The JJ Kavanagh senior football championship concluded the group stages this weekend with seven teams securing their places in the quarter finals. The Nire, Stradbally, Ballinacourty, Ardmore, Brickey Rangers, Gaultier and An Rinn have all qualified while Clashmore and Kilrossanty will clash next Saturday evening at Fraher Field to decide the remaining spot. Meanwhile, St Saviours, Ballinameela and Rathgormack will contest the relegation play offs.
On Saturday evening The Nire shook off Stradbally’s challenge in the second half to shade a low scoring contest. The champions could only register a single point in the second period after trailing 0-4 to 0-3 at half time. In the second game of the double bill at Fraher Field Ballinacourty made it three wins from three against Clashmore. At Leamybrien only ten scores were registered as Ardmore and St Saviours played out a disappointing stalemate.
At Kill a draw between Brickey Rangers and Gaultier suited both teams as it ensured their passage to the next stage. Ian Power fired the equalising goal for Gaultier in the dying minutes. An Rinn earned a valuable first win of the campaign as Liam O’Lionain and Cian O’Concubhair found the net in a five point win over Ballinameela. Kilrossanty also kept their championship hopes alive against Rathgormack with Joey Veale netting the vital goal that separated the teams at full time.
