COUNTY FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL

Feale Rangers and South Kerry are busy preparing for the final of the AIB County Senior Football Championship at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on Sunday November 11th.

The curtain raiser to the Senior County Final is the replay of the County Under 16 Interdivisional Football Championship Final. The drawn game was a great game of football between two very well prepared teams and the replay should provide another thrilling game.

MUNSTER CLUB FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Kilcummin, Kerry’s representatives in the AIB Munster Senior Club Football Championship, will be away to Lissycasey, the Clare County Champions at Cusack Park, Ennis, on Sunday November 11th at 2.00 p.m.

JUNIOR SHIELD FINAL

Glenbeigh/Glencar defeated Beale in the Junior Shield Final last Sunday at Austin Stack Park. The game provided the supporters of both clubs with a very entertaining and well-contested final.

NOVICE CHAMPIONSHIP

The semi-final replay of the Castleisland Co-Op Mart Novice Football Championship between Ballydonoghue and Tuosist will be played on this Sunday at 2.00 p.m. at Listry. Extra time will be played if necessary. Cromane defeated Listry in their long awaited quarterfinal played at Cromane last Sunday. The date of the semi-final between Cromane and Churchill was not available at time of writing.

COUNTY LEAGUE

Dr. Crokes continued their good run of wins last Sunday when they easily defeated Dingle in yet another crucial back game in Division 1 of the Credit Union County Senior Football League. They now have eleven points on the table with just their Round 11 game to play and would appear to have avoided relegation. The back game between Austin Stacks and Listowel Emmets will shed further light on the positions at the bottom of the table going into the last round of games. Austin Stacks have five points and Emmets have seven points with that back game left to play. Dingle have seven points from ten games.

In Division 2 Sneem were beaten at home by Annascaul last Sunday. Sneem are still in relegation danger but on the other hand the win for Annascaul has put them back in contention for the second promotion place. Castleisland Desmonds, Currow, Beale and Waterville are also in contention. St. Michael’s/Foilmore are already promoted from this division.

In Division 3 Renard won their back game against Glenflesk last Sunday. The result of this game had implications at the top and bottom of the table. Glenflesk are on the verge of promotion and Renard are fighting relegation. Renard have another back game to play against table toppers, Tarbert, before the last round of games is played. Tarbert, Glenflesk and Kenmare are battling for the two promotion places and with Beaufort already relegated it would appear that Tuosist, Na Gaeil, Renard and to a lesser extent Ballymacelligott and Castlegregory will battle it out to avoid the second relegation position. On Saturday last at Beaufort defeated Lispole in their Round 11 game.

In their Division 4 back game Keel had a convincing win against Ballydonoghue to put them back on top of the table and level on points with Duagh. St. Pat’s are two points adrift of the leaders. All three teams on the top of the table, Duagh, Keel and St. Pat’s have one back game left to play before the last round. It is also a tense time for the teams at the bottom end of this table. Cromane have two back games to play and Ballydonoghue have one back game each. The results of these back games will need to b e known before the last round can be played.

In Division 5 the crucial back game in the promotion race between Moyvane and Fossa was won by Moyvane. Fossa have all their games played and are on 18 points at the top of the table. Knocknaghoshel and Moyvane have 16 points each with one game left to play and Churchill and Ballylongford are on 14 points also with one game left to play. On this Sunday at 2.00 p.m. Moyvane are at home to Churchill and Ballylongford host Knocknagoshel. The results of these games could decide the two promotion places. It is so tight at the top of the table in this division that playoffs could not be ruled out to eventually resolve the situation.

INTERPROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL

There was no joy for the Munster Football team in last Saturday’s final of the M. Donnelly Interprovincial Football Championship played under lights at Croke Park. Unfortunately for the Munster that a number of good goal scoring chances were not converted and Ulster made good clinical use of their scoring chances. In the hurling final Munster defeated Connacht. The lights at Croke Park are really magnificent and are another great asset to the stadium.
