Although defeat was our lot in our second game in the minor football Championship we once again put in a vert spirited performance against one of the Championship favourites, St Pats / Naomi Brid.
The winners led 1-3 to 0-1 at the end of the first quarter but a Conor Coward goal brought us back into the game and further scores by Tadhg Murray and Gabriel McGovern had the scores level nearing halftime.
However St Pays / Naomi Brid player Sean Condon scores 0-2 to leave his side in front at the break.
The winners showed their greater experience in the third quarter which at the end of they led by 1-10 to 1-4.
However the spirit of our group of players shone through again and a timely goal by David Flynn and a point by Conor Coward left just 0-2 the difference at 1-10 to 2-5 with time running out.
The winners secured their deserved win with a goal in added time by their captain Mikey O Brien.

Under 13 football
Our Under 13 Football Championship commenced last Sunday afternoon when we travelled down to Stradbally in our initial outing. It certainly was a case of March of many weathers as both teams had to endure severe wind and thankfully escaped a sleet shower at the end. We availed of the elements for the first half and took control with some well worked scores and two crucial goals from Zach Power and Eddie Burke enhanced our position at the half time break. Facing into the elements in the second half was to prove hard work as a resolute Stradbally team gave of their all to get back into the match. Thankfully our defence led in goal by Aaron Murray were able to withstand their attacks and keep them at bay. He was helped by a full back line of John Meehan, Darragh Murphy and Luke Irwin. A solid display from our half back line of Will Healy, Brandon Dillon and Adam Mulligan were the instigators of numerous attacks. Our midfield duo of James Maye and Billy Hickey put in the customary tireless day's work. The half forward line with the powerful Eddie Burke in the centre and flanked by some of our younger group in Oisin Hallahan and Pierce Quann again put in a great hour with Pierce's goal his highlight. The inside line of Jacob Dalton, Luke Power whose goal with his so called weak foot was excellent and Zach Power whose return to the field after sustaining a bad injury lat the end of last years campaign was most welcome were always a threat to the Stradbally defence.By full time we managed to hold on for our first victory in the campaign. There is no rest for us as next up on Thursday evening is our second game when our neighbours Ballinacourty make the trip up to Clogherane. The game has a throw in time of 6.30pm and your support would be greatly appreciated.
Under 16 Ladies Football
Our Under 16 Ladies Footballers had their first outing of 2019 when they travelled up to the Blackwater College field in Lismore to play Ballysaggart. Indeed we had the unusual sight of two ladies removing water from the goalmouth area prior to the match with paint buckets to ensure the match could take place.Their efforts were to be commended and later rewarded. Preparations for this game were somewhat curtailed due to the weather but we can be content with our performance and with a little bit more of football nous we can still play a part in this Championship. The result of the game somehow went the way of Ballysaggart so it’s onwards and upwards from here.
Team: Shannell Facey, Savannah Moore, Rachel Harty, Caoimhe Meehan, Lucy Ferncombe, Mischa Lyons, Kirsten Tutty Walsh, Maiyia Tobin, Kerry Dee,
Abi Power, Ava Tutty, Katelyn McGovern.
