Kilmeena V Ballintubber West Mayo U16 Boys B Championship Final

2017-09-06T11:08:50+01:00

In Islandeady on Tuesday evening last, Kilmeena U16 produced a commanding second half performance to win the West Mayo title in fine style.
The game started at a frantic pace with Ballintubber settling much quicker and raced into a 1 - 1 lead after five minutes and looked very dangerous in every attack. Kilmeena deployed corner forward Jason Mc Glynn into the role of sweeper where he gave a Man of the Match performance. With Kilmeena now well settled into the game they tagged on 3 points to leave the minimum between the teams after the first quarter. The rest of the first half was tit for tat with a tale of missed chances on both sides, to leave the half time score Ballintubber 1 - 3 Kilmeena 0 - 5.
After a few stern words and home truths at the half time break, Kilmeena were ready for the second half and showed real intent as the excellent Jack Carney won the throw in, drove forward and won a free which levelled the match. The Kilmeena back line were winning all the individual battles (limiting Ballintubber to 2 points from play in the entire second half) midfield were well on top and the forwards working much better as a unit Kilmeena took the game by the scruff of the neck. The classy Mikey Hastings scored a brilliant individual goal and two further points to put Kilmeena in a commanding position, with fifteen minutes to go. The introduction of Killian O'Grady seemed to spark Kilmeena up a gear and the last fifteen minutes was a joy to watch with free flowing attacking football. A superb team goal finished by the speedy Simon Duffy on twenty minutes ending the game as a contest. As both teams introduced fresh legs Kilmeena tagged on a further three points. With time almost up another slick Kilmeena attack was resulted in the hard working Kian Moore finishing superbly to the net, to leave a final score of Kilmeena 3 - 11 Ballintubber 1 - 06. The final whistle was greeted with great excitement as the large Kilmeena contingent made there way onto the pitch.
This game brought the curtain down on a very successful U16 season. The league and the championship double was won.

On behalf of the Management team, Padraic Moore, Neil O'Donnell and Declan Ryan it was a pleasure working with this exceptional group of young men who will no doubt go onto future success.

Adam Sheridan, Tom Smyth, Brian Mortimer, Chris Mc Glynn, Simon Duffy, Ronan O' Donnell (F), Niall Mullen, Mikey Hastings, Jack Carney, Mark Hastings, Kian Moore, Iain Murphy, Roman O'Donnell (K), Chris Mc Nally, Jason Mc Glynn.

Kilmeena V Ballina U16 Boys Div 2 C/ship

2017-07-18T08:53:50+01:00

Kilmeena U16s travelled to Ballina this evening where they were beaten in the Division 2 county championship by Ballina in a highly entertaining game. Ballina started much better than Kilmeena and dominated most of the first half and went in leading by 2 - 3 to 0 - 3 points.However, Kilmeena who were missing some key players rallied well in the second half and really put it up to Ballina. However, in the sweltering heat on a beautiful evening, Ballina just had too much in the end running out winners on the scoreline of

Ballina 4 - 3 to Kilmeena 0 - 9 points.

Kilmeena V Holymount/Carramore U16 League County Semi-Final

2017-05-16T23:17:31+01:00

With a place at stake in a County Final, Kilmeena put in a workman like performance to overcome a determined Hollymount/Carramore side at home on Tuesday evening last. Kilmeena playing against a strong breeze settled well with 2 early points but Hollymount/Carramore levelled by 10minutes. Both teams traded points but a Kian Moore goal on 15minutes put the home side in control. Kilmeena now playing free flowing football hit 5 points without reply, but Hollymount/Carramore hit back with 3 quick fire points in a 2 minute spell just before the break to leave a half time score of Kilmeena 1-09 Hollymount/Carramore 0-06.
The second half began with both teams trading a brace of points and a converted Hollymount/Carramore penalty on 10 minutes, left 2 points between the teams. With Hollymount/Carramore growing more and more in confidence it was now game on. Kilmeena dug deep and with impressive defending and clever use of possession around the middle they hit 4 points without reply. With the game entering the final quarter and Hollymount/Carramore throwing everything at the home side Kilmeena freshened up the attack with introduction of Sean Prenty and Cillian O’Grady. This paid immediate dividends with 2 Sean Prenty goals within a 3 minute spell to end the game as a contest. Hollymount/Carramore hit back with a consolation goal but the home side tagged on further points to leave a final score of Kilmeena 3 - 19 to Hollymount/Carramore 2 - 08. This was an all round solid performance by Kilmeena who can now look forward to a County Final next week against Ardnaree. Well done to a great bunch of young men.

Kilmeena V Ardnaree Boys U16 League

2017-05-08T11:33:03+01:00

Kilmeena U-16s recorded an impressive home win over Ardnaree in a top of the table clash on Sunday evening last on a perfect sunny evening for football. Both teams played flowing football from the start and the home side settled with an early point, but on a mix up in the home defence let Ardnaree in for a goal after 5 mins. Both teams traded points to leave it 1 - 03 to 0 - 3 midway in the first half. Kilmeena found the net on 18mins after a flowing move, but Ardnaree hit back with 3 points before the break to lead 1 - 06 to 1 - 03.
The second half began with more intensity and with the home side now dominating at midfield, they ran at Ardnaree from all areas scoring 2-04 without reply to lead by 7 mid way through 2nd half. Just as the game seemed to be swinging in favour of the home side, Ardnaree hit back with 1 - 01 to leave 3 between them entering the last 10mins. Kilmeena responded with 3 points but a converted Ardanree penalty on 27mins set up a frantic finish. A Kilmeena point on 29mins put 4 between them to leave a final score of 3 - 12 to 3 - 08.
This result completed a great week for Kilmeena U16s as on Thursday evening last they recorded an impressive away win over Swinford with a final score of Swinford 2 - 04, Kilmeena 3 - 15. With the league now complete and Kilmeena sitting proudly on top of the table (7wins out of 8) they can now look forward to a home semi final.
Well done to all involved on a great season so far.
Team:
Adam Sheridan, Tom Smyth, Brian Mortimor, Chris Mc Glynn, Oisin Grimley, Ronan O’ Donnell (F), Simon Duffy, Jack Carney, Mikey Hastings, Mark Hastings, Kian Moore, Robbie Satunton, Jason Mc Glynn, Chris Mc Nally, Cillian O’ Grady. Subs: Iain Murphy , Gerard Gibbons.

Kilmeena V Aghamore U16 Boys League

2016-07-27T10:26:46+01:00

Aughamore travelled to St Brendans Park this Tuesday evening to take on our lads in the U16 League. The weather this evening was more suited to a winters day but both teams brought some sparkle to St Brendans.
Before the game started there was a minutes silence for Tommy Casey RIP. Tommy was a great club man and will be greatly missed by the club and the community.
The ball was thrown in and with Aughamore playing with the aid of a strong breeze dominated the first half. Both teams found it difficult to control the ball as it was more akin to a bar of soap. Aughamore lead at half 0 - 6 to 0 - 2. The second half was far more entertaining with both teams playing open football and scoring coming easier. There was some great scores and long range points. Kilmeena drew level on two occasions in the second half but could not get their noses in front.
Eventually Kilmeena ran out of time and lost by the narrowest of margins.
Great credit must go to both teams for serving up a very entertaining game and all of us in the stand enjoyed your efforts.
Kilmeena abu.
