With our Intermediate Club semi final only a little over a week away we take a look back at our last win in that Championship in 2005. Austin Stack Park was the venue and Finuge, powered by Paul Galvin,Eamonn Breen and Eamon Fitzmaurice were the opposition. The North Kerry side were All Ireland Junior Club Champions and were looking to make the breakthrough to Senior at the first time of asking. Kerry minor David Murphy was the big difference between the sides, he accounted for six points but it was the determination of Derek Pyne, Eoin OCarroll, Michael O Sullivan and Sean Hegarty that also drove the team home. The display of goalkeeper Peter O Leary, reported the Irish Examiner, “denied Finuge victory with a number of marvellous saves, including a game saving one at the death to deny Cillian Fitzmaurice”. ( He’s still talking about it today). The final score was Killarney Legion 0-8 Finuge 0-6. The victorious panel included Kevin Breen, Enda Murphy, David Murphy,Derek Pyne, Kieran O Neill, Peter O Leary, Ciaran O Grady, David O Neill, John McGillycuddy, John Bowler(Capt), Mike O Mahony, Liam Austin, Brian Doolan, Richie O Brien, Sean Hegarty, Michael O’Donoghue, John Cronin, Michael O Sullivan, Seanie Culloty, Justin Healy, Adam Moynihan, Anthony O Leary, Gene McCarthy, Eoin Carroll..Management team William DF O Sullivan(Manager) Kevin Carroll(Selector) Thomas Lyne(Selector).
