‘We’re up and running’ declares Mark Bourke as Kerry LGFA get off the mark in Division 1 with win over Waterford

KERRY chief Mark Bourke was relieved the Kingdom got on the board by securing their first win of the Lidl NFL Division 1 campaign at SETU Arena.

Goals in either half from Niamh Ní Chonchúir and Siofra O’Shea saw the Kingdom bounce back from a first-round loss at holders Armagh.

Kingdom chief Bourke, who replaced Declan Quill and Darragh Long ahead of the new season, said: “Getting any points on the board in this division is a relief. We’re up and running.

“We lost our shape in the first half because of the wind and the team we were playing.

“In the second half, we committed to keeping four up. It opened up the game and we saw some gaps.”

Waterford manager and Kerry native Tomás Mac an tSaoir, whose side beat Kildare last time out, hailed the display of debut keeper Gemma Corcoran.

The 16-year-old is the first Ballysaggart player to line out for the Déise at senior level and capped her bow with a couple of great saves.

Former Kingdom netminder Mac an tSaoir said: “An outstanding performance for a girl of her age — her bravery to come out and block two shots in the second half when Kerry were getting a squeeze on.

“Her courage and her bravery, that’s what she’s been showing in training.

“She has a great future ahead of her.”

The Munster rivals were level four times before O’Shea’s punched effort on 45 minutes set the Kingdom on their way.

Kerry trailed 0-6 to 1-2 at the interval, with the goal arriving on six minutes when a point attempt by Ní Chonchúir dropped into the corner of the Déise net.

The Kingdom made a triple substitution at the break.

One of those arrivals, Danielle O’Leary, kicked them into the lead four minutes into the second period after Rachel Dwyer got the leveller.

On 40 minutes, O’Shea bravely punched the ball to the net just ahead of advancing Déise keeper Corcoran to make it 2-4 to 0-6. Ciara McCarthy added a point.

Emma Murray, Lauren McGregor and Brid McMaugh reduced the deficit to two and Corcoran made two stunning saves from O’Leary.

But a late point from captain Anna Galvin sealed victory for Kerry.

WATERFORD: G Corcoran; C Murray, R Casey, M Ryan; K McGrath, E Murray 0-2, Á O’Neill; E Power, H Power; B McMaugh 0-2, K Hogan 0-2f, K Murray; L McGregor 0-2f, C Walsh 0-1, C Fennell. Subs: A Power for Fennell 44 mins, L Ni Arta for Walsh 57.

KERRY: ME Bolger; R Smith, D Kearney, R Rahilly; A O’Connell, K Cronin, A Galvin 0-2; K Sugrue; A Dillane; N Carmody, C Evans, N Ní Chonchúir 1-0; S O’Shea 1-1, R Dwyer 0-1, K Brosnan. Subs: M O’Connell for Ní Chonchúir 23 mins, C McCarthy 0-1 for Sugrue h-t, E Lynch for Rahilly h-t, D O’Leary 0-1 for Brosnan h-t, J Lucey for Dwyer 40, L Boyle for Carmody 47, M Higgins for A O’Connell 57, N Quinn for Evans 58.

REFEREE: B Redmond (Wexford).

But it wasn’t Elma who viewers insisted has a problem with the Turkish actress.

Instead they think Danielle Sellers gave Ekin-Su a “dirty look” and took to social media to have their say.

One wrote: “Maybe it’s just the edit but I swear Danielle is always giving Ekin dirty looks and being cold towards her.”

Another said: “Danielle is so mad at Ekin for no damn reason.”

Someone else commented: “Danielle’s face screams jealous of Ekin-Su.”

And a fourth added: “Danielle hates Ekin and she’s not even hiding it.”

Ekin and Danielle were recently locked in a love triangle with Curtis Pritchard.

He and Ekin had been coupled up from the start but his head was turned when Danielle entered as a bombshell.

Despite leaving Ekin furious when he confessed to wanting to get to know Danielle, Curtis made up for it by sticking during the latest recoupling.

But last night fans also think Curtis revealed he has feelings for another one of the girls.

As Catherine Agbaje tried to get his pulse racing during the heart rate challenge, viewers insisted Curtis couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

One wrote: “I KNOW i did not just see curtis grab catherine’s bum.”

And another said: “Now why was Curtis looking Catherine in the eye like that.”

Samie, who made it to the final with Tom Clare on the 2023 series, poked fun at Casey O’Gorman‘s third attempt at the dating show.

At the time, Samie took to social media and shared a video when it was revealed that Casey was the latest All Stars bombshell.

She quipped: “Sorry I can’t help but laugh, the Lord Farquaad is back. Again.”

The reality star insisted the show was a “bit of a joke now”.

Samie added: “Haven’t we all had enough of Casey.

“I ‘think this show’s a bit of a joke at this point now. I have no words.”

The stunning brunette star shot to fame two years ago in 2023 when she starred in season nine as a bombshell.

Samie entered the villa on day 14 and placed third in the final on day 58 alongside then-boyfriend Tom Clare.

Revealing who she has set her sights on in the villa, Samie revealed that Brighton hunk Luca Bish is a bit of her.

When asked who she hopes to strike up a romance with, she replied: “Luca,” adding, “I feel like he’s very much a bit of me looks wise and watching him on this series, I like that he’s in touch with his emotional side.”

She went on: “He’s been the voice of reason throughout the whole Villa, I’m always saying ‘thank god someone said that…finally!’.”

Samie was then asked about how she would feel to step on Grace Jackson‘s toes – who Luca is coupled up with currently.

“Him and Grace look like they’re going fine, but you can’t believe everything you see,” Samie replied.

“The game is the game, this is what happens.

“If he does have a good thing with Grace and stays with her, then he wasn’t for me,” she said.

STEPPING ON GRACE’S TOES

“She’s a bombshell too so she gets it,” Samie went on, adding, “What will be will be.

“I’m not the deciding factor about it, it’ll be up to Luca at the end of the day.”

Also ahead of her villa stint, she was asked why she wanted to return to Love Island, to which Samie said that she hope’s “second time’s a charm”.

“I want to return because, who gets to do this twice?” she said of her All Stars stint.

“You think it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, so if you get offered to do it twice, you’ve got to do it again.

“We had such a good time last time, why not! My relationship didn’t work out so hopefully it’s second time’s a charm,” she added.

Love Island All Stars 2025 official line-up

Love Island All Stars is back on TV for season 2.

Here we take you through the line-up of all the Islanders who are in the villa so far.

Bombshells
