Universal Graphics Junior Football Championship Round 2B

Oram 0-14 Scotstown 1-8

Oram kept their JFC hopes alive with a remarkable comeback to get the better of Scotstown in breezy conditions at Cloghan last Saturday night. Scotstown were eight points up after 20 minutes, but the tide gradually turned in a game that built to an exciting finish. After being held scoreless for almost the entire second half, Scotstown retook the lead late on, only to be denied by four fine scores in as many minutes from Oram, who now face Killeevan.

Pauric Graham (0-8) and Jason McDonald (0-4) accounted for all but two of Oram’s points, with John Mone and Christopher McGeough also to the fore and. Ruairí Sheehan, Ruairí McKenna and Kieran McGuirk best for Scotstown.
