U-16: Our U-16 Division One team fell just short in their championship semi-final at home to Truagh last Monday night. On an extremely difficult night for football, a goal from Séadanta Ó Grianna and two points by Cónall McGinnity kept our lads in touch in a first half that ended with the minimum between the teams at 1-2 to 0-6. As the rain hammered down, the game remained tight throughout the second half, with Kyron Coughlan, Liam Ginley, Tiernan Loughran, Séadanta and Cónall on target as our lads remained in the contest, only to lose out by a single point: 1-9 to 0-13.

Minors: Our minors exited the championship with a loss away to Tyholland last Saturday. Scores by Lewis Duffy, Conor Farmer and Alex Flynn kept us in touch during the first half, but Tyholland led by 0-10 to 0-4 at the interval. Lewis landed a couple of excellent two-pointers, but Tyholland’s goal-scoring saw them put the game beyond our reach. Thanks to our players and management for their efforts throughout the season.
