Kilcummin GAA Notes (week ending 2nd February 2025)

By Donal Barry PRO

East Kerry Super League: Kilcummin opened up their East Kerry Super League campaign with a 2-point win on Sunday over Rathmore. In a very entertaining encounter, which featured the new FRC rules for the first time, It was Kilcummin that opened the quicker with a brace of Cian Foley points before Rathmore hit for a goal but the home side would reel off the next five scores and took a 0-7 to 1-2 lead with them to the break. The visitors dominated the third quarter as they powered into a five-point lead (1-9 to 0-7) hitting 7 unanswered points as Kilcummin struggled to get a foothold. All that would change in the final quarter. Mark O Shea would hit the first ever two pointer scored by a home player in Kilcummin and he would repeat the trick along with brother Paul as the scores finally began to flow a lot easier. Further scores by Matt Keane, Cian Foley and James Williams secured the win.

Next up for the Seniors is a short trip to Glenflesk for Round 2 in Div 1B.
 
Awards Night: Last Friday evening a packed clubhouse played host to the annual GAA Club Awards as we looked back at 2024 to recognise those who went the extra mile in what was a memorable year for the club.
The top award of Senior player of the year went to Sean O’Leary who has been inspirational both on and off the field in recent times. The Junior player of the award went to veteran Shane McSweeney who picked up the award for a second time in his career but was undone by son Tyler who picked up an Award for Mascot of the year. Cian Foley and James Williams both shared Young player of the year in a very competitive category with six of the starting 15 in the O’Donoghue Cup Final all under 20.
Kerry Under 20 player Dara O Callaghan received a special recognition award for the unique honour of being a 3-year Kerry under 20 player in which he made 10 appearances winning 3 Munster championships.
Mike O Riordan was given the recognition of service award for a lifetime involvement in Kilcummin GAA while Elaine Coffey was deserved winner of club person of the year. Elaine is a driving force behind the clubs Lotto.
East Kerry Junior League and O Sullivan Cup Medals were presented by East Kerry vice chairperson Garry O Halloran to our junior players while Conn O’Sullivan on behalf of the O’Sullivan family presented the man of the match award from the O Sullivan Cup final to Mark O’Shea. Conn gave a great speech remembering his late father Owen of which the competition was dedicated. 
Coiste na nÓg: With the new season quickly approaching we wish the new Coiste na nÓg Committee all the best of luck under the guidance of new Chairperson Phillip O Connor, Secretary Julieann Lane, Treasurer Maureen Fleming, Assistant Treasurer Karen Sheahan and PRO Donal Barry
 
Condolences: The Club would like to extend their condolences to our U16 player Mark McSharry and the extended McSharry and Morrissey families on the sad passing of Jack McSharry. May he rest in peace.
 
The death took place recently in London of Jerry Teahan formerly of Cockhill Kilcummin. Jerry played in the 1960 defeat by St Finians Hospital in the East Kerry County League final and missed out on the 1961 victory against the same opposition in the same competition as he emigrated to England. Kilcummin GAA extend their sympathies to his family in London and to his relatives in Kilcummin.

By Donal Barry PRO

 

East Kerry Super League: The Senior team will resume action on Sunday February 2nd when they play their first game of the season at home (1pm) as they take on Rathmore in a tasty repeat of the O Donoghue Cup Final. They will also face Glenflesk, Gneevegulla and Dr Crokes in Division 1B.

College Football: Hard luck to our Kilcummin players who played with St Brendan’s College in the Taft Cup Final against Tralee CBS. Unfortunately, they lost out 1-18 to 0-18 after extra time. Darragh Keane, Daniel O Sullivan, Oran Lynch, Derry O Gorman, Cian Maher and Darragh Forde were all part of the St Brendan’s Panel.
Meanwhile it was better news for Dara Stack, Zach Cronin, Aaron Buckley and Gavin Morrissey who were part of the victorious St Brendan’s side that defeated Pobal Scoil Inbhearr Sceine in the Corn Ui Mhuiri Cup semi-final which was played in Mallow. Diarmuid O’Callaghan is also a member of the team’s backroom team. It was great to see former Kilcummin juvenile player Jack Tagney play a prominent role for the Kenmare side. We wish the boys the best of luck in the final against Mercy Mounthawk in 2 weeks.

 

Membership: Club Membership is now due for Adults and Juveniles as well as Track Membership and Gym Membership. You can do this on the Foireann App, or you can contact club registrar John Purcell with any queries

 

Retirement: After 12 years at the helm Club PRO Mike Riordan has stepped down from the role. A massive thanks for all those great years of service keeping the club flow of information going.

 

Brendan Martin Cup: It was great to see the Brendan Martin Cup at the Club on Sunday night. For the first time in 31 years, it is back in Kerry hands, and it was a historic night that is sure to inspire the many young Kilcummin players who dream of playing for Kerry. On the night they were presentations made to Ailbhe O Callaghan and Rhea Kate Devane who made the Kerry under 14 training squad (2024). There was also Awards made to both Coolick and Kilcummin National Schools as part of the Club School Links Programme.

Club Notes 30th December, 2024.

O Sullivan Cup Final  ( After extra time )   

Kilcummin 1–17, Glenflesk 2-14. Kilcummin win on penalties.

This final played in Kilcummin on Saturday kept the large crowd entertained throughout and it took penalties ( nine each ) to separate the teams after extra time.

The sides were level at half time 0-08 to 1-05 with points coming from Mark O Shea (0-4) Paudie Moynihan (0-2) and one each from Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley.

The second half saw both teams trading scores but when Glenflesk enjoyed a three point lead late in the game we rallied well and finished the match level on a scoreline 0-13 to 1-10. Our second half points came from the boot of Philip O Leary, Keith O Leary  ( 45′), Mark O Shea, Mikey O Shea and Paudie Moynihan.

Extra time saw us again trade scores with Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan Richie O Connor and Mark O Shea with his sixth point keeping us in touch but a minute  into injury time we trailed by two points. Mark O Shea won a free around the 45 metre line and lofted a ball into the square for Shane McSweeney to fist to  the net. There was still time for Glenflesk to secure an equalising free and so, we faced into penalties. Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan, Richie O Connor, Mark O Shea and Matt Keane stepped forward and after nine penalties and three excellent saves from Keith O Leary in goal Jack Fogarty captain raised the O Sullivan Cup for his team mates.

In goal Keith O Leary affected some good saves throughout.

In defence  Jack Fogarty, Damien O Leary and Dara Stack were outstanding and were well supported by James Williams, Oisin O Leary and Mikey O Shea.

Shane McSweeney and Colm Kelleher were very effective in midfield while Cian Lynch, Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley in the half forward line worked tirelessly both in attack and helping out in defence when needed. The full forward line of Gavin Cronin , Paudie Moynihan and “Man of the Match” Mark O Shea contributed nine points between them and kept the Glenflesk backs busy.

The substitutions used were Philip O Leary, Matt Keane , Richie O Connor, Sean Doolan, Danny Cronin and Gavin Morrissey and had a huge bearing on the result.

Well done to mentors Dara Lehane, Tom O Shea, Jas Foley, Fergal Griffin, DJ Fleming and all players involved

Team: Keith O Leary, Jack Fogarty, Damien O Leary, James Williams, Oisin O Leary, Dara Stack, Mikey O Shea, Shane McSweeney, Colm Kelleher, Cian Lynch. Cian Foley, Aaron Buckley. Paudie Moynihan, Mark O Shea, Gavin Cronin. Subs used  Philip O Leary, Matt Keane, Richie O’Connor, Sean Doolan, Danny Cronin and Gavin Morrissey.

O Donoghue Cup Final 2024

Rathmore 1- 12  Kilcummin 2-07

Despite a great effort and total commitment from players and management we came up short in Fitzgerald’ stadium last Sunday losing out by two points to a strong Rathmore outfit.

We started well with a Paul OShea free and a fine long range effort from Keelan O Shea. Rathmore responded with two points but Matt Keane put us back in front after 12 minutes from play. Paul O Shea added two further points from play and from a placed ball. At this stage our defence was playing really well and we were breaking fast up field to get our scores but Rathmore settled their ship with two further points to leave us ahead by just a point with five minutes left in the first half. A quick ball out of defence found Mark O Shea bearing down on goal but the Rathmore goalie saved brilliantly. From the resultant 45 metre Matt Keane claimed the ball and finished expertly to the net. When Paul O Shea pointed a further free we led at half time by five points 1-6 to 0-4.

Rathmore started quickly in the second half and had scored a goal and a point  by the sixth minute. However our players were dangerous on the break and following a great move Matt Keane stepped in again to find the net after ten minutes to leave us ahead by four points 2-06 to 1-05. Rathmore made some changes and their impact was evident as they kicked the next five points to lead by a point with five minutes remaining. Our boys were not giving up and when Paul O Shea pointed the sides were level with five minutes remaining and our supporters were hopeful.but credit to Rathmore who added two late points to run out deserving winners despite a phenomenal effort from a young Kilcummin team. Final score Rathmore 1-12 Kilcummin 2-07.

Special mention must go to Matt Keane who was named “Man of the Match” just reward for a tremendous effort on his behalf scoring  2-01 and defending when needed.

Well done to the team and mentors and we can only benefit from the experience going forward.

Team:  Brendan Kealy, Dara Stack, Chris O Leary, James Williams, Sean O Leary, Dara O Callaghan, Keelan O Shea,(0-1) Paul O Shea, (0-5) Dan Moynihan, Philip O Leary, Cian Foley, Danny Cronin, Matt Keane (2-01), Kevin Gorman, Mark O Shea. Subs used: Donal Maher, Gary O Leary, Shane McSweeney, Noel Duggan.

This has been a good campaign with wins over Firies, Spa and Dr Crokes and great credit is due to the manager, James Foley, selectors D.J.Fleming and Fergal Griffin and entire backup team.

Club Notes 4th December, 2023

O Donoghue Cup Q/F
Kilcummin 0-17,  Firies 0-10
This was indeed a novel pairing as few could remember when these two sides last met in a championship game. Kilcummin may have been favourites but Firies with a lively young team, driven on by the likes of Jack Sherwood and Niall O Donoghue, took the game to the home team early on. However, our lads settled and in a good fifteen minute spell opened up a six point gap and led by four at the break. Kilcummin 0-10, Firies 0-6. A feature of this half was that Kilcummin scored nine of their ten points from play spread out over seven players.
We generally had the better of the second half but wasted a lot of scoring opportunities allowing Firies to remain in contention. However with Keith O Leary saving a goal chance, Chris O’ Leary and Donal Maher outstanding in defence, Paul O Shea dominant in midfield and Gary O’ Leary and Danny Cronin shining upfront we imposed ourselves in the last ten minutes and ran out comfortable winners by seven points. We now play Legion in the semi-final this Sunday @ 2pm.
Paul O Shea was presented by the Aquila Club “Man of the Match” after the game.
Team:  Keith O Leary, Kevin McSweeney, Chris O Leary, Damien O Leary, Sean O Leary, Dara O Callaghan, Donal Maher, Kevin Gorman, Paul O Shea, Mark O Shea, Danny Cronin, Cian Foley, Eoghan O Donovan, Gary O Leary, Philip O Leary. Subs used: James Nagle, Mikey O Shea, Oisin O Leary.

East Kerry Champions

Kilcummin 2-7, Kenmare 1-7

Congratulations to our minor team who were crowned East Kerry champions by virtue of their victory over Kenmare on Sunday last which was played in Dirreen. This was a tense affair early on between these two teams who have become very accustomed to each other over the last few years. With both defences on top, scores were hard to come by but at half time Kilcummin were leading by two points 1-4 to 1-2. Kenmares first score came from the penalty spot but Sean Doolan balanced the books when he slotted home a penalty of his own 20 minutes into the game. In the second half both teams traded points with Aaron Buckley, Sean Doolan and Sean Maher accounting for Kilcummin’s scores but the killer blow was delivered by Bobby Gallivan when he fisted a cross to the Kenmare net after great work by Luke Daly. After that the Kilcummin defence marshalled by the outstanding Dara Stack kept the opposition at bay and when the final whistle blew there were scenes of great joy and some relief that this young team had at last got the reward their efforts deserved. Well done to the entire panel and mentors David Kearney, Tommy Brosnan, Paul O Donoghue and Kieran O Donoghue.

Team: Dylan Cronin, Connie Counihan, Sean Maher, Jake Dann, Cian Forde, Dara Stack, Kieran Nagle, Keelan O Shea ( Capt ), Gavin Morrissey, Ronan McCarthy, Luke Daly, Bobby Gallivan, Aaron Buckley, Sean Doolan, Gavin Cronin, Subs Used Jack Ahern, Zack Cronin, Panel Oscar Lovett, Callum McCarthy, T.J.Healy, Sean O Leary, Killian O Gorman, Cormac Purcell, Colm Janot, Dara O Brien, Bobby Keane, Odhran O Shea, Fionn McGuire, Dara Moynihan, Sean Cox.

Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Club Championship

Kilcummin 4-19 Currow 2-9. Following our victory over Laune Rangers in Rd 1 we travelled to Currow on Saturday knowing that a victory would most likely qualify us for the Quarter-Finals of the Intermediate Club Championship. We started brightly kicking over six points without reply but Currow settled and fought back with a goal and reduced the arrears to four points. A splendid goal from Sean O Leary got us back on track and we lead 1-12 to 1-3 at half time. We dominated the second half and goals by Philip O Leary twice and Mark O Shea saw us run out comfortable winners.

Team Keith O Leary, Kevin McSweeney, Chris O Leary, James Devane, Sean O Leary, Dara O Callaghan, Donal Maher, Kevin Gorman, Paul O Shea, Mark O Shea, Gary O Leary, Cian Foley, Eoghan O Donovan, Noel Duggan, Philip O Leary. Subs Used James Nagle, Damien O Leary, Shane McSweeney, Padraigh Moynihan, Mikey O Shea.

Next weekend we welcome Killarney Legion to Kilcummin in what should decide the group with the winners securing home advantage for the Quarter finals.

Oskars 

Excitement is building for the upcoming OsKars event incorporating Kilcummin and Glenflesk.

With fundraisers being arranged at present and attention turning to rehearsals in September a lot of work has gone on in the background by the committee in securing sponsorship. We welcome KWD’s sponsorship again as they did in the previous event in 2018. Everyone involved is working hard to make the December event a really successful occasion and generate much needed funds for both clubs.

 **********************************

 

Function

The 1973 Kilcummin Senior Football Team will come together for their Golden Jubilee gathering on Saturday the 26th August, to acknowledge that memorable year.

Many of the team reside outside the county, and two outside the country, but will make the trip from Dublin, Kildare, Limerick and Cork. Sean O Connor, our Goalkeeper, is making the trip home from Australia, where he moved after 73, and Monty O Sullivan is travelling from Boston.

We have sadly lost a few comrades over the years, but they will be represented by family members. The Gathering is being organised by Team members Sean Kelly and Billy Doolan.

Gneeveguilla V Kilcummin, 14th May 2023

Kilcummin began well in this game aided by the wind in the first half and led 1-3 to no score after 10 minutes, with Shane mc Sweeney finding the net. After 25 minutes gone Kilcummin led 1-7 to 3 points and were unlucky not to add another goal, the crossbar saving the home team. This seemed to ignite Gneeveguilla and within the next 5 minutes they had three goals scored and taken the lead.  The half time score was Gneeveguilla 3-4, to Kilcummin 1-8.

Kilcummin introduced Noel Duggan and James Williams. This saw Eoin O Donovan move to wing back which seemed to bring Kilcummin back into the game. They dominated the next 15 to 20 minutes scoring 1 – 5 without reply.  A cracking goal from Donal Maher and a Paul O Shea dispatched penalty on the 55th minute to leave the scores 3-10 to 3-13. Gneeveguilla kept attacking and forced Brendan Kealy to make a spectacular save with 3 minutes or so remaining. Kilcummin were not prepared to try and hold the 3 point lead with 4 minutes injury time to be played. A great move from defence all the way to the full forward line resulted in a Noel Duggan goal.  The final score was Gneeveguilla 3-10 to Kilcummin 4-13.

There were many very good performances on the Kilcummin side but Eoin O Donovan’s contribution in the second half from wing back was immense and saw him intercept ball after ball and launch many of the Kilcummin attacks which brought them back into the game and keep them in contention at the top of Division 1.

Scorers for Kilcummin:

Paul O Shea 1-4

Shane Mc Sweeney, Donal Maher and Noel Duggan – One goal each.

Cian Foley – 2 points

Philip Casey – 2 points

Points each for , Chris O Leary, James Nagle, Mark O Shea, Sean O Leary and Eoin O Donovan

Kerins O Rahillys 1-12, Kilcummin 2-11

Our senior team manufactured an amazing comeback to defeat Kerins O Rahillys in Tralee last Saturday and claim two points that sees us top the Division facing into a two week break.

Trailing by nine points with 15 minutes remaining a Shane McSweeney goal ignited the team after what had been a lack lustre performance up till then. Five points and a further goal from Philip O Leary without reply saw us run out winners by two points and sent our supporters home with a smile on their faces and delighted with the character shown by the players. Next up is an away fixture against Gneeveguilla in two weeks.

Our defence was solid throughout with midfield in control also, underlining the improvement of the players and highlighting the work being done by the mentors.

Tarbert 2-6, Kilcummin 1-7

Played in Brosna on Monday evening both teams played their part in an entertaining game in difficult conditions. Kilcummin were on top throughout the the first half and lead 1-4 to 1-1 at half time. Sean Doolan scored the goal after a brilliant pass by Luke Daly while Gavin Morrissey, Keelan O Shea , Cian Forde and Sean Doolan were our point takers. That goal just on the stroke of half time and another one shortly after the break gave Tarbert the confidence and impetus and try as did we were unable to recover the control we had in the first half.

O Sullivan Cup Final  ( After extra time )   

Kilcummin 1–17, Glenflesk 2-14. Kilcummin win on penalties.

This final played in Kilcummin on Saturday kept the large crowd entertained throughout and it took penalties ( nine each ) to separate the teams after extra time.

The sides were level at half time 0-08 to 1-05 with points coming from Mark O Shea (0-4) Paudie Moynihan (0-2) and one each from Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley.

The second half saw both teams trading scores but when Glenflesk enjoyed a three point lead late in the game we rallied well and finished the match level on a scoreline 0-13 to 1-10. Our second half points came from the boot of Philip O Leary, Keith O Leary  ( 45′), Mark O Shea, Mikey O Shea and Paudie Moynihan.

Extra time saw us again trade scores with Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan Richie O Connor and Mark O Shea with his sixth point keeping us in touch but a minute  into injury time we trailed by two points. Mark O Shea won a free around the 45 metre line and lofted a ball into the square for Shane McSweeney to fist to  the net. There was still time for Glenflesk to secure an equalising free and so, we faced into penalties. Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan, Richie O Connor, Mark O Shea and Matt Keane stepped forward and after nine penalties and three excellent saves from Keith O Leary in goal Jack Fogarty captain raised the O Sullivan Cup for his team mates.

In goal Keith O Leary affected some good saves throughout.

In defence  Jack Fogarty, Damien O Leary and Dara Stack were outstanding and were well supported by James Williams, Oisin O Leary and Mikey O Shea.

Shane McSweeney and Colm Kelleher were very effective in midfield while Cian Lynch, Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley in the half forward line worked tirelessly both in attack and helping out in defence when needed. The full forward line of Gavin Cronin , Paudie Moynihan and “Man of the Match” Mark O Shea contributed nine points between them and kept the Glenflesk backs busy.

The substitutions used were Philip O Leary, Matt Keane , Richie O Connor, Sean Doolan, Danny Cronin and Gavin Morrissey and had a huge bearing on the result.

Well done to mentors Dara Lehane, Tom O Shea, Jas Foley, Fergal Griffin, DJ Fleming and all players involved

O Donoghue Cup Final 2024

Rathmore 1- 12  Kilcummin 2-07

Despite a great effort and total commitment from players and management we came up short in Fitzgerald’ stadium last Sunday losing out by two points to a strong Rathmore outfit.

We started well with a Paul OShea free and a fine long range effort from Keelan O Shea. Rathmore responded with two points but Matt Keane put us back in front after 12 minutes from play. Paul O Shea added two further points from play and from a placed ball. At this stage our defence was playing really well and we were breaking fast up field to get our scores but Rathmore settled their ship with two further points to leave us ahead by just a point with five minutes left in the first half. A quick ball out of defence found Mark O Shea bearing down on goal but the Rathmore goalie saved brilliantly. From the resultant 45 metre Matt Keane claimed the ball and finished expertly to the net. When Paul O Shea pointed a further free we led at half time by five points 1-6 to 0-4.

Rathmore started quickly in the second half and had scored a goal and a point  by the sixth minute. However our players were dangerous on the break and following a great move Matt Keane stepped in again to find the net after ten minutes to leave us ahead by four points 2-06 to 1-05. Rathmore made some changes and their impact was evident as they kicked the next five points to lead by a point with five minutes remaining. Our boys were not giving up and when Paul O Shea pointed the sides were level with five minutes remaining and our supporters were hopeful.but credit to Rathmore who added two late points to run out deserving winners despite a phenomenal effort from a young Kilcummin team. Final score Rathmore 1-12 Kilcummin 2-07.

Special mention must go to Matt Keane who was named “Man of the Match” just reward for a tremendous effort on his behalf scoring  2-01 and defending when needed.

Well done to the team and mentors and we can only benefit from the experience going forward.

Team  Brendan Kealy, Dara Stack, Chris O Leary, James Williams, Sean O Leary, Dara O Callaghan, Keelan O Shea,(0-1) Paul O Shea, (0-5) Dan Moynihan, Philip O Leary, Cian Foley, Danny Cronin, Matt Keane (2-01), Kevin Gorman, Mark O Shea. Subs used   Donal Maher, Gary O Leary, Shane McSweeney, Noel Duggan.

O Donoghue Cup Q/F
Kilcummin 0-17,  Firies 0-10
This was indeed a novel pairing as few could remember when these two sides last met in a championship game. Kilcummin may have been favourites but Firies with a lively young team, driven on by the likes of Jack Sherwood and Niall O Donoghue, took the game to the home team early on. However, our lads settled and in a good fifteen minute spell opened up a six point gap and led by four at the break. Kilcummin 0-10, Firies 0-6. A feature of this half was that Kilcummin scored nine of their ten points from play spread out over seven players.
We generally had the better of the second half but wasted a lot of scoring opportunities allowing Firies to remain in contention. However with Keith O Leary saving a goal chance, Chris O’ Leary and Donal Maher outstanding in defence, Paul O Shea dominant in midfield and Gary O’ Leary and Danny Cronin shining upfront we imposed ourselves in the last ten minutes and ran out comfortable winners by seven points. We now play Legion in the semi-final this Sunday @ 2pm.

East Kerry Champions

Kilcummin 2-7, Kenmare 1-7

Congratulations to our minor team who were crowned East Kerry champions by virtue of their victory over Kenmare on Sunday last which was played in Dirreen. This was a tense affair early on between these two teams who have become very accustomed to each other over the last few years. With both defences on top, scores were hard to come by but at half time Kilcummin were leading by two points 1-4 to 1-2. Kenmares first score came from the penalty spot but Sean Doolan balanced the books when he slotted home a penalty of his own 20 minutes into the game. In the second half both teams traded points with Aaron Buckley, Sean Doolan and Sean Maher accounting for Kilcummin’s scores but the killer blow was delivered by Bobby Gallivan when he fisted a cross to the Kenmare net after great work by Luke Daly. After that the Kilcummin defence marshalled by the outstanding Dara Stack kept the opposition at bay and when the final whistle blew there were scenes of great joy and some relief that this young team had at last got the reward their efforts deserved. Well done to the entire panel and mentors David Kearney, Tommy Brosnan, Paul O Donoghue and Kieran O Donoghue.

Excitement is building for the upcoming OsKars event incorporating Kilcummin and Glenflesk.

With fundraisers being arranged at present and attention turning to rehearsals in September a lot of work has gone on in the background by the committee in securing sponsorship. We welcome KWD’s sponsorship again as they did in the previous event in 2018. Everyone involved is working hard to make the December event a really successful occasion and generate much needed funds for both clubs.

 

 

Function

The 1973 Kilcummin Senior Football Team will come together for their Golden Jubilee gathering on Saturday the 26th August, to acknowledge that memorable year.

Many of the team reside outside the county, and two outside the country, but will make the trip from Dublin, Kildare, Limerick and Cork. Sean O Connor, our Goalkeeper, is making the trip home from Australia, where he moved after 73, and Monty O Sullivan is travelling from Boston.

We have sadly lost a few comrades over the years, but they will be represented by family members. The Gathering is being organised by Team members Sean Kelly and Billy Doolan.

Gneeveguilla V Kilcummin, 14th May 2023

Kilcummin began well in this game aided by the wind in the first half and led 1-3 to no score after 10 minutes, with Shane mc Sweeney finding the net. After 25 minutes gone Kilcummin led 1-7 to 3 points and were unlucky not to add another goal, the crossbar saving the home team. This seemed to ignite Gneeveguilla and within the next 5 minutes they had three goals scored and taken the lead.  The half time score was Gneeveguilla 3-4, to Kilcummin 1-8.

Kilcummin introduced Noel Duggan and James Williams. This saw Eoin O Donovan move to wing back which seemed to bring Kilcummin back into the game. They dominated the next 15 to 20 minutes scoring 1 – 5 without reply.  A cracking goal from Donal Maher and a Paul O Shea dispatched penalty on the 55th minute to leave the scores 3-10 to 3-13. Gneeveguilla kept attacking and forced Brendan Kealy to make a spectacular save with 3 minutes or so remaining. Kilcummin were not prepared to try and hold the 3 point lead with 4 minutes injury time to be played. A great move from defence all the way to the full forward line resulted in a Noel Duggan goal.  The final score was Gneeveguilla 3-10 to Kilcummin 4-13.

There were many very good performances on the Kilcummin side but Eoin O Donovan’s contribution in the second half from wing back was immense and saw him intercept ball after ball and launch many of the Kilcummin attacks which brought them back into the game and keep them in contention at the top of Division 1.

Scorers for Kilcummin:

Paul O Shea 1-4

Shane Mc Sweeney, Donal Maher and Noel Duggan – One goal each.

Cian Foley – 2 points

Philip Casey – 2 points

Points each for , Chris O Leary, James Nagle, Mark O Shea, Sean O Leary and Eoin O Donovan

Sean Doolan scored the goal after a brilliant pass by Luke Daly while Gavin Morrissey, Keelan O Shea , Cian Forde and Sean Doolan were our point takers. That goal just on the stroke of half time and another one shortly after the break gave Tarbert the confidence and impetus and try as did we were unable to recover the control we had in the first half.

O Sullivan Cup Final  ( After extra time )   

Kilcummin 1–17, Glenflesk 2-14. Kilcummin win on penalties.

This final played in Kilcummin on Saturday kept the large crowd entertained throughout and it took penalties ( nine each ) to separate the teams after extra time.

The sides were level at half time 0-08 to 1-05 with points coming from Mark O Shea (0-4) Paudie Moynihan (0-2) and one each from Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley.

The second half saw both teams trading scores but when Glenflesk enjoyed a three point lead late in the game we rallied well and finished the match level on a scoreline 0-13 to 1-10. Our second half points came from the boot of Philip O Leary, Keith O Leary  ( 45′), Mark O Shea, Mikey O Shea and Paudie Moynihan.

Extra time saw us again trade scores with Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan Richie O Connor and Mark O Shea with his sixth point keeping us in touch but a minute  into injury time we trailed by two points. Mark O Shea won a free around the 45 metre line and lofted a ball into the square for Shane McSweeney to fist to  the net. There was still time for Glenflesk to secure an equalising free and so, we faced into penalties. Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan, Richie O Connor, Mark O Shea and Matt Keane stepped forward and after nine penalties and three excellent saves from Keith O Leary in goal Jack Fogarty captain raised the O Sullivan Cup for his team mates.

In goal Keith O Leary affected some good saves throughout.

In defence  Jack Fogarty, Damien O Leary and Dara Stack were outstanding and were well supported by James Williams, Oisin O Leary and Mikey O Shea.

Shane McSweeney and Colm Kelleher were very effective in midfield while Cian Lynch, Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley in the half forward line worked tirelessly both in attack and helping out in defence when needed. The full forward line of Gavin Cronin , Paudie Moynihan and “Man of the Match” Mark O Shea contributed nine points between them and kept the Glenflesk backs busy.

The substitutions used were Philip O Leary, Matt Keane , Richie O Connor, Sean Doolan, Danny Cronin and Gavin Morrissey and had a huge bearing on the result.

Well done to mentors Dara Lehane, Tom O Shea, Jas Foley, Fergal Griffin, DJ Fleming and all players involved

O Donoghue Cup Final 2024

Rathmore 1- 12  Kilcummin 2-07

Despite a great effort and total commitment from players and management we came up short in Fitzgerald’ stadium last Sunday losing out by two points to a strong Rathmore outfit.

We started well with a Paul OShea free and a fine long range effort from Keelan O Shea. Rathmore responded with two points but Matt Keane put us back in front after 12 minutes from play. Paul O Shea added two further points from play and from a placed ball. At this stage our defence was playing really well and we were breaking fast up field to get our scores but Rathmore settled their ship with two further points to leave us ahead by just a point with five minutes left in the first half. A quick ball out of defence found Mark O Shea bearing down on goal but the Rathmore goalie saved brilliantly. From the resultant 45 metre Matt Keane claimed the ball and finished expertly to the net. When Paul O Shea pointed a further free we led at half time by five points 1-6 to 0-4.

Rathmore started quickly in the second half and had scored a goal and a point  by the sixth minute. However our players were dangerous on the break and following a great move Matt Keane stepped in again to find the net after ten minutes to leave us ahead by four points 2-06 to 1-05. Rathmore made some changes and their impact was evident as they kicked the next five points to lead by a point with five minutes remaining. Our boys were not giving up and when Paul O Shea pointed the sides were level with five minutes remaining and our supporters were hopeful.but credit to Rathmore who added two late points to run out deserving winners despite a phenomenal effort from a young Kilcummin team. Final score Rathmore 1-12 Kilcummin 2-07.

Special mention must go to Matt Keane who was named “Man of the Match” just reward for a tremendous effort on his behalf scoring  2-01 and defending when needed.

Well done to the team and mentors and we can only benefit from the experience going forward.

Team  Brendan Kealy, Dara Stack, Chris O Leary, James Williams, Sean O Leary, Dara O Callaghan, Keelan O Shea,(0-1) Paul O Shea, (0-5) Dan Moynihan, Philip O Leary, Cian Foley, Danny Cronin, Matt Keane (2-01), Kevin Gorman, Mark O Shea.

O Donoghue Cup Q/F
Kilcummin 0-17,  Firies 0-10
This was indeed a novel pairing as few could remember when these two sides last met in a championship game. Kilcummin may have been favourites but Firies with a lively young team, driven on by the likes of Jack Sherwood and Niall O Donoghue, took the game to the home team early on. However, our lads settled and in a good fifteen minute spell opened up a six point gap and led by four at the break. Kilcummin 0-10, Firies 0-6. A feature of this half was that Kilcummin scored nine of their ten points from play spread out over seven players.
We generally had the better of the second half but wasted a lot of scoring opportunities allowing Firies to remain in contention. However with Keith O Leary saving a goal chance, Chris O’ Leary and Donal Maher outstanding in defence, Paul O Shea dominant in midfield and Gary O’ Leary and Danny Cronin shining upfront we imposed ourselves in the last ten minutes and ran out comfortable winners by seven points.

East Kerry Champions

Kilcummin 2-7, Kenmare 1-7

Congratulations to our minor team who were crowned East Kerry champions by virtue of their victory over Kenmare on Sunday last which was played in Dirreen. This was a tense affair early on between these two teams who have become very accustomed to each other over the last few years. With both defences on top, scores were hard to come by but at half time Kilcummin were leading by two points 1-4 to 1-2. Kenmares first score came from the penalty spot but Sean Doolan balanced the books when he slotted home a penalty of his own 20 minutes into the game. In the second half both teams traded points with Aaron Buckley, Sean Doolan and Sean Maher accounting for Kilcummin’s scores but the killer blow was delivered by Bobby Gallivan when he fisted a cross to the Kenmare net after great work by Luke Daly. After that the Kilcummin defence marshalled by the outstanding Dara Stack kept the opposition at bay and when the final whistle blew there were scenes of great joy and some relief that this young team had at last got the reward their efforts deserved. Well done to the entire panel and mentors David Kearney, Tommy Brosnan, Paul O Donoghue and Kieran O Donoghue.

Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Club Championship

Kilcummin 4-19 Currow 2-9. Following our victory over Laune Rangers in Rd 1 we travelled to Currow on Saturday knowing that a victory would most likely qualify us for the Quarter-Finals of the Intermediate Club Championship. We started brightly kicking over six points without reply but Currow settled and fought back with a goal and reduced the arrears to four points. A splendid goal from Sean O Leary got us back on track and we lead 1-12 to 1-3 at half time. We dominated the second half and goals by Philip O Leary twice and Mark O Shea saw us run out comfortable winners.

Oskars 

Excitement is building for the upcoming OsKars event incorporating Kilcummin and Glenflesk.

With fundraisers being arranged at present and attention turning to rehearsals in September a lot of work has gone on in the background by the committee in securing sponsorship. We welcome KWD’s sponsorship again as they did in the previous event in 2018. Everyone involved is working hard to make the December event a really successful occasion and generate much needed funds for both clubs.

 

 

Function

The 1973 Kilcummin Senior Football Team will come together for their Golden Jubilee gathering on Saturday the 26th August, to acknowledge that memorable year.

Many of the team reside outside the county, and two outside the country, but will make the trip from Dublin, Kildare, Limerick and Cork. Sean O Connor, our Goalkeeper, is making the trip home from Australia, where he moved after 73, and Monty O Sullivan is travelling from Boston.

We have sadly lost a few comrades over the years, but they will be represented by family members. The Gathering is being organised by Team members Sean Kelly and Billy Doolan.

Gneeveguilla V Kilcummin, 14th May 2023

Kilcummin began well in this game aided by the wind in the first half and led 1-3 to no score after 10 minutes, with Shane mc Sweeney finding the net. After 25 minutes gone Kilcummin led 1-7 to 3 points and were unlucky not to add another goal, the crossbar saving the home team. This seemed to ignite Gneeveguilla and within the next 5 minutes they had three goals scored and taken the lead.  The half time score was Gneeveguilla 3-4, to Kilcummin 1-8.

Kilcummin introduced Noel Duggan and James Williams. This saw Eoin O Donovan move to wing back which seemed to bring Kilcummin back into the game. They dominated the next 15 to 20 minutes scoring 1 – 5 without reply.  A cracking goal from Donal Maher and a Paul O Shea dispatched penalty on the 55th minute to leave the scores 3-10 to 3-13. Gneeveguilla kept attacking and forced Brendan Kealy to make a spectacular save with 3 minutes or so remaining. Kilcummin were not prepared to try and hold the 3 point lead with 4 minutes injury time to be played. A great move from defence all the way to the full forward line resulted in a Noel Duggan goal.  The final score was Gneeveguilla 3-10 to Kilcummin 4-13.

There were many very good performances on the Kilcummin side but Eoin O Donovan’s contribution in the second half from wing back was immense and saw him intercept ball after ball and launch many of the Kilcummin attacks which brought them back into the game and keep them in contention at the top of Division 1.

Scorers for Kilcummin:

Paul O Shea 1-4

Shane Mc Sweeney, Donal Maher and Noel Duggan – One goal each.

Cian Foley – 2 points

Philip Casey – 2 points

Points each for , Chris O Leary, James Nagle, Mark O Shea, Sean O Leary and Eoin O Donovan

The second half saw both teams trading scores but when Glenflesk enjoyed a three point lead late in the game we rallied well and finished the match level on a scoreline 0-13 to 1-10. Our second half points came from the boot of Philip O Leary, Keith O Leary  ( 45′), Mark O Shea, Mikey O Shea and Paudie Moynihan.

Extra time saw us again trade scores with Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan Richie O Connor and Mark O Shea with his sixth point keeping us in touch but a minute  into injury time we trailed by two points. Mark O Shea won a free around the 45 metre line and lofted a ball into the square for Shane McSweeney to fist to  the net. There was still time for Glenflesk to secure an equalising free and so, we faced into penalties. Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan, Richie O Connor, Mark O Shea and Matt Keane stepped forward and after nine penalties and three excellent saves from Keith O Leary in goal Jack Fogarty captain raised the O Sullivan Cup for his team mates.

In goal Keith O Leary affected some good saves throughout.

In defence  Jack Fogarty, Damien O Leary and Dara Stack were outstanding and were well supported by James Williams, Oisin O Leary and Mikey O Shea.

Shane McSweeney and Colm Kelleher were very effective in midfield while Cian Lynch, Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley in the half forward line worked tirelessly both in attack and helping out in defence when needed. The full forward line of Gavin Cronin , Paudie Moynihan and “Man of the Match” Mark O Shea contributed nine points between them and kept the Glenflesk backs busy.

The substitutions used were Philip O Leary, Matt Keane , Richie O Connor, Sean Doolan, Danny Cronin and Gavin Morrissey and had a huge bearing on the result.

Well done to mentors Dara Lehane, Tom O Shea, Jas Foley, Fergal Griffin, DJ Fleming and all players involved

O Donoghue Cup Final 2024

Rathmore 1- 12  Kilcummin 2-07

Despite a great effort and total commitment from players and management we came up short in Fitzgerald’ stadium last Sunday losing out by two points to a strong Rathmore outfit.

We started well with a Paul OShea free and a fine long range effort from Keelan O Shea. Rathmore responded with two points but Matt Keane put us back in front after 12 minutes from play. Paul O Shea added two further points from play and from a placed ball. At this stage our defence was playing really well and we were breaking fast up field to get our scores but Rathmore settled their ship with two further points to leave us ahead by just a point with five minutes left in the first half. A quick ball out of defence found Mark O Shea bearing down on goal but the Rathmore goalie saved brilliantly. From the resultant 45 metre Matt Keane claimed the ball and finished expertly to the net. When Paul O Shea pointed a further free we led at half time by five points 1-6 to 0-4.

Rathmore started quickly in the second half and had scored a goal and a point  by the sixth minute. However our players were dangerous on the break and following a great move Matt Keane stepped in again to find the net after ten minutes to leave us ahead by four points 2-06 to 1-05. Rathmore made some changes and their impact was evident as they kicked the next five points to lead by a point with five minutes remaining. Our boys were not giving up and when Paul O Shea pointed the sides were level with five minutes remaining and our supporters were hopeful.but credit to Rathmore who added two late points to run out deserving winners despite a phenomenal effort from a young Kilcummin team. Final score Rathmore 1-12 Kilcummin 2-07.

Special mention must go to Matt Keane who was named “Man of the Match” just reward for a tremendous effort on his behalf scoring  2-01 and defending when needed.

Well done to the team and mentors and we can only benefit from the experience going forward.

Team  Brendan Kealy, Dara Stack, Chris O Leary, James Williams, Sean O Leary, Dara O Callaghan, Keelan O Shea,(0-1) Paul O Shea, (0-5) Dan Moynihan, Philip O Leary, Cian Foley, Danny Cronin, Matt Keane (2-01), Kevin Gorman, Mark O Shea. Subs used   Donal Maher, Gary O Leary, Shane McSweeney, Noel Duggan.

This has been a good campaign with wins over Firies, Spa and Dr Crokes and great credit is due to the manager, James Foley, selectors D.J.Fleming and Fergal Griffin and entire backup team.

O Donoghue Cup Q/F
Kilcummin 0-17,  Firies 0-10
This was indeed a novel pairing as few could remember when these two sides last met in a championship game. Kilcummin may have been favourites but Firies with a lively young team, driven on by the likes of Jack Sherwood and Niall O Donoghue, took the game to the home team early on. However, our lads settled and in a good fifteen minute spell opened up a six point gap and led by four at the break. Kilcummin 0-10, Firies 0-6. A feature of this half was that Kilcummin scored nine of their ten points from play spread out over seven players.
We generally had the better of the second half but wasted a lot of scoring opportunities allowing Firies to remain in contention. However with Keith O Leary saving a goal chance, Chris O’ Leary and Donal Maher outstanding in defence, Paul O Shea dominant in midfield and Gary O’ Leary and Danny Cronin shining upfront we imposed ourselves in the last ten minutes and ran out comfortable winners by seven points. We now play Legion in the semi-final this Sunday @ 2pm.
Paul O Shea was presented by the Aquila Club “Man of the Match” after the game.

East Kerry Champions

Kilcummin 2-7, Kenmare 1-7

Congratulations to our minor team who were crowned East Kerry champions by virtue of their victory over Kenmare on Sunday last which was played in Dirreen. This was a tense affair early on between these two teams who have become very accustomed to each other over the last few years. With both defences on top, scores were hard to come by but at half time Kilcummin were leading by two points 1-4 to 1-2. Kenmares first score came from the penalty spot but Sean Doolan balanced the books when he slotted home a penalty of his own 20 minutes into the game. In the second half both teams traded points with Aaron Buckley, Sean Doolan and Sean Maher accounting for Kilcummin’s scores but the killer blow was delivered by Bobby Gallivan when he fisted a cross to the Kenmare net after great work by Luke Daly. After that the Kilcummin defence marshalled by the outstanding Dara Stack kept the opposition at bay and when the final whistle blew there were scenes of great joy and some relief that this young team had at last got the reward their efforts deserved. Well done to the entire panel and mentors David Kearney, Tommy Brosnan, Paul O Donoghue and Kieran O Donoghue.

Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Club Championship

Kilcummin 4-19 Currow 2-9. Following our victory over Laune Rangers in Rd 1 we travelled to Currow on Saturday knowing that a victory would most likely qualify us for the Quarter-Finals of the Intermediate Club Championship. We started brightly kicking over six points without reply but Currow settled and fought back with a goal and reduced the arrears to four points. A splendid goal from Sean O Leary got us back on track and we lead 1-12 to 1-3 at half time. We dominated the second half and goals by Philip O Leary twice and Mark O Shea saw us run out comfortable winners.

Excitement is building for the upcoming OsKars event incorporating Kilcummin and Glenflesk.

With fundraisers being arranged at present and attention turning to rehearsals in September a lot of work has gone on in the background by the committee in securing sponsorship. We welcome KWD’s sponsorship again as they did in the previous event in 2018. Everyone involved is working hard to make the December event a really successful occasion and generate much needed funds for both clubs.

 

 

Function

The 1973 Kilcummin Senior Football Team will come together for their Golden Jubilee gathering on Saturday the 26th August, to acknowledge that memorable year.

Many of the team reside outside the county, and two outside the country, but will make the trip from Dublin, Kildare, Limerick and Cork. Sean O Connor, our Goalkeeper, is making the trip home from Australia, where he moved after 73, and Monty O Sullivan is travelling from Boston.

We have sadly lost a few comrades over the years, but they will be represented by family members. The Gathering is being organised by Team members Sean Kelly and Billy Doolan.

Gneeveguilla V Kilcummin, 14th May 2023

Kilcummin began well in this game aided by the wind in the first half and led 1-3 to no score after 10 minutes, with Shane mc Sweeney finding the net. After 25 minutes gone Kilcummin led 1-7 to 3 points and were unlucky not to add another goal, the crossbar saving the home team. This seemed to ignite Gneeveguilla and within the next 5 minutes they had three goals scored and taken the lead.  The half time score was Gneeveguilla 3-4, to Kilcummin 1-8.

Kilcummin introduced Noel Duggan and James Williams. This saw Eoin O Donovan move to wing back which seemed to bring Kilcummin back into the game. They dominated the next 15 to 20 minutes scoring 1 – 5 without reply.  A cracking goal from Donal Maher and a Paul O Shea dispatched penalty on the 55th minute to leave the scores 3-10 to 3-13. Gneeveguilla kept attacking and forced Brendan Kealy to make a spectacular save with 3 minutes or so remaining. Kilcummin were not prepared to try and hold the 3 point lead with 4 minutes injury time to be played. A great move from defence all the way to the full forward line resulted in a Noel Duggan goal.  The final score was Gneeveguilla 3-10 to Kilcummin 4-13.

There were many very good performances on the Kilcummin side but Eoin O Donovan’s contribution in the second half from wing back was immense and saw him intercept ball after ball and launch many of the Kilcummin attacks which brought them back into the game and keep them in contention at the top of Division 1.

Scorers for Kilcummin:

Paul O Shea 1-4

Shane Mc Sweeney, Donal Maher and Noel Duggan – One goal each.

Cian Foley – 2 points

Philip Casey – 2 points

Co League Div 6

Kilcummin B 0-11,  Fossa B 1-10

Our team conceded a goal at the very last kick of the game for a heart-breaking end to what was an entertaining encounter. We started well and lead by three points after 10 minutes but conceded eight points in a row to leave the half-time score Fossa 0-8 Kilcummin 0-3. However the second half was all Kilcummin until those final moments of time added on. We scored eight points to one and lead by two in normal time but Fossa found that bit extra to emerge victorious. On the bright side were the display particularly in the second half of many of our younger players in particular Oran Dwyer, Oisin O Leary, Cian Lynch, Jack Fogarty and Colin O Leary.

Kilcummin 0-10, Dingle 0-10

This was a closely contested encounter throughout with defences on top for the most part and scores difficult to come by. Dingle started brightly and lead by three points early on but scores from Gary O Leary and Mark O Shea brought us on level terms while Donal Maher, and James Devane added further scores to see us trail 0-7 to 0-6 at half time. In the second half we lost Gary O Leary to injury but his replacement Padraigh Moynihan made his presence felt with two good points from play. Philip O Leary and Paul O Shea rounded off our scoring and we picked up our first point of the county league. We now travel to Castleisland on Saturday next for rd3 at 6.30 pm.

Dr Crokes 1-18  Kilcummin 0-15       (After extra time)

We succumbed to our opponents in extra time after a great effort in normal time. Leading by 0-8 to 0-6 at half time having more than matched our illustrious opponents but for most of the second half they had the upperhand and lead by three minutes with less than 6 minutes.  However we showed great courage and character to draw level with three good points driven on by man of the match Kieran Murphy. Dr crokes 1-11 Kilcummin 0-14. In extra time a number of crucial injuries did not help our cause but our lads never gave up and many of our younger players will benefit from this experience.

Club Notes 30th December, 2024

O Sullivan Cup Final  ( After extra time )   

Kilcummin 1–17, Glenflesk 2-14. Kilcummin win on penalties.

This final played in Kilcummin on Saturday kept the large crowd entertained throughout and it took penalties ( nine each ) to separate the teams after extra time.

The sides were level at half time 0-08 to 1-05 with points coming from Mark O Shea (0-4) Paudie Moynihan (0-2) and one each from Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley.

The second half saw both teams trading scores but when Glenflesk enjoyed a three point lead late in the game we rallied well and finished the match level on a scoreline 0-13 to 1-10. Our second half points came from the boot of Philip O Leary, Keith O Leary  ( 45′), Mark O Shea, Mikey O Shea and Paudie Moynihan.

Extra time saw us again trade scores with Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan Richie O Connor and Mark O Shea with his sixth point keeping us in touch but a minute  into injury time we trailed by two points. Mark O Shea won a free around the 45 metre line and lofted a ball into the square for Shane McSweeney to fist to  the net. There was still time for Glenflesk to secure an equalising free and so, we faced into penalties. Philip O Leary, Sean Doolan, Richie O Connor, Mark O Shea and Matt Keane stepped forward and after nine penalties and three excellent saves from Keith O Leary in goal Jack Fogarty captain raised the O Sullivan Cup for his team mates.

In goal Keith O Leary affected some good saves throughout.

In defence  Jack Fogarty, Damien O Leary and Dara Stack were outstanding and were well supported by James Williams, Oisin O Leary and Mikey O Shea.

Shane McSweeney and Colm Kelleher were very effective in midfield while Cian Lynch, Cian Foley and Aaron Buckley in the half forward line worked tirelessly both in attack and helping out in defence when needed. The full forward line of Gavin Cronin , Paudie Moynihan and “Man of the Match” Mark O Shea contributed nine points between them and kept the Glenflesk backs busy.

The substitutions used were Philip O Leary, Matt Keane , Richie O Connor, Sean Doolan, Danny Cronin and Gavin Morrissey and had a huge bearing on the result.

Well done to mentors Dara Lehane, Tom O Shea, Jas Foley, Fergal Griffin, DJ Fleming and all players involved

Team: Keith O Leary, Jack Fogarty, Damien O Leary, James Williams, Oisin O Leary, Dara Stack, Mikey O Shea, Shane McSweeney, Colm Kelleher, Cian Lynch. Cian Foley, Aaron Buckley.

O Donoghue Cup Final 2024

Rathmore 1- 12  Kilcummin 2-07

Despite a great effort and total commitment from players and management we came up short in Fitzgerald’ stadium last Sunday losing out by two points to a strong Rathmore outfit.

We started well with a Paul OShea free and a fine long range effort from Keelan O Shea. Rathmore responded with two points but Matt Keane put us back in front after 12 minutes from play. Paul O Shea added two further points from play and from a placed ball. At this stage our defence was playing really well and we were breaking fast up field to get our scores but Rathmore settled their ship with two further points to leave us ahead by just a point with five minutes left in the first half. A quick ball out of defence found Mark O Shea bearing down on goal but the Rathmore goalie saved brilliantly. From the resultant 45 metre Matt Keane claimed the ball and finished expertly to the net. When Paul O Shea pointed a further free we led at half time by five points 1-6 to 0-4.

Rathmore started quickly in the second half and had scored a goal and a point  by the sixth minute. However our players were dangerous on the break and following a great move Matt Keane stepped in again to find the net after ten minutes to leave us ahead by four points 2-06 to 1-05. Rathmore made some changes and their impact was evident as they kicked the next five points to lead by a point with five minutes remaining. Our boys were not giving up and when Paul O Shea pointed the sides were level with five minutes remaining and our supporters were hopeful.but credit to Rathmore who added two late points to run out deserving winners despite a phenomenal effort from a young Kilcummin team. Final score Rathmore 1-12 Kilcummin 2-07.

Special mention must go to Matt Keane who was named “Man of the Match” just reward for a tremendous effort on his behalf scoring  2-01 and defending when needed.

Well done to the team and mentors and we can only benefit from the experience going forward.

Team  Brendan Kealy, Dara Stack, Chris O Leary, James Williams, Sean O Leary, Dara O Callaghan, Keelan O Shea,(0-1) Paul O Shea, (0-5) Dan Moynihan, Philip O Leary, Cian Foley, Danny Cronin, Matt Keane (2-01), Kevin Gorman, Mark O Shea. Subs used   Donal Maher, Gary O Leary, Shane McSweeney, Noel Duggan.

This has been a good campaign with wins over Firies, Spa and Dr Crokes and great credit is due to the manager, James Foley, selectors D.J.Fleming and Fergal Griffin and entire backup team.

O Donoghue Cup Q/F
Kilcummin 0-17,  Firies 0-10
This was indeed a novel pairing as few could remember when these two sides last met in a championship game. Kilcummin may have been favourites but Firies with a lively young team, driven on by the likes of Jack Sherwood and Niall O Donoghue, took the game to the home team early on. However, our lads settled and in a good fifteen minute spell opened up a six point gap and led by four at the break. Kilcummin 0-10, Firies 0-6. A feature of this half was that Kilcummin scored nine of their ten points from play spread out over seven players.
We generally had the better of the second half but wasted a lot of scoring opportunities allowing Firies to remain in contention. However with Keith O Leary saving a goal chance, Chris O’ Leary and Donal Maher outstanding in defence, Paul O Shea dominant in midfield and Gary O’ Leary and Danny Cronin shining upfront we imposed ourselves in the last ten minutes and ran out comfortable winners by seven points. We now play Legion in the semi-final this Sunday @ 2pm.
Paul O Shea was presented by the Aquila Club “Man of the Match” after the game.

East Kerry Champions

Kilcummin 2-7, Kenmare 1-7

Congratulations to our minor team who were crowned East Kerry champions by virtue of their victory over Kenmare on Sunday last which was played in Dirreen. This was a tense affair early on between these two teams who have become very accustomed to each other over the last few years. With both defences on top, scores were hard to come by but at half time Kilcummin were leading by two points 1-4 to 1-2. Kenmares first score came from the penalty spot but Sean Doolan balanced the books when he slotted home a penalty of his own 20 minutes into the game. In the second half both teams traded points with Aaron Buckley, Sean Doolan and Sean Maher accounting for Kilcummin’s scores but the killer blow was delivered by Bobby Gallivan when he fisted a cross to the Kenmare net after great work by Luke Daly. After that the Kilcummin defence marshalled by the outstanding Dara Stack kept the opposition at bay and when the final whistle blew there were scenes of great joy and some relief that this young team had at last got the reward their efforts deserved. Well done to the entire panel and mentors David Kearney, Tommy Brosnan, Paul O Donoghue and Kieran O Donoghue.

Kilcummin 4-19 Currow 2-9. Following our victory over Laune Rangers in Rd 1 we travelled to Currow on Saturday knowing that a victory would most likely qualify us for the Quarter-Finals of the Intermediate Club Championship. We started brightly kicking over six points without reply but Currow settled and fought back with a goal and reduced the arrears to four points. A splendid goal from Sean O Leary got us back on track and we lead 1-12 to 1-3 at half time. We dominated the second half and goals by Philip O Leary twice and Mark O Shea saw us run out comfortable winners.

Oskars 

Excitement is building for the upcoming OsKars event incorporating Kilcummin and Glenflesk.

With fundraisers being arranged at present and attention turning to rehearsals in September a lot of work has gone on in the background by the committee in securing sponsorship. We welcome KWD’s sponsorship again as they did in the previous event in 2018. Everyone involved is working hard to make the December event a really successful occasion and generate much needed funds for both clubs.

 

 

Function

The 1973 Kilcummin Senior Football Team will come together for their Golden Jubilee gathering on Saturday the 26th August, to acknowledge that memorable year.

Many of the team reside outside the county, and two outside the country, but will make the trip from Dublin, Kildare, Limerick and Cork. Sean O Connor, our Goalkeeper, is making the trip home from Australia, where he moved after 73, and Monty O Sullivan is travelling from Boston.

We have sadly lost a few comrades over the years, but they will be represented by family members. The Gathering is being organised by Team members Sean Kelly and Billy Doolan.

Gneeveguilla V Kilcummin, 14th May 2023

Kilcummin began well in this game aided by the wind in the first half and led 1-3 to no score after 10 minutes, with Shane mc Sweeney finding the net. After 25 minutes gone Kilcummin led 1-7 to 3 points and were unlucky not to add another goal, the crossbar saving the home team. This seemed to ignite Gneeveguilla and within the next 5 minutes they had three goals scored and taken the lead.  The half time score was Gneeveguilla 3-4, to Kilcummin 1-8.

Kilcummin introduced Noel Duggan and James Williams. This saw Eoin O Donovan move to wing back which seemed to bring Kilcummin back into the game. They dominated the next 15 to 20 minutes scoring 1 – 5 without reply.  A cracking goal from Donal Maher and a Paul O Shea dispatched penalty on the 55th minute to leave the scores 3-10 to 3-13. Gneeveguilla kept attacking and forced Brendan Kealy to make a spectacular save with 3 minutes or so remaining. Kilcummin were not prepared to try and hold the 3 point lead with 4 minutes injury time to be played. A great move from defence all the way to the full forward line resulted in a Noel Duggan goal.  The final score was Gneeveguilla 3-10 to Kilcummin 4-13.

There were many very good performances on the Kilcummin side but Eoin O Donovan’s contribution in the second half from wing back was immense and saw him intercept ball after ball and launch many of the Kilcummin attacks which brought them back into the game and keep them in contention at the top of Division 1.

Scorers for Kilcummin:

Paul O Shea 1-4

Shane Mc Sweeney, Donal Maher and Noel Duggan – One goal each.

Cian Foley – 2 points

Philip Casey – 2 points

Points each for , Chris O Leary, James Nagle, Mark O Shea, Sean O Leary and Eoin O Donovan

Kerins O Rahillys 1-12, Kilcummin 2-11

Our senior team manufactured an amazing comeback to defeat Kerins O Rahillys in Tralee last Saturday and claim two points that sees us top the Division facing into a two week break.

Trailing by nine points with 15 minutes remaining a Shane McSweeney goal ignited the team after what had been a lack lustre performance up till then. Five points and a further goal from Philip O Leary without reply saw us run out winners by two points and sent our supporters home with a smile on their faces and delighted with the character shown by the players. Next up is an away fixture against Gneeveguilla in two weeks.

Kilcummin B  2-24, Churchill B 1-10

A great free flowing performance saw our young team overcome Churchill and run out easy winners. Goals from Cian Lynch and Sean Moynihan supplemented some fine point- taking from our forwards. Our defence was solid throughout with midfield in control also, underlining the improvement of the players and highlighting the work being done by the mentors. It also underlines the value of having entered a team in the league.

Tarbert 2-6, Kilcummin 1-7

Played in Brosna on Monday evening both teams played their part in an entertaining game in difficult conditions. Kilcummin were on top throughout the the first half and lead 1-4 to 1-1 at half time. Sean Doolan scored the goal after a brilliant pass by Luke Daly while Gavin Morrissey, Keelan O Shea , Cian Forde and Sean Doolan were our point takers. That goal just on the stroke of half time and another one shortly after the break gave Tarbert the confidence and impetus and try as did we were unable to recover the control we had in the first half. Points by Keelan O Shea Aaron Buckley and a beauty from Gavin Morrissey gave us a chance but in the end we came up short. This team have given great entertainment and pleasure over the league and have some very promising players. Well done to mentors Tommy Brosnan, Paul O Donoghue, Kieran O Donoghue and Dave Kearney for the work being done.

East Kerry League Final

Dr Crokes 1-18  Kilcummin 0-15       (After extra time)

We succumbed to our opponents in extra time after a great effort in normal time. Leading by 0-8 to 0-6 at half time having more than matched our illustrious opponents but for most of the second half they had the upperhand and lead by three minutes with less than 6 minutes.  However we showed great courage and character to draw level with three good points driven on by man of the match Kieran Murphy. Dr crokes 1-11 Kilcummin 0-14. In extra time a number of crucial injuries did not help our cause but our lads never gave up and many of our younger players will benefit from this experience.

Kilcummin 1-8, Ardfert 1-7

This was a hard- fought but deserved victory over Ardfert in Kilcummin on Saturday last. Despite an early setback of conceeding a goal they battled back well and with Sean Doolan unerring from frees they trailed by a single point at half time. In a second half that saw scores hard to come by a goal by Sean Doolan following great work by Aaron Buckley was crucial while late points by Keelan O Shea and Sean O Leary sealed the victory. Next game is away to Spa next Saturday.
