ST JOSEPH’S BOYS – Hard luck to our U13’s who lost out in the Div 2 final replay on Friday evening last in Cloone. St Brigids 1-14, St Joseph’s 2-6.  Our lads gave it their all but unfortunately, we went down to our opponents who found it a little bit easier to score.  We were trailing by 6 points to 3 at half time, we came out in the second half with a lot of work to do, an early goal and a point put us in front for a while but St Brigids kept the scoreboard moving with some nice points. As was normal for our lads, they never gave up and scored another goal with 10 minutes to play but we just could not follow it up with more scores to get in front again.  Well done to both teams for two games of enjoyable football and we might meet again later in the year in the championship.  Many thanks to the management team of Dan O’Brien, Charlie McCabe and Michael Lee for their work with this team over the last number of weeks.  Championship action will likely commence in June.  Our panel of plays for the league were Gavin Gallogly, Conor Downes, Eanna McNamara, Bradley Cowdell, Jack McIntyre, Charlie Kearney, Andrew Lee, Matthew McCabe, Cian Nolan, Joey McBrien, Thomas O’Brien, Conor Shortt, Dessie O’Kelly, Charlie Wilson, Conor McLoughlin, Dermot Tierney, Darragh Gormley, Jack McManus, Jamie Stoddart, Naoise Feeney, Mark McDermott, James Kilkenny, Calvin Reynolds, Fiachra McHugh, and Lucas Kotterman.

U15’s had their second league game on Thursday evening last v Gortletteragh, after an exciting hour of end to end football we lost out by a couple of points.  Well done lads for battling hard to the end, keep up the good work.  Our next game is in Ballinamore v MacDiarmada Gaels on Thursday evening.
