Seniors fall to Ballymac

Junior Premier Championship – Group 4 Rnd 2
Emmets 3-07 V Ballymac 1-17

Report by David Noonan

Last Saturday evening our seniors made the trip to Ballymac for their second game of the Junior Premier Championship. It was a must win game knowing a loss would put them out of contention in Group 4. Ballymac opened the scoring with a good solo run from Dara Keane who split the posts with ease. Listowel than got a point of their own through a super effort from David Keane. Seven minutes into the game Noel Kennelly had a good one-on-one chance but Padraig Laide pulled off a great save to keep Ballymac in front. Emmets got a foothold on proceedings shortly after and rolled off three points on the trot by Eddie Browne, David Keane and a 45 from Jamie Barry.

Na Gaeil down Emmets in Championship opener

Junior Premier Championship – Group 4 Rnd 1
Emmets 1-07 V Na Gaeil 2-19

Last Saturday evening Emmets seniors opened up their Junior Premier Championship with a disappointing display against a strong Na Gaeil outfit.
Listowel opened the scoring after just one minute with a point from Cormac Mulvihill who skipped passed his marker with ease to fire over a good score. Na Gaeil then hit back with a score from Darragh Carmody. Four minutes into the game Diarmuid O’Connor soloed his way through an open Emmets defence and placed the ball past a helpless Cathal Keane as the Tralee side settled into their stride and began to dominate posession.
