Everyone played great and put into practice what their coaches have worked on over the past weeks. The result of these mini matches were, happy faces on healthy positive children.

U-12’s
In warm playing conditions our U12’s tasted defeat in the division one shield final against a very well organized and talented Monaghan Harps team. Although the first half was an even affair with the Mitchells matching their opponents admirably they still found themselves trailing by three points at half time. In the second half the Harps proved to be formidable opponents. Our young Mitchells dug deep with great determination but it was Monaghan Harps who showed their mettle and crucial goals were enough to secure the win for Harps. Well done to the entire U12 panel and managers Francie Jones, Raymond Farrelly and Gary Byrne for a fantastic effort throughout the year.
Final score Magheracloone 3-9 Monaghan Harps 6-7

Senior Championship
Inniskeen were the opponents in Doohamlet on Sunday last in the back door clash of the Senior Championship. The Mitchells set the pace with Peter Tuite scoring a point from play inside the first minute. In the twelfth minute the game could have taken a different path as Inniskeen were denied a goal when David Kirk made a crucial save. Inniskeen kept in touch throughout the first half with points from Donal & Paul Meegan leaving the halftime score Inniskeen 0-5 Magheracloone 0-7. A disappointing start to the second half when just three minutes in we lost Ronan Freeman who was shown a black card for a needless foul on young Colm Meegan. Ronan was replaced by the very competent Paudie Mc Mahon who within minutes had his name on the scoresheet. A goal from Allan Kieran midway through the second half put the Mitchells a comfortable nine points up. With just seven minutes remaining Magheracloone were dealt a severe blow when star player Thomas Freeman got a red card. Freeman who has been in sparking form this year had nailed six points before being sent off.
Final Score Magheracloone 1-14 Inniskeen 0-9.
