* Senior Football Championship

V-Truagh. The result of  a game we had to win to keep our season alive was in doubt  right up to the last kick of the game, luckily we held on to win by 1pt at the end. Latton started well and when P Shannon put O, Duffy in for a goal after 8 min it looked like we were saving our best football for championship time. Unfortunately some bad shooting, 14 wides in total meant that the supporters were kept on the edge off their seats up to the last kick of the game. A, Farmer put in a great hours work for Latton with some great high fielding and 2pts from play at crucial times helped keep us in the game, P, Shannon and S, Fitzpatrick also worked hard for the latton cause.

Minor football

V-magheracloone Tue 14^th, in a low scoring first half Latton found scores hard to get and went in losing 0-4 to 1-2 at half time.
