Sean’s Notes
Under 16. Our Under 16 squad on Sunday night last at Threemilehouse put in a five star performance in the Under16 Division 1 championship to overcome a very talented and highly rated Donaghmoyne side. This was an exciting game of football with nothing between the teams from the throw in, our boys managing to secure passage to the semi-final by virtue of their 1 – 9 to 0 – 9 victory; the all important goal coming from midfielder Aidan Ward his long range effort deceiving the Fontenoy net minder. Midfield partner Niall Kearns hit four points while man of the match full forward Adam O Driscoll accounted for his teams other scores to put the gloss on an excellent all round team effort. The team on duty was, Ryan Connolly, Aaron Mc Nally, Jamie Keenan, Shane Kelly, Niall Murphy, Rian Mc Entee, Ashley Corrigan, Niall Kearns Aidan Ward, Mark Murphy, Sean Grant, Ryan Hughes, Patrick Mc Phillips, Adam O Driscoll, Dylan Mc Nally, James Connolly, and Ryan Mc Elvaney Oisin Mc Kenna.
