Seniors: Clones welcomed Donaghmoyne to St Tiarnach’s Park on Saturday evening last.After a disappointing result against Corduff last time out,the home side were hoping to get back to winning ways.This was the reverse of the first game of the league where Donaghmoyne had comprehensively defeated us. Saturday produced a very entertaining game with plenty of passion and determination on display from both sides.The conditions were perfect and the first half was an even enough affair until Donaghmoyne fired three goals between the 18th and 21st minutes to leave the home side reeling and behind by six points at the break.Clones showed their character in the second half, demonstrating the ability in the panel, to dominate proceedings. The margin was reduced to one point, but with Clones increasing the pressure on the Donaghmoyne defence the final whistle sounded on a scoreline of Clones 0-15 Donaghmoyne 3-07. Despite ending in defeat,this was an encouraging performance from Clones.
With half of the league programme completed we find ourselves very much in contention for the play-off positions in this extremely competitive division.There is very little between any of the teams and there are sure to be many more interesting games ahead as we battle for those all-important league points.
