Terrys Butchers Shop North Kerry Ladies Football U14 Div Abbeydorney FT
6-12 (30) v Austin Stacks 7-09 (30)
The final group game didn’t disappoint as the Austin Stacks U14 girls travelled to Abbeydorney for a thrilling encounter that had everything – goals, grit, and a race against fading light.
Stacks came out flying, tackling tenaciously, linking up brilliantly and taking some fine scores, but Abbeydorney kept in touch with sharp finishing of their own. At the break, it was Stacks who held the edge: Abbeydorney 2-4 ; Austin Stacks 5-3.
The second half was a proper battle, end-to-end stuff with both teams giving it everything. Abbeydorney found another gear late on and edged ahead by three, but the Stacks girls weren’t ready to pack it in.
With the light fading fast, they dug deep, turned over possession, and worked a brilliant team goal to level it up.
This was a performance full of heart, grit, and no shortage of drama. Since the beginning of this competition, the Stacks girls have improved game after game, the coaches could not have asked for more and are extremely proud of the effort shown by each and everyone one of the girls tonight.
Well done to both teams for a cracking contest.
This was our final group game, we await the results of other games to determine where we finish in the table, and who our opposition will be in either the Shield or Plate final.
