KERRY CAMOGIE
Littlewoods Camogie Intermediate League Division 2 Group 2
Cork 2-14 Kerry 0-5
Not Kerry’s day and Cork were the better side. But Kerry gained valuable experience and with Galway’s win over Tipp this means next Saturday’s game will be crucial in deciding whether its quarterfinal or a relegation scrap. So, plenty to play for and the girls will be giving it everything. The Crotta Hurling club was represented by Aoife Behan (wing back) and Jackie Horgan (Centre Forward) (0-2) and Amy O’Sullivan, Crotta who came on in the 2nd half, and was making her senior inter county debut.

KERRY SENIOR HURLERS
Kerry 1-24 Meath 0-24
Kerry got back to winning ways at Austin Stack Park on Sunday 23rd May in their Allianz Hurling League Division 2A Round 3 clash with Meath.
Meath who last won in Kerry way back in 1997 looked very unlikely to break that duck after they left Kerry open up an early 12-point lead, but the Royals would get back to within just a point early in the second half as the Kingdom needed to find a reserve of character to eke out a three-point win at the death.
Kerry who struggled fell to a 21-point defeat of Offaly needed a big start and Fintan O’Connor could not have faulted his men’s start. Shane Nolan fired a goal after just 47 seconds as Kerry played a wide expansive attacking game with some beautiful cross field passes opening up the Meath defence at ease especially in the opening 12 minutes as they deservedly built a 1-7 to 0-2 lead. The Kerry lead was just three at the half time break 1-11 to 0-11
The Crotta hurling club was well represented by Barry Mahony (wing forward), Shane Nolan (Midfield) (1-02) and Donal Hunt came as a sub. Kerry now faces Wicklow in Austin Stack’s Park, Tralee

Have you got any unused Hurlies around your home? Wouldn’t it be great if they could be put to good use again?
Crotta GAA would love it if you could have a Hurley hunt and if any are found please consider passing them on to Crotta’s future stars. All you need to do is pass them to your coach at your next training session or any club officer and we will do the rest. We will carry out any repairs that may be needed, regrip them and pass them onto a player who will get hours and hours of fun and enjoyment from the gift you have given them.
