Templenoe 0-22, St Marys 2-14 - AET

Templenoe are South Kerry League Champions for 2025 after defeating St Marys Cahersiveen in the final after extra-time at Ballinskelligs last Saturday. This is Templenoe’s third South Kerry League title having previously won the competition in 2019 and 2023. Templenoe first participated in the South Kerry League in 1998.

Prior to throw in, there was a minutes silence held to honour the late Jimmy Harrington, a former Templenoe player and Club Secretary who passed away on Saturday morning

The game was played in ideal conditions with a good crowd in attendance. Templenoe started quiet well and lead by 0-04 to 0-01 at the end of a cagey first quarter, with Gavin Crowley (2), Adrian Spillane and Colin Crowley all raising white flags, while veteran Bryan Sheehan who was double jobbing as goal keep and free taker for St Marys opened their scoring with a placed ball effort.

The second quarter saw Templenoe increase their advantage to five points by the 25^th minute thanks to scores from Aidan Crowley, Sean Sheehan and Mark Casey. St Mary’s only reply in this period came from Tadhg O’Sullivan who split the posts to double their tally. Then shortly before the half time whistle, St Marys were awarded a penalty after the referee who consulted with his umpires adjudged there was a push on the St Mary’s attacker inside the box as he was bearing down on goal. Bryan Sheehan came up to take the spot kick and he duly found the found the net. Conor O’Shea immediately followed this up with a point to leave the minimum between the sides at the interval.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-07, St Marys 1-03.

Buoyed by their strong finish to the first half, St Marys had the perfect restart with four unanswered points from four different players Bryan Sheehan, Anthony Cournane, Jack Daly and Ben O’Donoghue to put them three points to the good and complete an eight points turnaround. Credit to Templenoe, they didn’t panic and replied in kind with four points on the trot of their own courtesy of Aidan Crowley, Martin Reilly (2), and Colin Crowley to make the score 0-11 to 1-07 at the end of the third quarter.

However, just as Templenoe thought they had re-taken control of this game they were then hit with another sucker punch, when St Mary’s corner forward Ben O’Donoghue got inside the Templenoe defence to plant the ball in the net for their second goal. It was game on now, Brian Crowley was sprung from the bench to come to Templenoe’s rescue and he certainly didn’t disappoint getting two crucial scores as the game entered the stretch. St Marys replied with scores from Cian O’Donoghue and Alex Coffey and in between Gavin Crowley pointed for Templenoe, before Colin Crowley kept his composure to fire over the equalizer at the death for Templenoe with extra time to follow.

Full Time Score: Templenoe 0-15, St Marys 2-09.

Templenoe started extra-time all guns blazing with Aidan Crowley and Tadhg Morley (2 pointer) giving them a three points cushion. However, St Mary once again refused to say die and quickly reeled in Templenoe’s lead with points from Bryan Sheehan, Tadhg O’Connor and Jack Daly before Aidan Crowley nudged Templenoe ahead again with a free.

Half Time ET: Templenoe 0-19, St Marys 2-12.

It took the second half of extra time before Templenoe finally put St Marys away. Just when Templenoe needed them most Adrian Spillane, Gavin Crowley and Tadhg Morley all delivered points, which despite counter scores from Sean Cournane and Conor O’Shea were enough to earn Templenoe their first bit silverware since they last won the South Kerry League in 2023.

Final Score AET: Templenoe 0-22, St Marys 2-14.

After the final whistle the Donie Riney Cup was presented to Templenoe captain Gavin Crowley who in his speech complimented both teams on a great game of football. He also thanked the Templenoe management team of Derek Moynihan, Willie Cahill and Aidan Cahill, who have indicated their intention to step down from their positions for their brilliant commitment and dedication to their roles.

Templenoe: Aidan Crowley 0-04 (1f), Gavin Crowley 0-04, Tadhg Morley 0-03 (1 2pointer), Colin Crowley 0-03, Adrian Spillane 0-02, Martin Reilly 0-02, Brian Crowley 0-02, Sean Sheehan 0-01, Mark Casey 0-01.

Garvey’s Super Valu County Senior Football Championship, Round 1.

East Kerry 3-23, Templenoe 1-10.

East Kerry were hot favourites going into this contest and they fully justified their favourites tag with 19 points to spare over Templenoe at Beaufort last Saturday afternoon.

The game was played in dry but windy conditions with East Kerry having the wind advantage for the first half. Templenoe started okay with Aidan Crowley quickly countering Ruairi Murphy’s opening score for East Kerry to make score 1 point apiece after 4 minutes. But Templenoe struggled for a long time after that with East Kerry proving much quicker to the breaking ball. They made their domination count on the score board with nine unanswered points including a 2 pointer from Ruairi Murphy to put them 0-10 to 0-01 ahead after 21 minutes. That said Templenoe came close to getting the game’s first goal in the 10^th minute when a good team move ended with a John Spillane shot narrowly missing the target. The remaining minutes of the first half saw Killian Spillane (3) trade scores with Ruairi Murphy and David Clifford to leave eight points between the sides at the interval.

Half Time Score: East Kerry 0-12, Templenoe 0-04.

Any faint hopes of a Templenoe comeback were blown out of the water within the first eight minutes of the second half with 2 goals from Paul O’Shea and Ruairi Murphy along points from Paul O’Shea (2), David Clifford and Ronan Buckley more than doubling their lead to make the score 2-15 to 0-04 after 58 minutes of play. Templenoe battled on as they always do with Killian Spillane bagging a 2 pointer and a free, but East Kerry kept their foot on the pedal with a brace of points from Paul O’Shea, Matt Keane, Paudie O’Leary and Cian Gammell. Templenoe’s highlight of the game came in the 58^th minute when a high ball in from Aidan Crowley was palmed to the net by Sean Sheehan. This made the score 2-20 to 1-08. Further scores were added by Killian Spillane (2) for Templenoe, while East Kerry had white flags from Emmett O’Shea, Paul O’Shea and Philip O’Leary. Then the hooter sounded with East Kerry fully intent on finishing the game with a goal and that they did with Paudie O’Leary getting the final touch to somewhat of a goalmouth scramble.

Despite Templenoe’s proud achievement of reaching the last 8 of every county championship they participated coming to an end, all is not lost as they still have a South Kerry League Final to prepare for, while for East Kerry it’s a case of onwards and upwards and they will no doubt be hard to stop.

Final Score: East Kerry 3-23, Templenoe 1-10.

Scorers:

East Kerry: Ruairi Murphy 1-06 (1 2pointer), Paul O’Shea 1-03, David Clifford 0-05 (2f), Paudie O’Leary 1-01, Daniel O’Brien 0-02, Emmett O’Shea 0-02, Cian Gammell 0-01, Philip O’Leary 0-01, Matt Keane 0-01, Ronan Buckley 0-01.

Kerry Petroleum Senior Football Club Championship, Group 1, Round 3.

Templenoe 1-10, Na Gaeil 1-18.

Templenoe made their exit from this year senior club championship following an eight points defeat to an on-form Na Gaeil side who made two wins out of two to top the group.

Templenoe played with high intensity in the opening quarter and lead by 0-04 to 0-01 after ten minutes and possibly should have had more. Killian Spillane scored all four with one from play and three from placed balls. Na Gaeil’s sole score in this period came from Fergal Barry. Oisin Maunsell and Jack Barry exchanged scores with Gavin Crowley, before a goal somewhat against the run of play by Diarmaid O’Connor after he ran at the Templenoe defence to put the visitors in front for the first time to make the score 0-05 to 1-03.

Templenoe responded quite well with Colin Crowley nailing a two pointer free to put them back in front. However, it was the Tralee side who went on to make the stronger finish to the first half after they outscored the hosts by four points to one to go in the happier at the break. Na Gaeil just seemed to be able to take their scores that bit easier when they were on the offensive with Jack Doyle, Dara Devine and Kieran O’Connor all contributing while Killian Spillane landed over another free for Templenoe.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-08, Na Gaeil 1-07.

Templenoe went into this game needing to win by 9 points to qualify from the group, they now needed to win the second half by 11 points. This was always going to be a big ask. On resumption Killian Spillane reduced the margin to the minimum, but Na Gaeil hit back with two points on the bounce from Dara Devine and Oisin Maunsell. Then in the 38^th minute a goal from Gavin Crowley after he palmed the ball to the net on the rebound from a Mark Casey shot rocketing off the crossbar. This levelled the contest at 1-09 apiece and briefly raised the hopes of the home support.

However, it was from here on that Na Gaeil’s power began to show. Five unanswered points from Dara Devine, Conor Bohane, Jack Doyle , Sean O’Connor and Jack Sheehan put clear daylight between the sides with scoreboard reading 1-09 to 1-14 with 48 minutes played. Things didn’t get any better for the home side in the remaining minutes with just one more point courtesy of Killian Spillane, while Na Gaeil finished with a flurry at the other end with Oisin Maunsell, Diarmuid O’Connor (2) and Stefan Okunbar all scoring to end their day on a high note.

Final Score: Templenoe 1-10, Na Gaeil 1-18.

Scorers:

Templenoe: Killian Spillane 0-07 (5), Gavin Crowley 1-01, Colin Crowley 0-02 (1 2pointer)

Na Gaeil: Diarmaid O’Connor 1-02 (1f), Dara Devine 0-04 (3f), Oisin Maunsell 0-03, Jack Doyle 0-02, Fergal Barry 0-01, Jack Barry 0-01, Kieran O’Connor 0-01, Conor Bohane 0-01 (45), Sean O’Connor 0-01, Jack Sheehan 0-01, Stefan Okunbar 0-01.

Kerry Petroleum Senior Football Club Championship, Group 1, Round 1.

Austin Stacks 1-18, Templenoe 1-05.

Austin Stacks are back with a vengeance at senior grade putting together a display that Templenoe just couldn’t compete with on the day.

Austin Stacks had slight wind advance for the first half and took the lead three minutes in with a 2 pointer from Sean Quilter. Templenoe countered with Tadhg Morley and Colin Crowley finding their range to get the visitors off to a steady start. But that would turn out to be Templenoe’s last score in the first half. The hosts with their embarrassment of riches had the luxury of keeping their All-Star in waiting Joe O’Connor in reserve. Both sides exchanged a few wides before Paddy Lane and Ronan Shanahan put the hosts two points in front by the end of the first quarter.

Templenoe were trying hard, but time after time their attacks were either getting turned over or they chose the wrong options when the opportunities arose and other times their finishing let them down. Austin Stacks meanwhile kept the scoreboard ticking over with Darragh O’Brien, Shane O’Callaghan, Armin Heinrich, Paddy Lane and Eoghan Carroll all contributing to put them 7 points to the good by the interval.

Half Time Score: Austin Stacks 0-09, Templenoe 0-02.

Austin Stacks introduced Joe O’Connor for the second half, as they sought kill off Templenoe’s chances of recovery and at the restart Armin Heinrich extended their lead with another point. But there was a chink of light for Templenoe, when Adrian Spillane following good build up play got in for a goal with a well struck shot that scraped the crossbar on the way in to reduce the margin back to 5 points. Templenoe immediately tried to follow this up with another score, but good defending by the hosts kept them out, before they ultimately got a score of their own at the other end with Armin Heindrich continuing to shoot the lights out. In the ensuing passages of play Killian Spillane and Armin Heinrich exchanged points to make the score 0-12 to 1-03 at the end of the third quarter.

Any hopes of a Templenoe revival were put to bed in the 50th minute, when Paddy Lane found the net for the Stacks. Gavin Crowley replied with a two pointer for the visitors, but after that Austin Stacks started to ramp up the scores with Armin Heinrich, Fiachra Mangan, Daniel Kirby (2) and Paddy Lane (2 pointer) all chipping in to end the game in style. One notable feature from the game is that all the scores from both sides came from play.

Final Score: Austin Stacks 1-18, Templenoe 1-05.

Scorers:

Austin Stacks: Paddy Lane 1-04, Armin Heindrich 0-05, Sean Quilter 0-02 (1 2pointer), Daniel Kirby 0-02, Ronan Shanahan 0-01, Darragh O’Brien 0-01, Shane O’Callaghan 0-01, Eoghan Carroll 0-01, Fiachna Mangan 0-01.

Paudie Palmer Memorial Match:

Templenoe 0-13, Valley Rovers 1-11.

Despite the heavy rain, there was a good turnout at Templenoe GAA Grounds to commemorate and honour our late great friend, Paudie Palmer last Saturday afternoon.

Both sides served up a competitive and entertaining game of football with the outcome in the balance right up to the final whistle. Valley Rovers had the better of the early exchanges and a goal from Adam Walsh-Murphy 8 minutes in paved the way for them to lead 0-03 to 1-03 at the end of the first quarter. However, Templenoe came more into the game in the second quarter, the hosts started to get on top around midfield and points from Sean Sheehan (2) and Brian Crowley saw them reduce the deficit to the minimum by the interval.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-06, Valley Rovers 1-04

Soon after the restart, Templenoe edged ahead courtesy of 2 points on the trot from Aidan Crowley. But Valley Rovers replied in kind and by the end of the third quarter the sides were level at 0-09 to 1-06. Valley Rovers scored two 2 pointers in the last quarter which were crucial to the outcome of this contest. The visitors had a three points advantage with nine minutes remaining. However, Templenoe rallied again and two points from Mark Casey and Aidan Crowley left just a single point between the sides at the end of normal time. Then at the death Templenoe almost snatched victory with free from outside the arc, only for the ball to go wide of the posts. Valley Rovers held on for the narrowest of victories.

Full Time Score: Templenoe 0-13, Valley Rovers 1-11.

After the game following a few words from Templenoe Chairperson Tomas Crowley, Valley Rovers Manager Denis Kiely and Collette Palmer, the specially commissioned trophy was presented by Collette to the Valley Rovers joint captains Eoin Delaney and Jacob O’Driscoll.

Templenoe GAA Club wishes to thank the Palmer family, the Valley Rovers GAA Club, referee Brendan Brosnan, The Ring of Kerry Golf Club (for providing refreshments after the game) and to all who attended to help make the event a special occasion and hopefully the Paudie Palmer Memorial Match will continue for many years to come.

Templenoe’s last game of the county league ended in defeat away to Miltown/Castlemaine on Saturday evening.

Templenoe had wind advantage for the first half, but it was the hosts who got off to the perfect start with 1-02 inside the first 3 minutes courtesy of points from Cathal Moriarty and Dara Hogan, before they midfielder Sean Hogan added a goal after they turned over possession from Templenoe at the other end. To their credit Templenoe responded well this setback with two 2pointers on the trot through Aidan Crowley (f) and Gavin Crowley. Soon after Adrian Spillane tied the scores after he split the posts from close range. Aidan Crowley (2 pointer) traded scores with Cathal Moriarty, Gavin Mckenna and Eanna O’Connor, before Templenoe suffered another sucker punch when Cathal Moriarty got in for a goal for Milltown to make the score 2-05 to 0-07 at the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter saw the hosts outscore Templenoe by four points to three, with Dara Hogan (2), Brendan Casey and Gavin Mckenna finding the target for Milltown, while the visitors had white flags from Aidan Crowley (2) and Adrian Spillane.

Half Time Score: Milltown/Castlemaine 2-09, Templenoe 0-10.

It was always going to be a tall order for Templenoe to turn this game in their favour facing the wind for the second half. Though they did get the first score of the second half with Aidan Crowley thumping a free over the bar, it did not take long for Milltown to start turning the screw on their opponents. By the end of the third quarter the score was 2-15 to 0-12, with Eanna O’Connor (2pointer), Dara Hogan (2), David Roche and Conor Spillane all finding the range, while Templenoe’s solitary score in their period came the boot of Aidan Crowley (f). The visitors cause was not helped by a lot of wides.

The outcome was now inevitable and both sides used the opportunity to empty their benches. Milltown put the icing on the cake by way of their third goal of the day with Dara Hogan crowning a fine individual display by him to find the net. Eanna O’Connor added a few more scores to his tally to extend their lead further. Templenoe fought to the end had scores from Aidan Crowley and Gavin Crowley (2 pointer), on what was an otherwise forgettable day at the office for the visitors. Attention will now to the Club Championship, with Templenoe due to play Na Gaeil in the opening round.

Final Score: Milltown/Castlemaine 3-19, Templenoe 0-16.

Scorers:

Milltown/Castlemaine: Dara Hogan 1-05, Cathal Moriarty 1-03, Eanna O’Connor 0-06 (2f) (2 2pointer), Sean Hogan 1-00, David Roche 0-01, Brendan Casey 0-01, Gavin McKenna 0-02, Conor Spillane 0-01.

Credit Union County Senior Football League Division 2, Round 10.

Templenoe 2-08, Kenmare Shamrocks 1-14.

Kenmare Shamrocks had their first county league win over Templenoe since 2015 and remain on track to win the Division 2 league title after they had 3 points to spare over their neighbours on Friday evening.

There was a big crowd in attendance for this local derby game. Templenoe won the toss and opted to play with the breeze for the first half. Brian Crowley fresh from his wedding last week opened the scoring for the hosts inside the first minute. However, Kenmare replied with a bang Tom Murnane split the posts, before Dara O’Shea found himself through on goal and he pulled on the ball to take it past keeper Mark Looney to put the visitors in front. Adrian Spillane who was operating at full forward hit the post with Templenoe’s next attack. Kenmare then extended their lead with another point from Tom Murnane, before Colin Crowley found the net for the hosts after he also pulled on the ball for Templenoe’s first goal. The hosts followed this up with a 2 pointer free from Aidan Crowley and a further score from Sean Sheehan to put them 1-04 to 1-02 ahead at the end of the first quarter.

Soon after three points on the trot from the visitors saw them retake the lead courtesy of scores from Tom Murnane, Donal O’Sullivan Down and Jamie O’Regan. Then Aidan Crowley popped over a lovely 2 pointer from play, before Darren Allman got his name on the score sheet for Kenmare to level the scoring. Templenoe were then dealt a blow when Patrick Clifford had to retire injured. However, the hosts did have reason to cheer just before the break, when Adrian Spillane showed great courage to rise the highest to a long ball in, before gathering possession and firing the ball into the net for the host’s second goal.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 2-06, Kenmare Shamrocks 1-06.

On resumption Kevin O’Sullivan reduced the deficit with a point for Kenmare. The visitors dominated possession in the third quarter, but they squandered a few chances before Donal O’Sullivan Down eventually equalized with a 2pointer free. They almost followed this up with a goal only for Mark Looney to deny Tom Murnane’s effort. Templenoe edged themselves ahead again at the end of the third quarter with an Aidan Crowley free to make it 2-07 to 1-09.

Kenmare Shamrocks introduced veteran Paul O’Connor and he made a good impact on this game scoring 2 points, one from a free and one from play, either side of a Dara Crowley score as the visitors started to take control. At the other end Templenoe were struggling for scores with their efforts either going short or wide. Donal O’Sullivan Down extended the visitors lead to 4 points with 2 frees. Time was fast running out for Templenoe and they did pull one back with Aidan Crowley slotting over another free. However to salvage something from this game also needed another green flag, but they just couldn’t find a path to goal.

Final Score: Templenoe 2-08, Kenmare Shamrocks 1-14.

Templenoe: Aidan Crowley 0-06 (4f) (2 2pointers), Adrian Spillane 1-00, Colin Crowley 1-00, Brian Crowley 0-01, Sean Sheehan 0-01.

County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 9.

Dingle 0-14, Templenoe 1-11.

Templenoe made the long trip to Dingle and Sunday and came away with a share of the spoils and were full value for at least that having led for most of the contest.

The game was preceded with a minute’s silence for the late Sheilia O’Connor, Derrygarrane who passed away on Saturday, 7th June RIP.

Dingle made the brighter start and made full use of their wind advantage to open up a four points lead courtesy of Deividas Uosis, Tadhg Browne (2pointer) and Cathal Bambury. Templenoe’s response was emphatic and rewarding hitting 1-06 on the trot to stun the hosts and their supporters. A few well worked moves in that period saw Templenoe waste little or no possession and it began with Aidan Crowley slotting over 2 frees, then Colin Crowley showed great determination and skill to get the only goal of the game after 7 minutes of play. Further points followed from Aidan Crowley, Patrick Clifford, Colin Crowley and Gavin Crowley to make the score 0-04 to 1-06 at the end of the first quarter and put the visitors in a dream position.

Cathal Bambury and Aidan Crowley traded scores before the hosts rallied again and reduced the margin to the minimum just before the break thanks to points from Cathal Bambury (2) and Ned Ryan. It was all to play for.

Half Time Score: Dingle 0-09, Templenoe 1-07.

On resumption, Cathal Bambury and Aidan Crowley swapped points once more, before Adrian Spillane and Patrick Clifford put the visitors three points to the good. Dingle pulled one back with Ned Ryan splitting the posts, they then introduced their experienced midfielder Billy O’Connor as they pushed to take back control of this game. Tadhg Browne raised another white flag for the hosts soon after to make the 0-12 to 1-10 heading into the last quarter.

Both sides were guilty of a few wides, before Tadhg Browne and Deividas Uosis fired over two points in a row for Dingle to re-take the lead for the first time in 49 minutes. To their credit Templenoe did not panic and equalized with their next play with Adrian Spillane showing good composure to pop the ball over the bar. It could have gone either way in injury time, but neither side were able to convert their last chances and with that the referee blew for full time.

An Ghaeltacht 3-13, Templenoe 1-13.

An Gaeltacht extended a céad mile fáilte to Templenoe on a gale swept day a Gallarois. The hosts won the toss and naturally elected to play with the gale in the first half. They quickly sped into the lead with a scrappy goal inside the first few minutes. Over the course of the half this was followed by 5 two pointers, a fortuitous goal and two more points. Try as they might a battling Templenoe had only a pointed free from Colin Crowley to show for their efforts by half time.

Half Time Score: An Ghaeltacht 2-12, Templenoe 0-01.

Templenoe had a mountain to climb but they rose to the challenge. Aided by the wind they also scored 5 two pointers, three points and a well worked goal that was finished by Ríain O'Byrne. While An Gaeltacht had a player dismissed for a striking offence mid-way through the half , Templenoe just failed to do enough damage to a resolute local defence. An animated on-field discussion on the application of the new rules lead to a yellow card for a mentor on both sides before the game finished on a score of An Gaeltacht 3:13 to Templenoe 1:13.

County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 6.

Templenoe 4-21, Ardfert 0-07.

Templenoe had a whopping 26 points to spare over Ardfert on a beautiful afternoon at Templenoe GAA Grounds on Sunday.

Templenoe completely dominated possession from the start, but it took a bit of time for the scores to flow initially with just 4 points in the first quarter courtesy of Mark Casey (2), Aidan Crowley and Martin Reilly. Soon after though Templenoe did get into their stride and started to make their domination count on the scoreboard.

A goal by Brian Crowley in the 17th minute following good work by Mark Casey and Adrian Spillane set the tone for what was to follow. Adrian Spillane chipped in with 3 points of his own as did Aidan Crowley. The hosts also had contributions from Ciaran Crowley and Colin Crowley in the second quarter to put Templenoe well on their way for a full share of the spoils. It was very much becoming a damage limitation exercise for Ardfert, although ironically, they did score the only 2 pointer of the game though Fionan Egan and he was the visitors sole scorer in the first half with 3 points in total.

Half Time Score: Templenoe 1-12, Ardfert 0-03.

There was to be no let up from Templenoe in the second half. 3 more goals followed from Adrian Spillane, Brian Crowley and Mark Casey as the hosts ruthlessly turned the screw on their opponents. Ardfert soldiered on to the final whistle with Fionan Egan adding another 3 points to his tally and Brian Shanahan also got his name on the score sheet. But on the day, they were no match for the boys in blue, who proceeded to cruise to victory with points from Hugh Granville, Gavin Crowley (2), Aidan Crowley (3), Mark Casey, Brian Crowley and Sean Sheehan along the way.

Final Score: Templenoe 4-21, Ardfert 0-07.
