West Munster U15 Play-Offs Round 1 - Tralee 7 - Killarney 0
Tralee’s Richard White who has been youth officer for many years remarked after the final whistle that he hasn’t seen such a tight game in Tralee in a long, long time. There was absolutely nothing between these two teams. Next up for Killarney is a home tie against Castleisland. Killarney lost to Castleisland by a score earlier this season and will want to correct that when they meet on February 11th in Dirreen. All support for this fixture will be very welcome and another entertainment filled game is guaranteed.
Mini Rugby - Training as usual at Knockreer at 10.30am to 12 noon. Last weekend festivals were cancelled due to bad weather. For any details contact Tom Campbell on 087 240 4262. Never too late to join up.
Senior 2nd V Clonakilty - cancelled due to weather.
Fixtures: Saturday 4th February U14s V Killorglin - venue to be confirmed. Details from Fergus Cronin 087 687 0929. U17s away to Bruff - Bus leaves High Street at 9am. Contact Feargal Courtney on 087 617 7825.
Sunday 5th February - Killarney Senior 2nd XV at home V Bandon in Mick Barry Cup Group A - 2.30pm at Dirreen. Support welcome.
Best of luck to Ireland V Wales in the opening encounter of their 6 Nations campaign. Being at home gives some advantage but the Welsh tend to like coming to Dublin and there’ll be plenty of pay-back for the World Cup clash when Ireland left it at the hotel car park! Come on Paulie and the boys!

This year Kinetica Sports are the overall sponsors of the event which adds to the already high standard of the event. This year will see five events taking place across Munster with MBCC the hosts of Round 1 on Sunday.
It was a typical January day in Cork with cool temperatures and a good serving of rain to create some difficult muddy and slippery conditions for the riders. John Crowley was best for the Killarney riders in the Elites coming in 8th position in a time of 1hr 10mins. In the Sports Jason Murphy came in 3rd place in a time of 44min 19sec.
Race of the day goes to our U/16 lads who collected an impressive 1-2-3 in their category with Steven Doherty securing his first win of the season, our U/14 rider Nelu Doherty who moved up a level for this race came in 2nd place and Cathal Dineen arrived in a minute later for 3rd place. It’s good to see the winter training has paid off.
In the U/12 our young heroes weathered the conditions well and Jack Murphy came in 2nd place.
The next race will be this Sunday the 5th February in Corrin Woods, Cork. We hope to have all of you there again and possibly a few more. For more information on the series go to www.munsterxc.com
