Minor Football Kilcummin 3-11 Spa 0-18
Our Minors captured the East Kerry C Championship on Saturday last with a win over Spa in Spa.
Two goals from Conor McCarthy helped us to a six points lead at half-time before he retired injured before the break. We opened up an eight point lead after James Nagle scored our third halfway through the second-half but then had to endure a tremendous fight back from Spa. Indeed only for a resolute defence well marshalled by Sean O’Leary and a number of fine saves from Keith O’Leary we could have been overtaken.
As it was Spa came to within one point of us in injury time but Paul O Shea who was very influential scored a magnificent long range point to seal the victory. This was a great team effort from players and substitutes under the direction of Seanie, Alan and Mike and when Captain Sean O’Leary lifted the trophy it was a fitting reward for their efforts throughout the year.
