Senior Team
Last Friday our senior squad hosted Rockcorry in the intermeiate league. The early exchanges were point for point, however Rockcorry tagged on a number of scores without reply until the 19th minute when the Seans registered their next score. With half-time approaching a quick saw break and Patrick Kieran get the ball in the rock net to leave only one point at half time. The second half started with quick scores from Rockcorry and and from here the Seans were playing catch up. Although a goal from Damien Larkin did lift the team it wasn’t enough and Rockcorry ran out winners 2-5 to 0-16.

Ryan Connolly was in goals with Mattie Mc Guirk & Rian Mc Entee at full back, at half back was Niall Murphy, Aaron Mc Quaid &Jamie Keenan. In midfield was Enda Connolly & Dara Bell, up front was Niall Kearns, Paddy Mc Phillips, Aidan Ward, Adam O Driscoll & Dylan Mc Nally. The first half saw some good attacking football with a goal from Paddy Mc Phillips The strength of Dylan Mc Nally caused the Killevan defence problems, Dylan also scored a goal & set up other scores. Aidan Ward worked very hard tackling and attacking scoring 3 points. Niall Kearns caused Killevan problems with his high fielding, free taking & attacking play, scoring 1-6 for the match. At half time the score was 3-7 to 2-6 in favour of the Sean Mc Dermotts. In the second half Dara Bell & Enda Connolly ran at the Killevan defence and appeared all over the pitch, both players showing great determination. Enda Connolly was on the end of an attack resulting in a goal by him. Jamie Keenan did his usual man marking job and contested every ball. Rian Mc Entee caught some great high balls and super fit Aaron Mc Nally appeared all over the pitch. Adam O Driscoll was man marked by Killevan and was replaced through injury by Shane Kelly, Ryan Hughes also played and won some good breaking ball. The game was on a knife edge until the final minute and again this team refused to give up. Killevan scored a last minute point to give them a 1 point win with a score of 4-13 to 4-12.
