Credit Union County SFL Division 2 Match Report, Templenoe V Fossa
County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 3.
Templenoe 1-19, Fossa 0-20.
Templenoe edged Fossa in a cliffhanger to maintain their 100% record in this year’s county league at Templenoe GAA Grounds last Saturday evening.
Despite playing against the breeze for the first half it was Fossa who dominated the early exchanges as they raced into 0-00 to 0-04 lead after 9 minutes of play, with Emmet O’Shea firing on all cylinders including one 2pointer from a free. It took 10 minutes for the hosts to get their first score with Brian Crowley the provider, before Aidan Crowley added another from a placed ball. Emmet O’Shea traded points with Aidan Crowley (f) to make it 0-03 to 0-05 at the end of the first quarter.
Mark Looney was called upon to make a important save from Fossa’s Killian Buckley after he got inside the Templenoe defence. Nonetheless Fossa went on to extend their advantage to 0-08 to 0-04 by the 20th minute following scores from Emmet O’Shea, Eoin Talbot, Ted O’Gorman and Matt Rennie. Templenoe’s sole score in that period came from Mark Casey with a lovely score from an acute angle. However, the hosts finished the first half strongly with Aidan Crowley (2f), Brian Crowley, and a 2 pointer from Mark Casey creating a five points turnaround to put Templenoe in the lead for the first time just ahead of the half time whistle.
Half Time Score: Templenoe 0-09, Fossa 0-08.
On resumption, Fossa immediately equalized courtesy of Harry Buckley, before Templenoe hit another purple patch to enable them to pull four points clear through Aidan Crowley (3) and Brian Crowley. But soon after Fossa would reduce the margin to two points again as the ebb and flow nature of this game continued to ensue. By the end of the third quarter the score was 0-15 to 0-13, with Matt Rennie, Emmet O’Shea (2) and Dan O’Keeffe finding the range for the East Kerry side, while Adrian Spillane and Daniel Crowley kept the scoreboard ticking over for Templenoe.
The last quarter saw both sides go all out for the win. It was tick for tack with Templenoe maintaining their lead, but Fossa were staying right with them. With five minutes of normal time remaining the score was 0-18 to 0-16. Colin Crowley, Mark Casey and Aidan Crowley (f) were on target for the hosts, while Dan O’Keeffe, Harry Buckley and Rian Colleran replied in kind for the visitors. The stage was set for a grand stand finish. Emmet O’Shea traded points with Brian Crowley, before the former hit a wonderful 2 pointer to make it 0-19 points apiece as the game went into added time. Then cometh the hour cometh the man, Adrian Spillane got himself into a goal scoring position following good build up play and for the third county league game in succession he found the net for a crucial goal for Templenoe. Fossa had one last hurrah and earned a close in free, but they just couldn’t find a pathway to goal with Tadhg O’Shea having to settle for pointed free with their last throw of the dice.
Final Score: Templenoe 1-19, Fossa 0-20.
Scorers:
Templenoe: Aidan Crowley 0-08 (7f), Adrian Spillane 1-01, Brian Crowley 0-04, Mark Casey 0-04 (1 2pointer), Daniel Crowley 0-01, Colin Crowley 0-01
Fossa: Emmet O’Shea 0-11 (2 2pointers) (3f), Harry Buckley 0-02, Matt Rennie 0-02, Rian Colleran 0-01, Eoin Talbot 0-01, Ted O’Gorman 0-01, Dan O’Keeffe 0-01, Tadhg O’Shea 0-01 (1f)

Credit Union County SFL Division 2 Match Report, Keel V Templenoe
County Senior Football League, Division 2, Round 2.
Keel 2-10, Templenoe 2-14.
Templenoe had a good win on the road away to Keel to make it 2 wins out of 2 in the county league at Keel GAA Grounds last Saturday evening.
Underfoot conditions were slippy and there was a crossfield field breeze that seemed to favour Templenoe in the first half and Keel in the second half. Keel dominated the possession in the opening 10 minutes, but they failed to make it count on the scoreboard hitting 3 wides and 2 short. But Adrian Spillane made no such mistake for Templenoe with his first effort sailing all the ways over the bar from outside the arc for a 2 pointer in the 5th minute. The visitors consolidated their position with three unanswered points from Gavin Crowley, Aidan Crowley (45), Colin Crowley (f) to put them 0-00 to 0-05 ahead at the end of the first quarter.
It took 17 minutes for Keel to open their account through Dylan Prendergast from play, but then came Templenoe best spell in the game when they doubled their tally within 4 minutes. Adrian Spillane with his trademark run cut through the Keel defence and buried ball to the net giving keeper Stephen Cahillane no chance. Mark Casey and Hugh Granville raised white flags either side of Adrian Spillane’s goal to extend the visitors lead to nine points. The hosts had scores from Shane Evans and Paul Costello (f) before the break to keep their hopes alive, while Templenoe made sure they would have the upper hand going into the second half with further scores from Aidan Crowley (f) and Sean Sheehan.
Half Time Score: Keel 0-04, Templenoe 1-09.
At the re-start Aidan Crowley with a 2 pointer free, traded scores with Paul Costello (f) and Shane Evans for Keel. The hosts squandered a few more scoring chances before Lachlan Griffin and Mark Casey swapped points. Then came Templenoe’s second goal when good build up play saw Mark Casey through on goal and he riffled his shot to the net. This made the score 0-06 to 2-12 after 48 minutes of play.
Keel refused to lie down however and soon after they staged a rally of their own hitting 1-04 without reply, which started with a goal from Shane Evans and they quickly followed up on this with a 2 pointer from Colin Foley along with 2 more scores from their sharpshooter Shane Evans. All of a sudden there was now only 5 points separating the sides. When cool heads were needed towards the end both Ronán O’Connor and Mark Casey put up their hands with 2 late points to seal the win. Keel did hit back one last time with a converted penalty from Shane Evans, but Templenoe despite losing Mark Casey to a black card at the end had already done enough.
Final Score: Keel 2-10, Templenoe 2-14.
Scorers:
Keel: Shane Evans 2-04 (1-00p) (1f), Paul Costello 0-02 (2f), Dylan Predergast 0-01, Lachlan Griffin 0-01, Colin Foley 0-02 (1 2pointer)
Templenoe: Mark Casey 1-03, Adrian Spillane 1-02 (1 2pointer), Aidan Crowley 0-03 (1 2pointer) (3f), Colin Crowley 0-01 (1f), Gavin Crowley 0-01, Hugh Granville 0-01, Sean Sheehan 0-01, Ronán O’Connor 0-01.

Jack (Jacko) O'Sullivan - RIP
It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our Templenoe GAA Club President, Jack (Jacko) O’Sullivan of Claddanure on Wednesday, 19th March. Jacko was a beloved member of Templenoe, and will be remembered for his kindness, gentle nature and dedication to his family and community.
Jacko was a lifelong and devoted member of Templenoe GAA Club who contributed on many occasions down through the years to the Blue & White. He lined out in goal during the 1950’s and 1960’s and captained the Templenoe Team in 1958.
Upon retirement from the Templenoe Senior team, Jacko served as a club officer where he was a delegate to the District Board, as well as a mentor to some underage teams in the 60’s.
As a supporter Jacko followed Templenoe through thick and thin and was a familiar smiling face down at the Templenoe GAA Field. Jacko passed on his love to Templenoe to his four sons, Patrick, John, Tom and Paul who lined out from underage to senior, and helped keep the club going through the less successful years. His son Patrick served as PRO for over 10 years and Paul is the current club PRO. Sadly, we lost our corner back, Tom in 2020.
Outside of football, Jacko’s other great interests were in farming and playing cards. He was an ever present at the Annual Templenoe GAA 31 card drive.
Jacko has been a Templenoe GAA Club President since 2020. This was a position that Jacko felt deeply honoured by and it was richly deserved.
Everyone at Templenoe GAA Club would like to extend our sincere condolences to his wife Mary (O’Connor), Patrick, John and Paul O’Sullivan, and the wider O’Sullivan and O’Connor family’s on the passing of Jack (Jacko) O’Sullivan.
