St. Kieran's GAA Club:
AGM:
St. Kieran's AGM will take place on Thursday December 11 in the Hall in Carrigkerry at 8pm.
County Premier U21 Football Championship Play-Off: St. Kieran's 2.11 Grange 0.6
The u21 footballers advanced to the quarter finals of the county championship with a hard earned victory over Grange on Sunday evening last under the lights in Martinstown. The group phase of the championship never took off for us, despite putting together some good passages of football at times we were exposed on other occasions by better opposition. In saying that, our performances were not up to the expected standard that this group of players are capable of. To their credit they rebounded well on Sunday evening despite missing a number of first team regulars for a multitude of reasons. Credit too must go to those who played through injury on the night in order to help the team advance. It was clear early on that the players were up for the challenge with Darragh Treacy in particular putting in another strong performance with his two goals proving to be the difference between the two sides. With qualification now secured we advance to play Fr. Casey's this Friday evening in the quarter final in Rhebogue (St. Patrick's) at 8pm. These two teams have history together having previously met in the County Premier Minor Football Final in 2011. Hopefully on Friday evening the lads can put in another strong performance and take another step into the championship.
