Final Four
The 2024 Garvey’s SuperValu Kerry County Senior Football Championship has reached semi-final stage. The final four teams will be in action this weekend for what will be two eagerly anticipated semi-finals.
Both games will be on in Austin Stack Park and both semi-finals will see a district team playing a club team. On Saturday night, senior club champions Dr Crokes take on St Brendans Board who of course include Kerins O’Rahillys for the first time alongside Austin Stacks and John Mitchels as well as Ardfert, St Pats and Churchill.
It is going to be fascinating to see whether the club side can triumph over the new look district outfit. On Sunday, we will see another club district clash. Champions East Kerry play their good rivals Dingle. The West Kerry side have been hit by the loss of county star Conor Geaney and they are also likely to be out without Mikey Geaney. East Kerry still have doubts over the fitness of Darragh Roche, Cian Gammell and Donal O’Sullivan.

Goals were the order of the day in what was an end-to-end clash, AC were behind by one at the break and did start the second half the brighter.
Celtic controlled the ball well in the opening exchanges, searching for that over the top ball to get their forwards through on goal. The deadlock was broken after ten minutes, Erin Moloney floated a corner from the right side into the box, AC tried to clear the danger only for the ball to come right back onto the head of Mark Kolesnikov to score.
One became two in the blink of an eye. Almost from the resulting kick off, Moloney who provided the assist for the opener had the ball in the back of the net just a minute later. Moloney then came close to scoring his second shortly after, Mikey Moynihan with the delivery, Darragh McElligott able to save the effort.
