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.

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.

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

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.
