All-Ireland Series: There were mixed fortunes for the county teams at the weekend as the Seniors were beaten by Tyrone, and the Minors were victorious against Tipperary in their respective Quarter-Finals. Darren Hughes, Kieran Hughes and Rory Beggan were in action for the Seniors, whilst Conor Forde and Conor McCarthy played on the winning Minor side. The Minors will now face Mayo in the All-Ireland Semi-Final.
Seniors: The Seniors were in League action on Tuesday evening at home to Latton, earning a 0-12 to 0-12 draw to keep them top of the table. Scotstown team and scorers: Cian Mohan (0-1); Ross McKenna, Ciaran Treanor, Eddie Beggan; Damien McArdle (0-1), Pauric Keenan, Emmet Caulfield (0-4); David McCague, Frank Caulfield; Paul Grant (0-3), Brian McGinnity, Orin Heaphey (0-1); Elliot Maguire (0-1), Dermot McCrudden, Seán Mohan. Substitutes used: James Hamill (0-1), Peter O’Hara, Shane Rice. The Seniors are at home to Magheracloone this Sunday in the League at 12:30pm, and face the same opposition in the Senior Championship on August 18th.
Reserves: Scotstown collected the Reserve Football League Division 1A crown with a stirring second-half performance against Clontibret on Friday last. The Blues trailed by five points at half-time, and their hopes were dealt a further blow when they were reduced to fourteen men at the beginning of the second half. The sending-off galvanised Scotstown however, and they took control of the game to finish with a 1-13 to 3-5 victory. Scotstown team and scorers: Cian Mohan; David Caulfield, Ciaran Treanor, Barry McMeel; Emmet Caulfield, Ross McKenna, Paul Sherlock; David McCague (captain), Paul Grant (0-6); Shane Rice, James Hamill (0-1), Tommy Moyna; Elliot Maguire (1-2), Dermot McCrudden (0-1), Seán Mohan (0-2). Substitutes used: Brian McGinnity (0-1), Damien McArdle, Pauric Keenan, Adrian Carbin. Congratulations to all involved including the management team of Ben Beggan, Brendan McCaffrey, Paul Carey and John Morgan.
