Special mention must go to both Corey McAree and Mattie McElvaney who made their senior debuts on the night – both lads acquitted themselves well in their first appearance and didn’t look out of place. Also it was good to see the return of Darach McCluskey from Injury and Darren McMahon (back from his travels).
