UNDER 12 PREMIER KILLARNEY Celtic lead the way here and picked up four points from their two games this week. They played Kingdom Boys on Tuesday night and won 21. Finbarr Murphy and Cathal O'Shea scored for Celtic. Then on Saturday they travelled to Listowel Celtic and were held to a 1-1 draw. Evan Cronin equalised after Listowel had gone ahead. Killarney Celtic are now on 19 points while Listowel Celtic stay third on 10 points.

Second placed Park kept the pressure on the Killarney side with a 3-2 win over Killarney Athletic, whose defeat has put them under pressure to stay with the three teams above them. James Duggan, Sean Fitzmaurice and Paudie Griffin were the Park's scorers which moves them onto 16 points.

DIVISION 1 TOP of the table Castleisland were held to a 1-1 draw against Ballyhar. Shane Loughlin scored for Castleisland with William Courtney gaining a good point for Ballyhar. This point sees the leaders move to 17 points.

Third faced second as Fenit welcomed Dingle Bay and it was the home side who took all three points through a Padraig O'Regan strike to close the gap on the sides above them. Fenit are now on 13 points with Dingle remaining on 15 points.

DIVISION 2 KINGDOM Boys lead the way in this Division and were too strong for Listowel Celtic winning 6-1. Mario Zige top scored with three, while Jamie Leen, Eoin Edwards and Dara Lowth scored the others. Indeed the influential Dara captained the side, not bad for a nine year old!

Mastergeeha made sure that it wouldn't become a one horse race as they got the three points, to keep the gap to six points, from their 5-0 win over Killarney Celtic B.

Aidan Kelly (2), Eoin Kennedy, Oscar O'Connor and Paul O'Connor were the Kilbrean side's scorers.
