CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND UP
SENIOR
Donaghmoyne 0-15 Emyvale 0-5
Donaghmoyne proved why they are senior champions with an impressive display over Emyvale. Both teams knew going into the game that they are already in the final,but Donaghmoyne played this game as if it were the final and were worthy winners in the end. Emyale went into the game short a few of their regular starters but they never really played the football we know they are capable of. With the final in 6 weeks time, both teams will be quietly working away in preparation for what should be a mouthwatering final.

INTERMEDIATE Aghabog 2-10 Scotstown 1-11
Scotstown and Aghabog served up a very entertaining game of football in this the first intermediate championship game. Both teams were short a few regulars going into this game but they were very evenly matched and the game was a very close and exciting affair.
The first half was a really close affair with Ellen Mc Carron and Brigeen Tierney finding the net for Aghabog and Pamela Carey likewise for Scotstown. It was nip and tuck during the first half with the sides all square at half time Scotstown 1-6 Aghabog 2-3 . In defence Lisa Treanor was excellent for Scotstown as was Abbey Mc Carey. Orla King was also excellent in defence for Aghabog. Up front Ellen Mc Carron and Laura Boylan were causing problems but Scotstown’s defence held out strong.
Like the first half the second half was action packed with both teams driving forward. Once again excellent defending by Lisa Treanor kept Aghabog at bay but in the end their experience carried them through with Ellen Mc Carron, Laura Boylan and Rachel Boylan all playing a key role.

Sean Mc Dermotts V Donaghmoyne
Donaghmoyne B secured a place in the junior semi-finals with a win over Sean Mc Dermotts in Threemilehouse on Friday night last.
Both teams had one win each under their belts going into this game so it was winner take all.
With both teams defending well it took all of five minutes for the first score of the game from the lively youngster Niamh Callan who goaled for Donaghmoyne.
This was followed up by a point from Edel Keenan.
Sean’s then got their first score on the board with a point from Cathy Me Elroy
A point then followed from Donaghmoyne’s Maria Smyth before a major from Sean’s Kelsey Maguire. It was nip and tuck between both teams for the next few minutes- with a point from Seans’ Vanessa O’Rourke until the second goal from Donaghmoyne Fiona Mc Nally put some distance between the teams, for the remainder of the half Scores came from Donaghmoyne Edel Keenan (1-1), Sandra Mc Connell (1-1), Karen Hall (0-1) and Seans Erin Lambe (0-1), Aoife Hagan (0-1)
This left the half time score at Donaghmoyne 4-5 Sean Mc Dermott’s 1-4.
With Sean’s now 10 points in arrears they would need a strong second half performance to bring them back into the game, however it was Donaghmoyne who took the lead and had registered a goal and two points in the first ten mins, coming from Sandra Mc Connell (1-1) and Maria Smyth (1).
Seans got back on the scoreboard with points from Cathy Mc Elroy (1) and Kelsey Maguire (1) while Caoimhe Dolan scored 1-1, but Donaghmoyne had the final say with points from Aine Finnegan, Edel Keenan, Sandra Mc Connell (1-1)and a first major from Sub Niamh Markey.

Inniskeen 5-14 Aughnamullen 1-3
Inniskeen had a convincing win over Aughnamullen to secure 1st place in their championship group. After a close opening game against Donaghmoyne they have gone on to win their remaining 2 games convincingly. They have been pushing for this junior title for the past few years and with the performances they have been putting in so far, maybe this is their year. Miriam Kelly finished top scorer for Inniskeen with 2 goals and 2 points. Bronagh Duffy scored a goal and 4 points with Roisin Mc kenna scoring a goal and 2 points. Linda Callan scored Inniskeens only other goal with others on the scoresheet, Voreen Quigley 3 points, Tracey Mc Geeny 1point, Julie Anne Finnegan 1 points.
Latton V Truagh B Saturday 16th July
Latton secured top place in Group 2 of the Junior Championship with a win over Truagh. Despite what the scoreline may suggest, Truagh fought bravely until the end and the scorline didn’t justify their efforts. Truagh had to field a very young team and in fairness they battled right until the end with their young 12 year old Linda Mc Meel scoring a goal for her efforts. Latton on the other hand had experience on their side with Diane Dempsey once again proving what a talented forward she is. She finished on a tally of 2-4 but was involved in most of Latton’s scores. Lavina Connolly’s experience also proved vital, but they had 7 players in total who got on the scoresheet. Latton won the Junior Ulster championship a number of years ago and with the performances to date that they have put up, they will be hoping to bring the title back to Latton
