County U16 Hurling League: Kilmoyley 1-11 Abbeydorney 0-12 Venue Lerrig 4th November
This was a costly game for the under 16 Team in the semi final of the county league with Abbeydorney constantly giving away frees which Edmund Griffin pointed 8 points from frees. Both teams were evenly balanced with the minimum of scores between the teams. Abbeydorney started playing well from the start with 2 good points from Brian Leen and a free by PJ Keane and points from Jason Fealy, Brian Leen, and Darragh O'Connell. Both teams lost a player before half time due to a flare up, H/T 0-6 a piece.
The Second half continued the same way as the first half with O'Dorney committing fouls one after another, Darragh O Connell scoring 4 points and Padraig Kelly and P J Keane scoring a point each, The turning point of this match was a goal by Kilmoyley's Conor Fitzell with 12 minutes remaining but O'Dorneys constant fouling proved to be too much in the end.
Team: Liam Cleary, Jer Meehan, Chris McCarthy, Rob Murphy, James O'Connor, PJ Keane, Steven O'Connor, Danny McDonagh, Padraig Dignan, Padraig Kelly, Daniel O'Leary, Brian Leen, Paul O'Connor, Jason Fealy,
Referee: Alex Morrissey Tralee
