A Peter McCarthy hat-trick helped Killarney Celtic to an easy 5-1 victory away to Castleisland on Sunday and Eoghan Donnellan’s men are now 12 points clear at the top of the table. Danny Roche and Vukasin Ocic completed the scoring in another rout. If you take the Inter Kenmare walkovers out of the equation Celtic are averaging five goals a game. It has been relentless from them up to this point.

Dingle moved into second with a 4-2 win over Tralee Dynamos and they look like they’ll be staying there at this stage. They are two points ahead of Athletic with a game in hand. Fenit will be the opposition in both of their remaining fixtures and all they need is two points to secure a spot in the league final. You would put your house on them, to be honest.

We had another poor result on Sunday against Fenit and the air has really gone out of our tires by this stage. Goals from Shane Lynch and Tony Brosnan (penalty) had us 2-0 up at half time but we conceded within 20 seconds of the restart and ended up drawing 2-2. It’s the third time this season we’ve let a two-goal lead slip and we’ve dropped eight points in total from winning positions. It would be funny if it wasn’t so depressing.

The only positive is the fact that we’re going to have all of our league games played by May 20. We play Dynamos at home on Sunday in our 16^th and final league fixture of the season. It’s a match that Dynamos really have to win if they want to stay up. They’re currently second bottom, one point behind Mastergeeha who also have a game in hand. Dynamos’ other remaining fixture is away to Celtic.

Geeha have Fenit home and away and Listowel at home but they’ll be hoping that neighbours Athletic and Celtic do them a favour and turn Dynamos over. If we do, Geeha will be safe regardless of what happens in their own games.

Celtic at home to Tralee Celtic in the quarter final of the Greyhound Bar KO Cup. The Tralee side drew their Premier B league final against Mitchels Avenue last Friday so the destination of the title is yet to be decided but both teams will play Premier A football next season.

The first round of the Reserve Cup also takes place this weekend and Cedar Galaxy have been handed a tough away fixture against Rattoo Rovers. Fellow Division 1A title contenders QPR are away to Mitchels Avenue, while Ballyhar Dynamos host Castlegregory in Murt Scott Park.
