The Allianz Cumann na mBunscoil South Kerry hurling finals took place in brilliant sunshine at the Kilgarvan GAA pitch on Monday, May 25.

In the Division 1 final, Holy Family National School Rathmore secured a fine victory over St. John’s National School Kenmare following a keenly fought and exciting encounter.

There was very little between the sides at halftime, but Holy Family opened up a gap in the third quarter and finished with a brace of late goals to seal the win on a scoreline of 6-5 to 3-3.

Pádraig O’Sullivan, Matthew O’Riordan, and James Buckley put in stand-out performances for the Rathmore side, while the work rate of Gavin Murphy, Dylan Moynihan, and Paddy O’Connor proved crucial to the win.

St. John’s Kenmare fought hard throughout, with Kori Walsh keeping the defence tight alongside Sean Tagney, Tristan Healy Kruis, and Timmy O’Sullivan, while Danny O’Sullivan, Cillian Kelleher, and Donie Lynch led the Kenmare attack.


The Division 2 title went to hosts Kilgarvan National School following a highly competitive three-team blitz that also featured Knockaderry National School and newcomers Scoil Ignáid Rís from Dingle.


Kilgarvan topped the group after some fantastic displays, with Séimí Tuohy performing excellently outfield and making crucial saves to relieve teammate Charlie Delaney, who did an equally superb job in goal. Knockaderry National School battled hard with Aidan Barry and Andrew Daly very much to the fore, while Danny Ó Brosnacháin made outstanding saves in goal and Harry Ó Conchúir worked tirelessly in midfield for the Dingle outfit.


Following their regional victories, Holy Family National School Rathmore alongside Kilgarvan National School will now advance to the county sections to represent South Kerry.
