Kerry and Dr Croke’s player Tony Brosnan captained the Munster Technology University team to victory over University College Dublin in the opening round of the Sigerson Cup on Wednesday.

rosnan contributed 1-4 to his team’s total of 1-13 to dismiss the favourites who managed 0-11 despite missing some of the first half to injury – although he did return for the second half.

There was plenty local interest in the game that was played in Tralee.

Brosnan’s Dr Croke’s teammates Mark Fitzgerald, Mark O’Shea and Evan Looney were on the starting 15 alongside Darragh Lyne (Killarney Legion) Dara Moynihan ( Spa) Paul O’Shea (Kilcummin) Mike Breen (Beaufort) and Anthony Darmody (Rathmore).

The MTU side was managed by former Kerry great, Aidan O’Mahony, of Rathmore.

Meanwhile, Fossa’s David Clifford starred for the University of Limerick as they beat Sligo IT on Tuesday night.

O’Leary and Lynch among local stars as Kerry win Camogie league final

Published

The “trilogy” between Kerry and Meath ended in triumph for the Kingdom on Saturday, as the Kerry Intermediate Camogie team secured the Division 2 league title in Banagher.


In a match dominated by a fierce breeze and relentless defending, Kerry edged out their rivals by 1-07 to 0-08. While the scoreboard remained low, the impact of the Killarney-area players was a decisive factor in securing Division 1B status for next season.
Kate Lynch of Glenflesk, a mainstay of the attack this season, started in the forward line and contributed to an offensive effort that gradually wore down the Meath backline. However, it was the second-half introduction of Rathmore dual star Danielle O’Leary that helped shift the momentum.
Entering the game in the 43rd minute, O’Leary sharpened the Kerry attack during the intense midfield battles of the final quarter. Her impact was most evident when she combined with fellow substitute Shannon Collins to set up Patrice Diggin’s only score from play, providing the platform for the game’s decisive moment.
In the 55th minute, Collins fired a low shot into the net to nudge Kerry ahead. Despite a late Meath rally, Patrice Diggin held her nerve to slot over two late dead-ball scores to seal the win.
While Kathryn Ryan, Áine Devlin, and Tiarna Dineen were part of the matchday panel and have played key roles throughout this unbeaten campaign, they were not called upon from the bench on this occasion.
Scorers for Kerry: P Diggin 0-07 (4fs, 2 45s); S Collins 1-00
Kerry: A Fitzgerald, T McCarthy, S Murphy, M Costello, R Quinn, N Leen, E O’Donoghue, P Diggin, C Spillane, A O’Sullivan, J Horgan, K Lynch, R O’Connor, L Collins, E Conway. Subs: D O’Leary for Conway, S Collins for Lynch (43); A Behan for Quinn (43)
