U13 East Kerry Division 2:

Our U13’s made the short trip to Dr. Crokes this evening for the final round of the East Kerry league and they served up a cracker. The night started on a somber note and both sets of players and management teams impeccably observed a minute’s silence for the late Patsy Cremin which started and finished on referee Eddie Walsh’s whistle.

Spa started the game strong hitting 1-1 in the opening 5 mins, to their credit Crokes responded with 4 unanswered points of their own. It was blow for blow for the remainder of the game finishing the first half 1-7 to 1-5 to spa… the third quarter belonged to spa and kicked on to open a 7 point lead with 11 remaining on the clock…. Crokes with a never say die attitude did not lie down and rattled off 1-4 in this period and the sides were all square going into injury time, however it was the young blues that took the spoils by the slenderest of margins with a superb score at the death. Credit to both sets of players for a cracking game.

This spells the end of the year for the U13’s, a year that was filled with excellent football and excitement for the years to come. The coaches, Sean, Eoin, Tom, John, Conor and Denis throughly enjoyed the year and future looks bright for this group. Thanks to Crokes for a very sporting game and to all the parents and family for supporting the group throughout the year.
