Kiskeam GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the village of Kiskeam in the northwest of County Cork, Ireland which is in the parish of Boherbue. The club plays Gaelic football in the Duhallow division of Cork GAA and their first team competes in the Cork Senior Football Championship.
At Páirc Uí Rinn, two first-quarter goals by David Scannell and Tomás Dennehy were effectively the difference between the sides, with Fermoy never coming closer than two points thereafter. The massed ranks of white shirts – Kiskeam’s alternative, with both forced to switch from black – proved difficult for the North Cork side to plot a path through, but even when they did they found goalkeeper Anthony Casey in irrepressible form. Scannell, Gene Casey and Tom O’Sullivan kicked some wonderful points, especially in the second half, when Fermoy’s hopes would get a boost only for the momentum to be quelled each time. The goals, in the 11th and 13th minutes, were hammer blows to Fermoy – defeated in the Premier IHC final by Bandon a fortnight previously – who had elected to play with the wind after winning the toss.
Kiskeam made light of the perceived disadvantage and were three to the good as Michael Casey opened the scoring before two by Gene Casey.
Though a good Ronan O’Callaghan point got Fermoy off the mark and Ruairí O’Hagan added a free, they were rocked as Kiskeam got in for their first goal.
Gene Casey fed the ball wide to Scannell, whose superb handpass for Michael Herlihy allowed him to drive at the Fermoy defence.
While he was doing that, Scannell was making up ground towards the middle and, when Herlihy showed good awareness to square the ball, the corner-forward had a tap-in.
