Templenoe set up semi-final clash with Curraha

Templenoe (Kerry) 2-8 John Mitchels (Liverpool) 0-6: Killian Spillane hit 1-3 as Templenoe defeated British champions John Mitchels in yesterday’s All-Ireland Club JFC quarter-final at Páirc na hÉireann in Birmingham. 

Templenoe adapted well to the difficult conditions and they crafted a commanding lead by half-time thanks to a goal 10 minutes before the break when Danny Cahalane set up Spillane for a fine finish.

Templenoe had been building up a head of steam before Spillane’s goal, excellent points from Stephen O’Sullivan and Sean Sheehan intersected a couple of Spillane frees, while at the other end Mitchels could only register a solitary Paddy Mulligan point (1-5 to 0-1).
