U-10’s

Our U10’s attended a blitz and family fun day in Cloghan. There was a great turnout of Magheracloone players and teams from all over the county. The boys and girls were split into two teams. The A team played in the Cup and the B team played in the Shield. The boys and girls never let the bad weather disturb their football skills they held their ground well and played very good football. However the blitz ended early because of the torrential rain and the A team having reached the Cup final didn’t get to play the final. Both team enjoyed three full matches and they can all be proud of themselves, each player contributed to a very good team performance. Thank you to Cloghan for organizing the event and for the use of their facilities, thanks also to the young referees, all our coaches, parents who travelled and to the county players who came to meet our little stars of the future.

Senior League

The Senior League continued on Wednesday last when the team travelled to take on Clontibret. It was Clontibret who opened the scoring with a goal and a point inside the first six minutes, however the Mitchells worked well and top notch points from Thomas Freeman and Michael Metzger left the halftime score Magheracloone 0-4 Clontibret 1-3. The second half started at a blistering pace with both teams eager to show who was boss, again Clontibret registered the first score but this was answered by young Padraig Mc Mahon who ran the field weaving through the Clontibret players and buried the ball in the back of the net. This exceptional goal surely inspired the team to drive on. Points from Padraig Mc Mahon, James Lambe, Thomas Freeman, James Ward & Allan Mc Cahey put Magheracloone two points ahead with fifteen minutes remaining. Conor Mc Manus appeared on the side-line warming up and was quickly introduced to try and upset the Mitchells lead. It was indeed the great Mc Manus who scored the equaliser, followed by a Dessie Mone special to put Clontibret back in the driving seat by a single point with just 6 minutes remaining. The Mitchell backs stayed firm and began to pile on the pressure, the entire team working the ball back towards the Clontibret goals, with the referee looking at his watch and on the stroke of full time it was James Ward who miraculously managed to score the insurance point earning the Mitchells a well-deserved share of the points on offer. It must be mentioned that Jack Kirk stepped up to the challenge of senior goalkeeper extremely well and pulled off some fine saves throughout the match, well done Jack! Final score Magheracloone 1-11 Clontibret 1-11

With the Monaghan Harps match postponed the next senior league match is currently fixed for Sunday 14th June when we face Latton in a home match at 4pm.
