East Kerry Div 1 final Kenmare 3-11 Dr Crokes 1-09
Played in excellent conditions in Fitzgerald stadium this keenly contested final was in the balance into injury time when a well executed Crokes penalty had the margin down to four but credit to Kenmare a late goal and point deep into injury time earned them a deserved win in a fine sporting contest .
The game had everything some fine scores by both teams a penalty save from Kerry minor panellist Kacper Robak but in the end the physically stronger Kenmare team just about edged a youthful Crokes team in a really good game of football where 5 Crokes U13s played.This was the third final for this fine group of players and while defeated in all three finals the development and progress the team has made all year has been huge .The U14 lads in the group won the super 10 county final a few weeks ago .Thanks to all the parents for their support and dedication all year.Thanks to Der Brosnan and team who had the stadium in splendid order for the game .
Thanks to Sean O Keeffe East Kerry board for co ordinating everything and the referee and his team of official for officiating what was a fine sporting game.Thanks to Matt O Neill for organising the Four Star pizza it was much appreciated .Finally a huge well done to the players for their hard work and dedication they were a joy to manage all year and we wish them well with their various age groups next year.
