Utility Trust St Paul’s will be seeking to maintain their perfect 100% record when they host the Marble City Hawks at the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre on Saturday. The game tips off at 7.30pm.

The Kilkenny outfit have endured a tough start to the 2023/24 National League season, losing four of their five matches, but they have some quality players including Briana Bailey, Faye McDonnell and Aoibhin Dunphy.

Paul’s will be favourites after their red-hot start to the new campaign. James Fleming’s side made it four wins from four with a comprehensive 37-point victory over the Limerick Sport Huskies in Limerick on Saturday last.

Fleming was able to give the returning Sofia Paska her second debut for the club and the returning All Star looked sharper than ever. Fellow new signing Khiarica Rasheed also excelled, hitting a game-high 27 points. Denise Dunlea and Lorraine Scanlon made impressive contributions, carrying on their form from recent matches with little fuss.

By game’s end St Pauls had built up a huge lead and they now find themselves top of the pile at this early stage of the season. 

ST PAUL’S TEAM v LIMERICK SPORT HUSKIES: Khiarica Rasheed 27, Sofia Paska 18, Lorraine Scanlon 16, Denise Dunlea 8, Rheanne O’Shea 8, Meabh Barry 6, Liadh Tobin 4, Leah McMahon 3, Lynn Jones 2, Mary Kate Smith 2, Cliona Coffey, Niamh Ní Chonchúir.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
