Junior B – The Bs defeated Truagh 4-08 to 1-06 last Saturday evening. On a chilly evening not suited for football they toiled in the first half before a late first half goal from Gerry Brady gave them a six point lead and the held Truagh off comfortably in the second half. Good performances came from Gerry Brady, Gareth Duffy and a new look Paddy Conlon. A busy period for the Bs continues tonight (Thursday) with a home fixture against Latton (8.00PM) and next Wednesday night they face Scotstown, again at home (7.00PM)
Junior C – The Junior Cs survived a fright before overcoming Killanny 2-08 to 0-12 on Sunday morning. They played really poorly in the first half and were indebted to Gerry Brady for 2 goals which saw them reach half time on level terms. A quick start to the second half saw them move two ahead but they switched off again and trailed by two points with 15 minutes left. Paddy Conlon then took over at midfield and four unanswered points from Paddy, Fergal Duffy, Jack Deasy and David McMahon saw them over the finishing line. This weekend they make the short trip to Blackhill on Friday evening (7.00PM).
