion’s under14s who qualified to represent Kerry in Féile after two tough qualifying games in Derreen and, in the process, they kept up a fine record by the club in the same competition.
The first game against Fossa was a tight affair with an early goal giving the visitors the advantage which necessitated two wonder goals from distance by Conor Gammell to save the day. Onwards to the final where the Legion boys faced another testing encounter against a very good Firies side. Once again it took another spectacular goal, this time from Jack O’Neill from a free, to see his side home.
Undoubtedly, the experience gained from these two difficult opponents will stand the Legion side in good stead. The same team also registered a solid win against Kenmare in the league which shows the potential in the panel.
Ladies: Congratulations to John Doona and his Kerry under 14 side who comfortably saw off Tipperary in a rather contentious replay, having considered to have infringed on the ‘sin bin” rules they put the set back behind them to deliver a great display, registering a whopping 7-5 in the process.
Well done too to Tara Murphy and Keri Ann Hanrahan who were part of the victorious Kerry under 16 side who won the Munster title against Tipperary. Once again, the ladies’ section shows the progress and high standard it has reached in a short number of years.
Fixture:,Killarney Legion v Kerins O’Rahillys in the county league at Derreen at 7pm on Saturday. All support greatly appreciated.
Deaths: The Killarney Legion club extends its deepest sympathy to the Hegarty family on the sad passing of Kathleen, RIP. Her husband, Dodo, has been an integral part of the club for many years and Kathleen was a sister of club vice president Pa McGillicuddy of Ballydribeen.
The club also extends its sincerest sympathy to the Kissane family, Knockasarknett, on the passing of Johnny, RIP. He was a great supporter of the club for many years.
