Wins for Legion and Crokes in County League

Legion made it two from two in the County League with a hardearned win over Austin Stacks on Saturday last.

A stiff breeze backing the Tralee side saw them lead 0-9 to 0-4 at half-time in Derreen but a Darragh Lyne goal early in the second half laid the foundations for a 1-10 to 0-12 win. James O’Donoghue kicked 0-4 for the hosts with Finbarr Murphy adding 0-3. Elsewhere in Division 1, Kilcummin and Dingle had to make do with a point apiece after a hard-fought encounter in Kilcummin (0-10 to 0-10). Dingle started brightly and lead by three points early on but scores from Gary O’Leary and Mark O'Shea brought the home team level. Kilcummin trailed by a point at half-time but scores by Philip O’Leary and Paul O’Shea ensured that the club from East Kerry picked up their first point of the season. Meanwhile, Dr Crokes secured a comfortable 10-point win in Gneeveguilla (1-14 to 0-7). Points by David Shaw (03) and Harry Potts (0-2) meant Crokes led by three at the break.

JOD: Legion veteran James O'Donoghue kicked four points against Austin Stacks.

Crokes took control in the second half with Mark O’Shea very strong at midfield, kicking two great points. Billy Courtney also caught the eye by scoring 0-4 (two from play). The full back line of Brian Fitzgerald, Mark Fitzgerald and David Naughton were outstanding with Brian O’Shea in goals very composed.

Youngster Alex Hennigan got a great individual goal at the end when he intercepted a loose pass before carrying it 50 yards and coolly slotting under the opposition keeper.

All-Ireland intermediate champions Rathmore had a good win away to Spa (3-14 to 3-11); Milltown/Castlemaine beat Castleisland Desmonds by a point (0-12 to 0-11); and Kerins O’Rahillys beat Ballymac by a goal (2-12 to 1-12).
