Celts and Blues through in cup, Cedar going up
K
Killarney Celtic have qualified for the final of the Greyhound Bar KO Cup following a relatively comfortable 3-1 win over Mitchels Avenue in Tralee. Peter McCarthy, Gary Keane and Wayne Sparling bagged the goals for the Celts, whose double dream is still very much on the cards. An all-Killarney cup decider is also a possibility as neighbours Athletic progressed to the last four with a 3-0 away victory over Castleisland.
Tony Brosnan was the undisputed star of the show for us on Friday. He bagged an incredible hat-trick, including a rasping free-kick from distance, and we’re still the hunt for silverware despite having a fairly disappointing season so far.
Our last three results against Castleisland were disastrous so we probably felt like we owed them one, but going back there is always tough. It was a decent performance from us, though, and it gives us a bit of confidence going forward. Killorglin finished third in the Premier B and they were the only team to get anywhere near promoted sides Tralee Celtic and Mitchels Avenue. Supposedly they have improved a lot as the season has gone on as well so we won’t be taking them lightly at all.
Going up
Hearty congratulations to Cedar Galaxy who are moving up yet again following their 3-0 win over Atletico Ardfert. They’ll be playing their football in the Premier B (second tier) next season and I see no reason why they can’t compete at that level too. They seem to be doing things the right way and it’s great to see another Killarney team doing so well. Their opponents in the league final will be either QPR or Ballyheigue - those two meet each other in the last game of the season on Monday. A draw will do for Quarry Park.
I’m sure Cedar will be satisfied just to go up but it’s always nice to win a final when you get there.
