Scotstown Notes

Credit Union League:  A hat trick of goals from Orin Heaphey helped Scotstown seniors to another league win over Currin on Wednesday week last. The home team had a commanding lead at the interval and when a fourth goal was put away nicely by Stephen Sherry when introduced 10mins into the second half the game had been long over as a contest as the game ended on a score of 4-18 to 8pts.

Junior League: Our Junior team had suffered two recent defeats, first one away to Eire Og on Wednesday last, where the performance was poor and lost by 1-16 to 6pts. Then on Sunday 20^th April they were at home to Aughnamullen and lost by 1-5 to 10pts. Both teams went into the break level at 1-2 to 5pts, with Scotsown’s opening score coming on 12mins from Ruairi Sheehan, followed by a Ross McKenna point. A Donnacha Dolan goal on 16mins gave the home side a brief lead but Aughnamullen soon level matters. The second half was tight with the team’s level on three occasions, Cian Mohan kept Scotstown in the game with some fine saves, while Jack McDevitt and Shane Rice perform well, and a Ruairi Sheehan penalty on 23^rd minute had been saved but responded quickly to slot over the bar. Scotstown had a good last ten minute spell and possible could have had something from the game but Aughnamullen two insurance points meant they went away with the win. Team: Cian Mohan, Jack McDevitt, Matthew Mc Cague, Ryan Caulfield, Mark Treanor, Conor Caulfield, James Hamill, Ross McKenna, Michael Mc Carville, Tom Moyna, Paul Sherlock, Donnacha Dolan, Ruairi Sheehan.
