Seniors Lose Clean League Record

Desmonds senior men lost their 100% record in the county league after losing to Na Gaeil on Sunday by 0-19 to 3-16.

By Pat Hartnett

Goals win games and the Tralee side struck the first decisive blow and lead by 1-11 to 0-8.  Kieran Brennan scored three points with two from Danny Hickey and one each from Thomas Hickey, Cian O’Connor and Pat Fitzgerald.

Desmonds responded after the break with some excellent scores from Pat Fitzgerald ,0-3; Thomas Hickey, 0-4 and Kieran Brennan and Danny Hickey with 0-2.

However, two further goals gave Na Gaeil a deserved victory.

Desmond’s now share the top of the table with Austin Stacks and Na Gaeil on 12 points with Kilcummin on 11 and it’s all to play for.

Our next game is against Ballymac on Sunday, July 1st at 2pm in Castleisland.

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.
