Laune Rangers Junior A Championship came to a close on Sunday with defeat by Ballymacelligott in JP O’Sullivan Park.

Laune Rangers were defeated by John Mitchels on Tuesday evening in the Central Region Under 15 Division 1 Final.  Having built up an early lead playing excellent football, Laune Rangers saw a player receive a straight red card for a high tackle, with another brandished a black card a couple of minutes later.  With a two man advantage for the remainder of the first half, John Mitchels came back into the game and took a one point lead into Half Time.  Laune Rangers had the breeze behind them for the second half and battled away with 14 against 15.  An excellent performance saw them take a two point lead into injury time at the end of the game, but the defenders were flabbergasted to see a penalty awarded to John Mitchels.  The Tralee side slotted the spot kick and held on to win the game.  Full Time Score:- Laune Rangers 0-11, John Mitchels 1-9.
