Following a lacklustre performance against Fossa and a well earned win over Firies, our u16s faced Glenflesk in the fourth round of the East Kerry League last Tuesday evening in Glenflesk at 7pm.

This much anticipated game very much lived up to expectations. Both teams were evenly matched and on a fine May evening for football gave the gathered spectators a close, hard fought and entertaining game.

The Crokes playing with the aid of the wind quickly raced into the lead  notching up a score of 1-2 without reply. Glenflesk under pressure began to settle into the game and converted some well worked scores.The first half proved to be very entertaining  and hard fought with the Crokes asserting their dominance from time to time and as the half time whistle blew, there was little separating the teams: The Crokes marginally ahead on a scoreline of 1-5 to 0-6.

The second half began at a blistering pace resulting in a well taken goal by the Crokes directly from the throw-in. This half was not for the faint hearted as the Crokes backs particularly the full back line withheld sustained Glenflesk pressure. A succession of well taken scores were swapped between both teams and at times individual contests boiled over on the pitch. Overall, this was a great team performance by our U16s and as the final whistle blew we finished with a well deserved win on a final scoreline of 2-11 to 1-10.

Well done lads
