Captain Ryan Twomey accepted the cup on behalf of the team. Thanks to Rathmore for a great game and to Evan Horan for excellent officiating.
The action then moved to Sunday where our

The teams traded scored through most of the first half with Firies pulling ahead towards the break to lead by three points , 0-7 to 0-4. The boys narrowed the gap to a point early in the second half before Firies struck for the All important goal to lead by four . Both teams had scores and missed chances but in the end Firies were deserved winners by 2 points.
Well done to our great friends and rivals Firies on a great win and Evan Horan was again the man officiating in the middle.
So the curtain draws down on the year for this group . Overall they have had a fantastic year winning four competitions and ending the year as Div 1 County League Champions, Div 9 County League Champions, Div 1 East Kerry League Champions and Div 3 East Kerry Championship winners. It caps off an outstanding year of success and development for this group. We look forward to their continued development in years to come.

With East Kerry making an untimely exit from the County Championship the door is now open to commence the O Donoghue Cup. A reminder that we are due to face Fossa in the first round, with the game reverting to the Gortroe venue. The time and date will be confirmed in the coming days.

SATURDAY MORNING ACADEMY
The final field session for the Saturday Morning Academy of 2024 went out with a bang ! We welcomed 60+ kids from Fossa for some Go Games and did our annual ceremony for the kids graduating from the Academy. We also did a cake sale fundraiser, with the support of Permanent TSB Kerry, in aid of the Dillon Quirke Foundation. A big thank you to all who supported the morning .. parents, coaches, baristas, PTSB staff who gave up their Saturday morning to all the bakers, and to all those who donated and helped run a wonderful morning.



O SULLIVAN CUP
Our Senior B team made a disappointing exit from the East Kerry O Sullivan Cup on Saturday afternoon in Direen. The first half was an even affair and it was anyones game at half time. But Glenflesk started the second period much the stronger and eventually ran out convincing winners.


ST BRENDANS COLLEGE
Well done to James O'Callaghan, Marco Mosca, Jayden Hurley, Cian Hegarty, Jamie Fleming, Conor Moynihan, Sean Lyne and Ethan Clarke who won the Russell Cup U15 on Friday afternoon with the Sem defeating Tralee CBS in a brilliant final played in Fitzgerald Stadium by 4-11 to 4-10.

U13 GIRLS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
The U13 girls were crowned Division 4 Club champions after a hard fought battle against Annascaul/Castlegregory in Caherslee on Saturday afternoon. The teams were well matched and this was reflected in the half-time scoreline of 2-2 to 1-7. A strong start to the second half saw the girls take a six points lead only to have Annascaul / Castlegregory level the game with less than five minutes to play. But the girls again dug deep and played with intent and heart which was converted swiftly into points. They held out for a deserved victory given their work rate and effort throughout the entire club championship . The final score was 2-11 to 3-6 . A big thank you to Annascaul/Castlegregory for a superb game and to the parents for their support all season.
