Spa maintained their 100% record in Division 1 of the County League last Saturday evening as they defeated Junior Premier champions Beaufort in Tullig. Mike McCarthy, Evan Cronin, Mike O’Donoghue and Ryan O’Carroll all impressed for the hosts and the result means that the Killarney club, who were only promoted this year, are still in first place.

Spa are closely followed by near neighbours Dr Crokes who had a narrow victory over Templenoe in Lewis Road, a late goal by substitute Jordan Kiely proving crucial in the end.

Legion also secured a crucial win at home to Kerins O’Rahilly’s as an impressive first half display helped them to a hard-fought one-point victory in Derreen. Lively forward Peter McCarthy scored the goal but it was Jamie O’Sullivan who really came up trumps for the home team as he kicked the winner late on. Stand-in goalkeeper Colm ó Cuív also caught the eye for Legion, who are now on four points in seventh.

Rathmore defeated Dingle by six points in Rathbeg and the West Kerry club are now rooted to the bottom of the table with zero points from their opening four games.

Down in Division 2, Intermediate champs Kilcummin showed no signs of a hangover as they beat Ardfert in Ardfert by 2-15 to 2-11. Kilcummin were missing seven of their starting team from the final but goals in each half from the ever-reliable Shane McSweeney propelled them to another important win.

Glenflesk, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing defeat at home to Austin Stacks. Castleisland are currently out in front in the second tier with eight points from their opening four games.

In Division 3, Listry came out on top of their feisty clash with Dr Crokes B with five points to spare. It was their first win of the season and they now find themselves in eighth place on three points. Crokes’ second team are currently in third, three points behind leaders Annascaul who have won all of their games so far.

Gneeveguilla lead the way in Division 4 following their comprehensive victory over Ballylongford while Firies and Fossa, who defeated Skellig Rangers and Renard respectively, are in a four-way tie for second with Castlegregory and Tarbert.

A Tipperary woman is going to attempt to climb Carrauntoohil three times in one day to raise money for a sick child.

Nikita Conlon from Roscrea is a personal trainer and care assistant who has been working in health care for 18 years.

While working at the Milford Care Centre she met the family of Noah Quish. The six-year-old from Monaleen, Limerick was born with serious health issues ranging from a heart defect, severe laryngomalacia, severe sleep apnoea, scoliosis and chromosome deletion.

‘I worked in the Milford Care Centre for five years where I met Una Quish, Noah’s mam, so I felt the need to do something to help his family. I decided to set up this fundraiser.
“I plan to set off at midnight on Friday October 6, and hope to finish at 5 pm on Saturday.

“I have previously Climbed Kilimanjaro in February 2023 and raised over €6000 for the Dean Maxwell Nursing Home in Roscrea,” she said.

“My whole life I have felt the need to help others and now it’s time to help Noah and I need the support to help him.

“This challenge is not going to be easy but I am going to give it my all.

“I have experienced hikers coming along on the day.’

Her plan is to leave Cronin’s Yard at midnight and to return to the starting point at 4.30 am. She will restart at 5 am from the bottom of the Devil’s Ladder. By 10 am on Saturday she hopes to have started her third and final lap.
