Doohamlet G.F.C. Results: Our U-17 team played Rockcorry on Friday the 18th of August in St. Mary’s Park Castleblayney in the Final of the Foxhound Travel U-17 Division 3B League Cup Final.  There was great support for both teams in what were terrible playing conditions with heavy rain and wind.  It was Rockcorry who opened up the scoring with three points in succession however a well-taken point from Vinnie Mc Manus puts Doohamlet on the scoreboard, minutes later Doohamlet was awarded a penalty and Mattie Duffy confidently steps up to the mark and strikes the back of the net, putting Doohamlet ahead by a point.  Our keeper Jamie Casey makes a great save, however, Rockcorry scores a further three points to take them ahead once again.  Mattie Duffy converts a free for Doohamlet but a goal on the other side sees us trail at half-time by four points with the score at half-time Doohamlet 1-2 Rockcorry 1-6.  Rockcorry opens the scoring in the second half with two points in succession.  Doohamlet is awarded their second penalty and Mattie Duffy converts his second of the day bringing just three points between the sides, Cian Mc Kenna hits a point for Doohamlet and in the thirty-first minute, he scores his second point of the evening leaving only a point between the sides.  Doohamlet pushed hard in the dying minutes to secure a score and came close on a couple of occasions but in such wet conditions and time running out, they came away defeated by a point.  The final score of the evening was Doohamlet 2-4 Rockcorry 1-8.  A huge congratulations to the team on putting on a good performance in such wet conditions and well done to the management on bringing them to the final.  Congratulations to Rockcorry on their win.  Team: Jamie Casey (Captain), Danny Mc Manus, Pádraig Duffy, Tim Byrne, Fionán Markey, Daniel Coleman, Mattie Duffy (2-1) Donnchádh Smyth, Ryan Ward, Nathan Smyth, Daragh Mc Bride, Vinnie Mc Manus (0-1) Cian Mc Kenna (0-2) Hayden O Neill, Ciarán Carragher, Phillip Ryan, Evan Nidesh, Ben Mc Garrell.
