 The Kingdom: Soccer: Dynamos make it through to the last 32   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
This means that Dynamos, who were beaten at the same stage last year by the eventual winners Westport United, have managed to go a round further and considering their crippling injury list, this is a fair achievement for one of Kerry’s leading sides.
After the early exchanges it was obvious that Rathkeale were going to move to the half way line at every opportunity and they kept catching the Dynamos front men off side which was infuriating the visitors.
It was all Dynamos in the second half and they doubled their lead in the 65th minute when Shane Carroll latched onto a back heel from Kerins and having taken the ball round the keeper he squared for winger Paul Daly to make it 2-0.

It was very touching to be told by long-suffering members of the Rathkeale settled community that they felt extremely sorry for the predicament of the people of Cottenham, particularly as we have only had a very brief taste of what they have had to endure for 30 years.

It was a comprehensive win for the Tralee side as they looked to be in danger of defeat against a Rathkeale side who mainly concentrated on the long ball to their tall centre-forward, but Damien Murphy was alive to the danger and he dominated his man throughout.
Dynamos played their usual passing game and this caused the Rathkeale defence lots of problems as Samier and Eoin Cassidy dominated the middle and Kevin Lucey and Kieran Reid were able to get inside the Rathkeale defence with regularity.
In the 60th minute a corner broke in the Rathkeale box and Maurice O’Rahilly blasted the ball towards the net but it was cleared of the line.

It was not a second half for the purist as exchanges became very tough and, it has to be said that the match official was rather benign in only sending off one Rathkeale player late on as some of the tackling was both late and dangerous.
Scoring was at a premium with Rathkeale kicking too many wides in that torrid period while Gaelcholáiste lost their way and were forced to defend for long spells.
Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí led 1-8 to 0-3 at the interval but Rathkeale fought back in the second half with Shane McCarthy threatened to close the gap but he was denied by a combination of excellent defending by Tadgh Landers and Niall McAuliffe and a couple of outstanding saves by Scollard.
