Scotstown Notes
Junior Championship: In a dramatic game of football, Scotstown and Killanny have to do it all over again in this R1A of the Junior Championship. Scotstown made the perfect start to this championship match going 1-5 to 1pt up with 16mins gone in the match. Sean Mohan goal came in the 10th minute, however great first half points through Elliott Maguire, Paul Sherlock, Sean Mohan, Emmett McCrudden, Adrian Carbin & James Hamill gave Scotstown a strong first half performance, were we contested the high ball with good effect through Michael Mc Carville, Conor Caulfield & James Hamill and the strength of Donnacha Dolan in the full forward helped to create scores, while we led at the break by 1-7 to 4pts. It was a blistering start to the 2nd half, Paul Sherlock point, followed by an Elliott Maguire goal and a 35th minute point from Sean Mohan made the score 2-9 to 5pts. The remaining 25mins of the second half was all Killanny and their introduction of Andy Callan got them back into the game and soon the sides were level by the 51st minute. KIllanny went two in front in the closing stages and tried to increase this, only for an important interception from Jack McDevitt and his resulting clearance got Scotstown a free at the other end which Michael Mc Carville slotted over. Another pointed free from Sean Mohan ended the match all square. Team: Cian Mohan; Jack McDevitt; Matthew McCague; Ryan Caulfield; Emmett McCrudden (0-1); Shane Rice; Adrian Carbin (0-1); Conor Caulfield; James Hamill (0-1); Tom Moyna; Michael McCarville (0-1); Paul Sherlock (0-2); Elliott Maguire (1-2); Donnacha Dolan; Sean Mohan (1-3).

Scotstown led at the break by 2-5 to 8pts, first half goals from Kieran Hughes and Shane Carey carried them through with a 3pt advantage at half time. Our third goal at the early stages of the 2nd half through Nicholas Corrigan kept Scotstown at bay, while Magheracloone were piling on the pressure & Scotstown having the unfortunate of being reduced to 14 players in the early stages of 2nd half, they had to sustain Magheracloone fight back but in the end our seniors held on for a good win. Team: Rory Beggan; Mark Duffy, Peter O’Hara, William Carroll; Ciaran Treanor, James Turley, Mark Treanor; David McCague, Francis Caulfield; Kieran Hughes, Shane Carey, Eddie Beggan; Dermot McCrudden, Nicholas Corrigan, Brian McGinnity.

Castleblayney Notes
Mau Hanratty Golf Day – This Friday the 6th of June, sees the Faughs hold the second Mau Hanratty Golf Day. This event marks the memory of one of the Faughs greats and Castleblayney Golf Club favourites Maurice “Mau” Hanratty. The singles stableford event will no doubt be a full timesheet from early morning until late evening as all Golfers aim to win the Mau Hanratty Cup, which is kindly sponsored by the Hanratty family. Last August, a fellow Muckno Street native, Michael McHugh Junior coasted home with a great score, to be the first winner of the event and last year this proved to be one of the great events in both the Castleblayney GAA and Golf worlds. This year will be no different. Tee reservations are limited but for those of you who would like a time for the Mau Hanratty Gold Day please try www.concrawood.ie or contact the Golf Club office at Concra Wood on 042 9749485 Seniors –The Senior team continued their recent good run of form, with a hard earned one point win over Monaghan Harps last Saturday evening. The Faughs opened well with a good score from Aaron McNamara before the Harps replied with a couple of points. Mark Hanratty proved a good target man and the Blayney forwards used him well to keep the score board ticking over. Conor Goran scored a goal coming close to half time but the Faughs advantage quickly disappeared when Dean Fanning netted for the Harps. At Half time the Faughs led by a point 1-6 to 1-5. The early part of the second half saw the Harps in the ascendancy as they opened a three point gap only for Dermot Malone to score an opportunistic goal at the other end. The Faughs then started to play some of their best football with some lovely scores from Malone followed by Patrick Tavey edging the Green and Gold boys into a lead that they didn’t surrender. Best on the night for the Senior team were Brian McGuigan, Barry Hanratty, Mark Treanor and Mark Hanratty. Final Score Harps 1-12 Faughs 2-10. Our next game is a home game against Truagh on the Sunday 21st of June with a throw in time of 7pm. The reserve team – The lads have a home game this Wednesday against Tyholland at 8pm, before thy play in the next round of the O’Duffy Cup Championship against neighbours Cremartin, Saturday 7th June, St. Marys Park, throw in 7pm. Under 14 Boys – Saturday saw the Boys play a top of the table clash against Ballybay in St. Marys Park, the first quarter proved a tight affair with the young Faughs lads going in four points up. A very strong second quarter saw the Blayney lads add another four goals and five points to their tally, which give them a good lead which they never looked like surrendering. This was a much improved display from the Boys with good performance from every player on the panel. Final Score 7-18 Ballybay 1-9. This Thursday night see the team start in the Championship with a home game against Latton at 7.30pm. Can we ask as many supporters to come out and cheer on the team as this will be the lads first experience of playing in the Championship . Under 14 Girls – The girls travelled to Eire Og on Monday evening. After a shaky start the girls settled well and produced some good football, and with a couple of minutes to go the girls were right in the match but Eire Og just managed to get those couple of vital scores to run out winners. Final Score Eire Og 3-16 Faughs 3-10. Best on the day for the Faughs were Rachel Cannon in Goals, Aoibhean Fitzsimons, Shaunine Rice and Janine Mc Bennett.
