Reserves: A busy schedule of games for our reserve teams included two championship quarter-finals over the weekend. First up was an O’Duffy Cup clash with Clontibret on Friday. Points by Fionán Ó Gallchóir, Oisín Fagan, Cian Bradley, Eoin O’Hanlon and Dara Mullin had us level at half-time. A Niall Greenan goal and further scores from Shea Corrigan and Fionán had us narrowly ahead well into the second half, but Clontibret finished strongly to win by 3-12 to 1-16.

Team and scorers: Jason Allister; Max Mallen, Shane Moran, Ethan McCaffrey; Conor Devlin (Capt.), Jake McConnon, Oisín Fagan (0-1); Shea Corrigan (0-1), Daniel Alexis; Shane McGarry, Cian Bradley (0-1), Eoin O’Hanlon (0-2); Fionán Ó Gallchóir (0-7, 2f), Niall Greenan (1-2), Dara Mullin (0-2).

Sub used: Francis Lynch.

Our McKeown Cup team hosted Toome on Sunday. After trailing by five points at half-time, we worked our way back into contention, with Shane McGarry leading our nine scorers as we forced extra-time. A Cian Bradley goal edged us ahead, but Toome’s ability to hit the net proved decisive.

Team: Jason McHugh; Gregory O’Connell, Conor Farmer, Séadh Deeney; Ali Galligan, Conor Devlin, Zach Mallen; Mark Clerkin, Max Mallen (Capt.); Francis Lynch, Shane McGarry, Colm Shalvey; Shay Cooney, Evan Doherty, Niall Greenan.

Minors: The Minor Football Leagues are on an exam break until the end of June.

U-16: Our U-16 Division One team booked their place in the league semi-finals with a hard-earned draw away to Castleblayney last Thursday.
