Reserve League Division 1A: Scotstown Reserves suffered their first defeat of the season at O’Neill Park, Clontibret on Saturday evening when a goal in each half for the hosts made the difference. Clontibret registered a goal with their first attack of the game, but Scotstown regrouped to go in at the break just two points behind at 1-6 to 0-7. In a low scoring second half, Scotstown hit three points to take the lead for the first time. The lead was short lived though, with the hosts converting a penalty in the closing minutes to win by four points – 2-9 to 0-11.
