Anthony Foley RIP:

It was with utter sadness that we learned of the death of Munster Head Coach and legendary no. 8, Anthony (Axel) Foley. The word ‘legend’ is often bandied about when describing sportspeople, however in rugby terms and particularly in Munster Rugby circles Axel was a true rugby legend. For those of us lucky enough to follow Munster over the years, nothing comes close to the occasion at the millenuim Stadium in Cardiff, when Foley captained Munster to their first ever Heineken Cup win. He will remain forever in our hearts for this alone. Add to this his 202 caps with Munster and 62 caps with Ireland, he was a true rugby stalwart. An excellent coach, Axel will be missed by all involved in Munster Rugby and Killarney RFC would like to offer our condolences to his wife, two sons, family and wide circle of firends. Ar dheis De go raibh a h-anam Dilis.

Minis:

Killarney RFC Minis held a very successful registration day at Aghadoe during the minis training session Saturday morning. As an added treat, buns, croissants and baked goodies were given out along with teas and coffees in the clubhouse. The baked goods, from Petite Delice in Killarney, went down very well with all parents and kids! The minis continue to train at Aghadoe every saturday morning between 10:30am and 12 midday and our first blitz takes place on Sat the 29th in Listowel. Details to follow.

Youths:

U14s:

Our u14s traveled to O’Dowd Park in Tralee in the league. Another fantastic result for our U14s as they demolished the home side on a scoreline of 37 points to nil, with tries coming from Padraic Talbot, Liam Randles, Tomas Clifford, Peter walsh and Bailey O’Sullivan. Conversions were slotted home by budding outhalf Donncha Greally. Coaches John O’Connell, Seamus Greally, Eoin Seery and Paul O’Sullivan are doing sterling work with the lads and next up it’s a visit from Abbeyfeale at home next Saturday.

U16s:

Killarney RFC Under 16s hosted Charleville, on Saturday 15th October. With several players returning to the squad, the team was much more balanced for this game and the players knew only too well the task facing them. As seems to be customery Killarney leaked an early &  debatable try which, Charleville converted. Krystian Komosa, pounced on a loose ball – not dealt with by Charleville, from a missed penalty kick, to score a try which was unconverted. Almost immediately from the restart, Komosa scored again by barging through three defenders out wide, to touch down, converted by Cian Murphy. Komosa scored his third of the day, again out wide, half way through the second half, converted by Christopher Carey. With about three minutes remaining Killarney were awarded a penalty on the `22, which was kicked through the posts, just to ensure the much sought after win. Final score 22-7. Well done to the entire team lead by Richard Wallace, and well done to the younger boys who are really stepping up to the mark.

U18s:

Our u18s travelled to Charleville in the league and had a tough day at the office, losing on a scoreline of 22 points to 7. Next weekend they host Kanturk at Aghadoe.
