2015 Kerry senior football finalists exit championship today at Round 3 stage

Paul Geaney starred in Dingle’s victory last night as Austin Stacks also triumphed.

Updated 7.20pm

LAST YEAR’S KERRY senior football finalists Killarney Legion have exited this year’s championship after a 3-12 to 2-12 defeat in Round 3 this afternoon against Kerins O’Rahillys.

In a game played at Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney, Kerins O’Rahillys made all the running from the start and were in front 1-9 to 0-3 at the interval with Barry John Keane striking their goal.

John Ferguson raised their second green flag in the 44th minute to push them 2-12 to 0-5 in front and when Ferguson hit the net again in the 51st minute, they looked out of sight with a 3-12 to 0-8 advantage.

Legion mounted a last-ditch attempt to salvage themselves as they hit 2-4 without reply. The goals came from Mike O’Sullivan and Kevin Breen but Kerins O’Rahillys survived. James O’Donoghue hit 0-4 as Killarney Legion departed.

The curtain-raiser today saw Rathmore defeat St Kieran’s by 1-18 to 0-20 after extra-time. The crucial goal arrived in extra-time for Rathmore courtesy of attacker Mark Reen.

They were in front 1-17 to 0-15 at the midway mark of extra-time and held off a St Kieran’s scoring spree to triumph.

Aidan O’Mahony looked to have notched the winning point in normal time for Rathmore but goalkeeper Sean Óg Ó Ciardubháin struck the levelling score for St Kieran’s to leave it 0-13 apiece at the end of normal time.

Last Sunday’s Munster senior football final man-of-the-match Paul Geaney was key in helping Dingle book a Kerry senior football quarter-final place last night.

Geaney hit the net twice – one goal in either half – and finished with a 2-3 tally that matched his exploits in Fitzgerald Stadium for Kerry last Sunday, as Dingle ran out 2-13 to 1-11 victors over Milltown-Castlemaine in their Round 3 tie at Austin Stack Park.

Dingle trailed 1-7 to 1-5 at the break but turned it around to win by five points with another Kerry senior Mikey Geaney contributing 0-5 for the West Kerry side.

At the second game at the Tralee venue, 2014 Kerry senior champions Austin Stacks advanced to the last eight stage with a 0-21 to 1-13 success over divisional team West Kerry.

Kieran Donaghy bagged 0-2 for an Austin Stacks team whose top scorers were David Mannix (0-5) and Daire O’Brien (0-3).

Sean Micheál Ó Conchúir – part of Kerry’s recent Munster junior title winning team – fired 1-7 for West Kerry.

The quarter-final line up has now been completed:

Quarter-finalists: Dr Crokes, Kenmare District, Mid Kerry, South Kerry, Dingle, Austin Stacks, Rathmore, Kerins O’Rahilly’s.

    How Ander Herrera isn’t getting more game time is a joke. Every time he comes on he looks likely of creating something. If I was him I’d be looking for a transfer it must be painful sitting on the bench watching Fellaini play.

    Surprised van gaal isn’t under more pressure at this stage considering the money he’s spent and the performances so far. We’re it not for Liverpool and arsenal being so poor they could be 5th or 6th. People talk about Rodgers buying badly (some of his signings are starting to show some form) but van gaal is in the same boat and spent much more. Di Maria is probably best signing but he’s quite inconsistent too.

    Bitter much Brian, the man has been in the job six months. Utd are a work in progress, impossible to judge a manager on 6 months.

    Players were absolutely dreadful tonight, how Jones is a utd/international player is unbelievable, No heart, no leadership and no fight. Gutless performance.

    Completely agree, how Jones is even a pro footballer is incredible. He is shocking poor! Valencia hasn’t made a positive impact since 2010, carrick is doin his best but his best days for utd were in the same side as Ferdinand vidic Scholes giggs Ronaldo etc, fellaini simply isn’t good enough, januzaj is such an anti climax but still very young, the new guys are takin time to settle in but none of them are showing much either. Moyes certainly wasn’t the man (sayin things like “we aspire to be like Man City”) but he wasn’t helped by the players. Van gaal may r may not be ( he’s arrogant enough, and I think u need that at utd) but he’s not being helped by the players either! Fergusons determination and van Persie won the title in 13, but Ferguson left an awful lot of shite behind him! They haven’t looked a dominant team since Ronaldo left, despite 2 league titles since, been in decline for quite some time. The players fergie left aren’t good enough (Rooney excl) to bring the team forward, so that means to improve they need to build an entirely new team, that no easy job for any manager so il give Louis a chance. Nothing is gonna change so long as Jones and Valencia are on the field, and if they’re not on the field it may be smalling or Evans or rafael!!ya need to be able to play from the back, with that lot…. Ah here, I’m tiring meself out now!

    He is a poor defender. If he was a no nonsense hard as nails Steve Bruce type old fashioned centre half, that would compensate for his lack of composure on the ball, but he ain’t. Liability a lid of the time

    Ah poor Falcao. He is shocking. Getting paid (on loan) astronomical wages. It’s hilarious really. Watching United tonight against a team 76 places below them and the amount of times the ball went square or backwards was incredible. Really shocking. And let’s not forget how strong a starting X1 this was. On paper……

    First and foremost united are a load of pony and trap. United where only famous because they were feared, not because of their players but because of their manager. Man U are as useful as a chocolate fire guard and as equally as usual as a ashtray on a motorbike. The one who laughs the last laughs the longest. Oh yea if ya haven’t noticed united and city are wasters.
