The big Tralee derby on Sunday morning had everything with two teams throwing everything into the game . Gintarus Paketarus gave Tralee Dynamos the lead , his strike with his left foot from the left corner of the 18 yard box rocketed into the far top corner for an outstanding finish . Tralee Dynamos doubled their lead just before the break when Jamie McIntyre took full advantage of some lose marking and drilled the ball home into the bottom corner from outside the penalty area . The Second half continued in the same fashion as the first with neither side holding back . Ferdia o Brien came of the bench for the Park and pulled a goal back when he was left unmarked at the back post . With twenty minutes remaining the game was all square after Con Barrett showed his experience when he calmly finished home in a crowded box from a Park corner kick . Neither side could find a winner but not without trying as neither seemed to be happy to settle for a point .
It remains three trams tied at the top of the table after the weekend when Castleisland Afc and Killarney Celtic finished score less . The game saw both defences and goalkeepers on top with neither side being able to grab the three points and go clear at the top of the division .
