The Rhyno Quality Feeds Co.League commences this Valentines weekend but with titles at stake & relegation & promotion to play for , will there be love in the air???
Most games takes place on Sunday 15th Feb at 12 noon unless otherwise stated.
In Division 1 newly promoted Rathmore are home to experienced side Laune Rangers. The Killorglin side will overall be disappointed with how the 2014 season went for them & will also be without the services of Sarah Jane Joy as she battles a knee injury. However with a new season approaching players will want to be back on top. Expect a tight contest & perhaps game of the weekend but with experience of county players Sarah Houlihan & Bernie Breen just plumping for an away win.
Scartaglin play host to Castleisland Desmonds at 1.30 in a local derby. Desmonds are without the services of Aoife Lyons due to work commitments, but with depth of talent available to them they will be hoping to start 2015 as they finished 2014 on a winning note. The final game of the weekend in Division 1 sees Inbhear Sceine Gaels travel to Derrynane to take on Southern Gaels at 12.30. Southern Gaels defeated in last year’s final will want to go one better & win the title but to do that they will need to reach the final. With players returning from injury & a settled side would expect them to be too strong for ISG.
In Div 2 defeated finalists Na Gaeil are home to Corca Dhuibhne at 11.30. Very close game too close to call. Also in Div 2 is the battle of the Black & Amber as Listowel v Austin Stacks on Saturday at 4.15 due to Austin Stacks men in action on Sunday. Both clubs had difficult league campaigns but will be hoping that new season brings new fortune. Difficult game to call. Finally Finuge/St.Senans host newly promoted Dr. Crokes in Finuge. Expect the North Kerry side to just about shade as more experience but the Killarney side are on the up & could be in the shake up as the season progresses.
In Div 3 Currow v John Mitchels 11am is the sole fixture. Expect the Tralee side to win this fixture as they have title ambitions in their sights.
In Div 4 Glenflesk travel to Fossa. Both teams are very young but Fossa who have been building well at underage will be little too strong for the travelling side.
