Senior Championship: Scotstown made a winning start to their championship title defence on Saturday last against Truagh Gaels. It was a tight contest right through the 60 minutes and it took an injury time goal through Paul Grant to make the result safe for Scotstown in the end. Rory Beggan had converted a ʺ45 ̏ to leave Scotstown 7pts to 6 ahead at half time. Both teams had been on level terms on three occasions, where Truagh led once in the early stages of 2nd half, but with scores through Conor McCarthy, Darren Hughes, Shane Carey and our midfield dominance from David McCague & Francis Caulfield carried them through to the next round of the championship. Team: Rory Beggan (0-2); Padraig Keenan; Mark Duffy; Damien McArdle; Peter O’Hara; James Turley; Barry McMeel; David McCague; Francis Caulfield; Eddie Beggan; Shane Carey (0-3); Brian McGinnity; Conor McCarthy (0-4); Darren Hughes (0-4); Dermot McCrudden.

On Sunday last they nearly upset the league leaders Killanny with another fine performance and probably at least deserved a draw for their efforts, they trailed at the break by 8pts to 6 with Elliott Maguire (3), Mark McDevitt, Jason Carey and Sean Mohan registering first half scores. A good start to the second half saw Scotstown in front on 35th minute, with a point from Sean Mohan and a goal from Elliott Maguire made it 1-7 to 8pts. They even created other opportunities to extend their advantage but Killanny turned things around and led by 4pts in the closing stages. Sean Mohan goal on 56th minute was the closest we got to the league leaders as the game came to end on a score of 2-7 to 14pts.
