Senior Football Championship
What a difference a year makes, this time last year we were celebrating after beating Ballybay in the semi-final and looking forward to the county final. This week we are licking our wounds and feeling sorry for ourselves after been comprehensively beaten by Ballybay last Sunday in Clones. Ballybay got off to a great start scoring 2-2 in the first 5mins, when Latton conceded a third goal after 15mins they had a mountain to climb to get back into the game. Half-time score Latton 0-4 Ballybay 3-5. The Latton players worked hard in the second half and got back to within 5pts of Ballybay but two more goals in the last 10min put the game beyond Lattons reach. Ballybay 5-8 Latton 0-13. We play Truagh away in the league on Sat evening.
Committee Meeting
A meeting of the Executive Committee will take place tonight (Thursday) at 9 0’clock.
Bosco Carrol memorial cup
On Saturday last our U-10 team successfully retained the Bosco Carroll cup in a four team tournament held in Rockcorry. We beat Aghabog in the semi-final for the right to play Rockcorry in the final. Rockcorry had earlier beaten Killeevan in the other semi-final. Both teams played some great football in the final luckily Latton came out on top in the end. We would like to thank the Carroll family and the Rockcorry club for their hospitality.
