Heartbroken Kerry boss Quillinan sore over late 'no-brainer' free

A 'no-brainer' of a free was Kerry boss Wayne Quillinan's verdict on the series of late challenges Ben Kelliher was subjected to that brought about no equalising placed-ball attempt. The four allotted minutes of injury-time had come and gone when Kelliher was fed in the left corner. Elliott Kerr was first to tackle him, the Tyrone corner-back approaching from behind and wrapping both hands around the Kerry corner-forward. Kelliher broke free, Kerr and centre-back James Daly both then tackling him, with Daly's left hand firmly pressed on Kelliher's back as he attempted to dispossess him with the right hand. Kelliher wound up on the deck, no whistle sounded, and Tyrone were crowned champions. 'The penalty for Tyrone, I didn't quite see it rightly but, if I say what I feel, I will probably get reprimanded. I thought the free at the end was a no-brainer,' said a devastated Quillinan. 'I mean, that wasn't a hard decision at all but, unfortunately, the ref didn't blow the whistle, and we suffer the consequences now from it. Not just both teams, I would say all the supporters would have loved extra-time, and that's the beauty of minor football.' Quillinan's post-match thoughts - the aforementioned end-game aside - took in the bigger picture. He poured praise on his young troops and poured praise on all those that packed in behind them on the run-in to the county's first minor final appearance in four years. 'They've shown every characteristic you want from a young team; never-say-die attitude, never quitting, never letting up no matter what situation they're in. 'The last week in Kerry has been unbelievable, with the seniors starting it off, and just the support we got, the amount of messages, so much goodwill. We just got to realise in Kerry that we are stronger together. Everyone rowing in together and rowing in at Croke Park next Saturday for the seniors. Those minors showed everything that Kerry is about. 'I am absolutely heartbroken. But on the flipside, I am so proud of them. Those guys left it all out there. How can you complain about that? You just can't.' The bigger picture was taken in too by victorious Tyrone manager Gerard Donnelly. This victory stood not in isolation. It stood instead amid a deluge of underage success. Over the past four seasons, Tyrone have won a minor All-Ireland, three U20 All-Irelands, and back-to-back Hogan Cups through Omagh CBS. A remarkable return in such a short period. 'Clubs, schools, development squads; it's all flying. Long may it continue,' said Donnelly. 'Absolutely, no doubt about it [we're going to see a lot of these lads progress to senior], these games are something else. They're special. The only sad thing for us is that the season is over. 'That Kerry team is unbelievable. Wayne Quillinan is an unbelievable man, an unbelievable manager, and a great friend. I feel for him because I was there four years ago, beaten by a point in an All-Ireland final. And it's not that easy getting back, but I know Wayne and I know the way Kerry operate - he'll be back and he'll win his All-Ireland.' The achievement of Donnelly and crew was heightened by the absence of Joel Kerr. The multi-code talent took up a professional contract with Premier League club West Ham earlier this week. Kerr's value to the Tyrone set-up is reflected in his Ulster final man of the match performance, his vital green flag in the semis win over Roscommon, and the 2-13 total he contributed before having to bow out six days before the decider. 'We knew that from July 1 he was a West Ham player. Me and his father had constant chats. Joel is a West Ham player, he's away now starting his career. I just chatted to him there. He's the happiest man going,' Donnelly concluded.

Kerry back in All-Ireland minor football final, Tyrone earn impressive win over Roscommon

KERRY ARE back in the All-Ireland minor football final for the first time since their five-in-a-row golden era in the middle of the last decade, but the Kingdom will have it all to do when they take on a Tyrone side that registered yet another impressive victory, sweeping aside an unbeaten Roscommon team by 2-12 to 1-8 at Kingspan Breffni. Despite some heavy rain showers at the Cavan venue in the first half, these two sides produced some excellent football, with Roscommon taking a three-point lead after a superb goal from Seamus Hussey in the 25th minute. With the diagonal breeze set to favour the Connacht champions after the break, hopes were high among the large travelling contingent that they might be poised to reach a first final since 2006, and to potentially extend their record as the only team with a perfect record in finals (4-0). But two goals within 90 seconds just before the interval from Joel Kerr and Peter Colton flipped the script, leaving Tyrone 2-6 to 1-5 in front at the turnaround. That allowed Tyrone to use their physical power and defensive superiority to squeeze the life out of Roscommon in the second half. Advertisement The Rossies were energised when, with regular 'keeper Cian Trimble off the field on a black card, attacker Dean Casey stepped into the posts to save a Joel Kerr penalty, and points from Luke Shally and Christopher Feerick in the immediate aftermath reduced the gap to four points. Eoin Long, Thomas Meenan and Cathal Farley kicked the points to see Tyrone home, however. There was much more drama in Ennis, where a late, late two-pointer from Ben Kelliher clinched a 1-19 to 3-10 win for Kerry over Mayo. Mayo welcomed back midfielder Cian May to their side after he missed their quarter-final win over Offaly, and he proved his worth with an excellent run and finish for an early goal. Mayo still led by the minimum at half-time after Maidhc Ó Sé's goal was cancelled out by a Dara Flanagan penalty. Early two pointers from Kelliher and Kevin Griffin (two) after half-time pushed the Kingdom five points clear, but Mayo had another surge, and an Oran Murphy goal in between a run of three points in succession put their noses back in front. Ben Holmes looked like he might have kicked the winner for the Westerners in the first minute of stoppage time, but Kerry found the finish they needed through Gearód White, Nick Lacey and Kelliher to snatch their win, ending a run of four years in a row without a Munster team in the decider.

Monmouth County ‘Conservative Republicans' challenge the establishment in GOP primary

FREEHOLD — A pair of self-identified 'Monmouth County Conservative Republicans' are running against the GOP establishment for their party's nominations, to run this year for county clerk and a seat on the Board of Commissioners, in Tuesday's primary election. Monmouth County Commissioners Thomas A. Arnone and Dominick 'Nick' DiRocco, who have the support of the county GOP organization to seek re-election, are being challenged in their bids by Mary Katie Kelliher. Kelliher is hoping to replace one of the the incumbents in the June 10 contest. Arnone is also the director of the board. Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon, who also has the support of the county GOP leadership, is being challenged for the party's nomination to her office by Danielle Bellomo, on the conservative ticket. The incumbents are running on a record that they say has resulted in sound economic stewardship, which includes the county's AAA bond rating and a reduction in the size of the county workforce while expanding services. The challengers argue that the incumbents have lost touch with ordinary Republican voters. They have said they want more fiscal discipline, more transparency in county government and would offer new perspectives and fresh ideas in county government. Hanlon, 57, was a lawyer before she was first elected county clerk in 2015. She is seeking a third, five-year term this year. She, her husband and four children live in Ocean Township. Bellomo, 38, a Marlboro Board of Education member, left a career as a marketing manager to focus full-time on her family, which includes her husband and three children. Arnone, 62, is a vice president with PRC Group in Red Bank, a commercial and residential real estate developer, and property and construction management company. First elected in 2010, he's continuously served as director of the Board of Commissioners since 2018. He and his wife live in Neptune City, where he was mayor from 2004 to 2010. They have one daughter. DiRocco, 50, is seeking a third, three-year term. A vice president at South Jersey Industries, an energy infrastructure holding company headquartered in Folsom, he is a former Wall mayor who served on the Township Committee from 2014 to 2019. A lawyer, he was also a deputy chief of staff to former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman. He and his wife have three daughters. Kelliher, 47, of Freehold Township, has been a local real estate agent for 25 years and is a licensed special/general education teacher. She and her husband have three children. For the first time this June, registered Republican voters in New Jersey will go to the polls in a primary in which there are no so-called county lines. Democratic voters did so for the first time last June.

Divers search for kayaker on Castaic Lake after two flip over

A search-and-rescue mission is underway on Castaic Lake, where two kayakers flipped over on Sunday afternoon. One of the kayakers, a woman, was rescued with no injuries. The other, a man, is still missing and presumed to have drowned, according to L.A. County Fire Capt. Sheila Kelliher. The incident occurred on the first day of the three-month summer period when officials say drownings in the state spike. The Fire Department arrived shortly before 1 p.m. in answer to a call about a kayaking accident. At the time of publication, divers were still searching the middle of the lake. The identities of the two kayakers aren't currently available. Kelliher could not confirm if either of the kayakers were wearing life jackets, but according to the Santa Clarita Valley Signal, which cited radio dispatch traffic, the rescued kayaker was wearing a life jacket, and the missing kayaker was not. Set among the Sierra Pelona Mountains in northwest L.A. County, Castaic Lake serves as the largest state project reservoir in Southern California. About 400 Californians die of drowning each year, according to the state Water Safety Coalition, with nearly half of all those occurring in the summer months of June, July and August. Parks officials urge the use of life jackets for all those in canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards or any other human-powered vessel.
