U16 League
We play ‘Blayney this evening, Thursday at 7.15pm in Clontibret.
U14 Championship & League
We were beaten by a strong Emyvale team in the championship semi-final. This was a tough ask for the boys competing in Division 1 but credit to them for competing at this level. They followed this up with a much more spirited performance in the league at the weekend but in the end went down to a stronger Scotstown team. They fought determinedly and showed great character, despite missing a couple of players, one of whom was Darragh Hughes who was unlucky in the Emyvale game.
The Division 6 team also lost out narrowly to Clones in the league on Saturday despite competing well and giving a great account of themselves. The next game for the Division 6 team will be against Truagh on Saturday, 5th May in Truagh, while the Division 1 team have to wait until 19th May for their next outing, again against Emyvale.
U12 League
We play Magheracloone this Saturday in Magheracloone at 12pm. This is followed by a home game against Aughnamullen on Tuesday at 7pm.
