Fossa Seniors:

Fossa are at home to Glenflesk on Friday evening next August 27^th in the opening round of the East Kerry Championship. Throw in is at 6.45p.m. and all support would be greatly appreciated.

 

Fossa Juniors:

The junior team were in action twice in three days last weekend and on both occasions went down by the minimum. On Friday night, they played host to Tarbert in the quarter final of the Cahill cup. In a close encounter Fossa were just pipped on a final scoreline of 0-12 to 1-8. On Sunday they travelled to Scartaglin in the first round of the O’ Sullivan Cup but alas they were once again to go down by a single point on a scoreline of 2-8 to 1-10. Although no silverware was lifted by the Juniors this year it has been quite successful and with a bit of luck one or two results could have gone the other way. Well done to the mentors James Houlihan, Seamus Falvey and Willie Buckley who put in great effort throughout the year. Let’s hope we can bring it on to next year.

 

Fossa/Listry Minors:

Fossa-Listry completed the league phase of the East Kerry Division 2 league unbeaten when the defeated Scart-Cordal in Scartaglin on Thursday night last on a final scoreline of 4-12 to 2-7. This ensures passage to the final which has yet to be fixed due to other outstanding fixtures. Although not a vintage display from the lads, they did what had to be done with the goals coming from Patrick Sheehan, Brenden Falvey, Kevin Courtney and Sean Lehane.

 

Fossa U16 Co. Final

Fossa 4-19 St Pats 3-7

Played in Keel on Wednesday evening last, the Fossa U16 side claimed the county league title for the second year in a row when they produced a fabulous display to overcome a gallant St. Pats side. Although the final scoreline suggests differently this was a hard fought and high quality encounter between two fine sides. Fossa started in whirlwind fashion with Dara Rice opening the scoring with a well taken point before Daid Osterloh galloped through the centre to blast to the net. Tadhg O’ Shea added a pointed free before the excellent Pats centre forward Brenden Savage opened their account. Fossa then hit two goals in a minute when firstly Brenden Curran was at the end of a defensive mix up to calmly finish and from the resultant kick out Tadhg O’ Shea was at the end of a fine move and made no mistake from close range. Pats replied with a point but only after a fine save from Daniel O’ Connel denied them a goal but the O’ Shea brothers were to hit a purple patch and hit the next six points between them. Fossa now led 3-8 to 0-2 and all seemed lost for Pats. However, they began gaining more possession around the middle of the field and hit and unanswered 1-3 before the break. Half Time: Fossa 3-8 St. Pats 1-5. St Pats again made the early running in the second half where they struck 1-2 in the opening ten minutes to leave just 4 points between the sides. Fossa responded by swithing the O’ Shea brothers and it had the desired effect with Fossa starting to gain more ball around the middle. Daniel O’ Keeffe made a great run before being fouled with Tadhg O’ Shea slotting the resultant free. Tadhg added the next three from play before Mikey O’ Shea had the white flag raised again after playing a smart 1-2 with Brenden Curran. St. Pats rallied once more but another magnificent save by O’ Connell kept them at bay. Tadhg Shea registered another minor before Daniel O’ Keeffe hit two superb scores in as many minutes. Eoin O Carroll hit a goal for Pats but Fossa finished superbly with a further 1-3, Mikey O’ Shea with 1-1, the goal coming from a quick free, Tadhg Shea adding another and finally a sublime effort from the left leg of Paudie Clifford. Fianl Score: Fossa 4-19 St. Pats 3-7. This was a wonderful display by the Fossa lads and great credit must go to their mentors James O’ Shea and John McKenna for the wonderful work they put in throughout the year. Both were unable to hide their delight at the final whistle. Thanks too to the numerous supporters who travelled to Keel on the night. As for the team, Daniel O’ Connell was flawless in goal making some fine saves with the full back line of Diarmuid Burke, captain Dan Griffin and the excellent Johnny Coffey superb throughout. Shane Hennigan was strong at centre back and on either wing Daniel O’ Keeffe and Colm Walsh gave exemplary displays. At midfield both Davis Osterloh and Mikey O’ Shea won an amount of ball and contributed an impressive 2-3 to the scoresheet. The half forward line of Padraig Devane, Dara Rice and Paudie Clifford were also fantastic both at picking up breaks and chipping in with vital scores. Inside Brenden Curran and Gearoid O’ Sullivan were great partners in crime to the devastating Tadhg O’ Shea. It was an amazing exhibition of score taking by the eldest of the O’ Shea brothers and one of the finest displays this writer has seen in a long time. Morris Prendiville and Alan Buckley didn’t put a foot wrong when introduced. Well done again to all involved.
