* Senior Football
Beaten by Clontibret on Sunday was not the result we were looking for in preparation for our championship match next weekend. Latton struggled from the start and went in losing 6pts to 1pt at half time, the second half did not start much better with Clontibret getting two early points, Latton kicked some good points as the half progressed but were not able to take the goal chances when they came there way. Clontibret finished the stronger team winning by 4pts. Latton 0-7 Clontibret 0-11. Hopefully things will improve for our game against Truagh in Scotstown this Sat evening 18th.
