Senior Football League Final 2013! - Better Late than Never!

Just as our Senior Footballers had hung up the boots and settled into hibernation for the winter it was announced that the 2013 League Final will be played this Thursday evening, October 16th, in Mick Neville Park at 7.30pm. Fr. Casey's will provide the opposition. Please come out and support the boys in what promises to be a great game under lights.

U21 Football Premier Championship
2013 was a great year for our club with one of the highlights being the winning of the Premier U21 football championship. As reigning county champions, we will begin the defense of our title on 24th October 2014 against Ahane. The combination team from Sean Finns and Cappagh/Kilcornan have a huge task in hand to retain the title. Games will be on Friday night under lights for five successive weeks. The full list of group-2 games is as follows:
Friday 24th Oct, Rathkeale/Cappagh v Ahane
Friday 31st Oct, Rathkeale/Cappagh v Newcastlewest
Friday 7th Nov, Rathkeale/Cappagh v St kierans
Friday 14th Nov, Rathkeale/Cappagh v Bruff
Friday 21st Nov, Rathkeale/Cappagh v Shamrocks.
Group-1 consists of Oola, Athea/Mountcollins, Ballybrown, Black & Whites, Fr Caseys & St Johns.
The top team from both groups earns an automatic semi-final spot while 2nd  from one group plays 3rd from the other group in both quarter finals. All to play for and if the competition turns out anywhere near as good as the 2013 version it will be worth watching.

Munster Junior Camogie Final
A fine crowd was in attendance last Saturday at The Bog Garden for the Munster Junior Club Camogie Final. On a beautiful sunny day, the pitch was in excellent condition. Congrats to the winners, Clanmaurice (Kerry) who defeated Murroe-Boher (Limerick). The final score was 3-07 to 0-05. Thanks also to Damien O'Grady of Rathkeale House Hotel who sponsored the "Lady of the Game" prize.

U-16 County Football Final - Sean Finns win after Extra Time.
Heartiest congratulations to all involved in the Sean Finns camp with their impressive win in the U16 County Final last Saturday.

Scrap Metal
There's an old saying that says "It's an ill wind that blows no good". Maybe the storms of the spring have increased the possibility of scrap metal in the area. We would like take this opportunity to remind our friends and supporters that the club has an on-going scrap metal collection operation in place. Contact James O'Connor or any committee member if you have anything to donate. Collection can be arranged if necessary.
