Last night the U12 Kerry cup 1/4 was played on a sun drenched Tanavalla between Listowel and Park.

The game started at 100 miles an hour. Both teams looking to get forward at every opportunity. And Listowel had the first real chance to score as they were awarded a penalty in the 12th min when we were caught on the counter attack and Graham Sheehy was adjudged to have brought the Listowel player down inside the box and the ref pointed to the spot.

But the Listowel player clipped the out side of the post with his effort with Sean Broderick doing his best Bruce Grobbalar  impression to put the player off. It seemed to do the trick.  Then in the 14th from a free deep in in our half, Armin Heinrich’s free was flicked on by Darragh Caplis for John o Connor to race on to, leaving the defenders in his dust only to drag his shot agonisingly wide of the far post.

 

The game was frantic at this stage with Sean McGrath bossing the mid of the park. While Alan Brosnan and Jack Twamley still looked very comfortable at the centre of our defence. Then in the 20th min against the run of play The home side were awarded another this time fairly controversial penalty but the resulting spot kick was blazed over the bar. The game was a min for half time we got a corner a lovely ball into the box by Armin had the defence in disarray a goal mouth scramble followed john and Darragh both had shots cleared off the line. And Alan’s shot come cross somehow found Johns  toe who stabbed it into Cian Brosnan’s path who stroked the ball home. 1-0 at the half.

 

The second half a was played at the same pace as the first but the keepers were rarely tested. So the game finished 1-0 and in to the semi final draw we go.
Man of the match was a unanimous decision from all the players and coaches. Sean McGrath outstanding midfield performance. Well done boys.
