Desmonds Seniors Maintain Clean League Record
Desmonds men’s senior football team maintained its 100% record in the county league after defeating Listowel by 0-14 to 1-8.
By: Pat Hartnett
Desmonds lead by 0-11 to 0-2 at the break with 0-6 from Thomas Hickey and points from Graham O’Connor, Luka Brosnan. Kieran Brennan, Danny Hickey and Tomas Lynch.
They were under sustained pressure in the second half but further points from Brosnan, Brennan and Sean Lynch secured the points.
Wins for Austin Stacks, Kilcummin, Kenmare and Na Gaeil who drew with Ballymac leaves the promotion race very open.
We play Na Gaeil in the next round in Castleisland next Sunday at 2pm.
Best wishes to Maurice Hickey
Best wishes to Maurice Hickey as he heads to Toronto.
Maurice has been an exceptional player for the club and the senior team.
A player who lead by example. His smile and positive attitude is an inspiration to all who know him.
Maurice played at all levels for the club and also for St. Kieran’s. He never missed training and no matter where he was working around the country he never missed a home game for club or district. So best of luck Maurice lets hope it won’t be too long until you wear the blue and white again.

The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
