Austin Stacks Hurling and Football Club

North Kerry U13 Girls Blitz took place in John Mitchels last Saturday where we qualified from our group to play in the Trophy Semi Final V Listowel. Following a great game we found ourselves in the Final V Finuge/St Senans where we ran out comfortable winners. A great day, superbly organised and much enjoyed by this great group of girls who played their hearts out all day and were a credit to their club and families. Player of the Final went to Rachel Ryan while Laura Devane accepted the Winning Trophy dedicated to the late Sandra Keane . Special thanks to Austin Stacks U13 team management: Pat Reidy, Louis Begley and Joan Devane. Also a word of appreciation to our hard working Ladies Club Secretary, Maurice Mc Namara who was involved with organising the blitz - a job well done.  Here are a few photographs from the day:

South Kerry Junior Hurling League final: Kenmare 2-14; Austin Stacks 0-12.

The final of the South Kerry JH League played in ideal conditions in Lewis Road on this Wednesday evening (23rd July) ended in an eight points defeat for us, thereby relinquishing the title we won last season.  After a poor start we found ourselves behind by 1-4 to 0-1 after 12 minutes. But we had a very good 2nd quarter scoring six points without reply to level the game after 27 minutes (0-7 to 1-4). Paul Daly scored four of these (all from frees) to add to his opener, also from a free, in the 5th minute. Our other two points came from play, both brilliant efforts by Joe Brennan.

Austin Stack's own Brian Caball was interviewed in Knockmoyle on Monday afternoon on Radio Kerry's Talkabout programme by Aisling O'Brien as part of a promotion for Corcoran's Furniture - 'Corcoran's Couch Chat'. Brian is one of many unsung heroes of our club and has been PRO for our Juvenile Club & Scór officer for many years. Well Done, Brian!
