A lot of players failed to show up for this match which left the team with 1 sub for this long journey to Kenmare. The team played well up to ten minutes into second half up 8 points to 2 points when Kenmare worked a good side line cut up the field resulting in a goal for Kenmare. Abbeydorney conceded too many frees in the final minutes to let Kenmare back into the game.

Abbeydorney and Causeway will have to meet again to decide North Kerry Junior Title after a close finish with both teams missing opportunities to claim this title. A Chris O'Brien goal midway through the first half gave the Black and Amber the buzz they badly needed just as Causeway were getting on top. Two long-range points by David Nolan and 7 pointed frees by Brian O'Leary kept O'Dorney in this match. The Junior Team will have to improve big time more especially in the forward line if thy are to have a title for the year.

North Kerry U16 A Championship Final :Thomas Son Sullivan Shield :Abbeydorney 0-20 Kilmoyley 2-10
Venue Lerrig 10th May.
Abbeydorney U16 Hurlers Captured the North Kerry U16 A Championship Final on Tuesday Evening at Lerrig with an exhibition of long range points from frees and play by both teams. This Competition was more worthy because it was named after local player Thomas Son OSullivan from Drumcunnig Abbeydorney.
This was Exhibition hurling from the start with little between the teams. PJ Keane scored 5 points from frees and Darragh O'Connell 3 points (1f) and Padraig Kelly and Brian Leen 1 point each and the team really had put in a great effort to get back on level terms after conceding two goals midway through first quarter.
Half-timeT score: O'Dorney 0-10, Kilmoyley 2-4.
The Black and Amber boys were in no mood to leave this title behind them and started very well in the second half with 5 points (3f) from Darragh O'Connell and Brian Leen 4 points and Padraig Kelly 1 point with Kilmoyley scoring
6 points in the second half. Spectators were left to wait till the final whistle for a result for a very good game of hurling by both clubs and was well refereed by Pat Sheehy, Causeway.
Compliments must also go to Kilmoyley Club for the pitch in excellent condition and facilities.
Team: Liam Cleary, Jer Meehan, Paul O'Connor, Chris McCarthy, James O'Connor, PJ Keane (Captain 0-5), Stephen O'Connor, Robert Murphy, Danny McDonagh, Daniel O'Leary, Darragh O'Connell (0-8), Daniel Mahoney, Jason Fealy, Padraig Kelly (0-2), Brian Leen ( 0-5)
