Make the trip on Wednesday evening to support the team as they look to continue their good start to the year.

Reserves:

On Wednesday evening last our Reserve side continued their Platinum Tanks RFL campaign as they took on Aughnamullen away from home. This was a very tight encounter with both sides making the most of the dry conditions on the night. Thankfully after running in a number of goals the lads came away with the two points to go top of the Division 1B League. The next outing for our Reserve team is a big one as the lads take on Scotstown at home in the O Duffy Cup, Reserve Division 1 Championship. Throw in is at 7 o clock in Donaghmoyne on Saturday evening. Come down and support our Reserves as they look to advance to the Championship Semi Final.

U16s:

Our U16 team continued their Divison Two League campaign last Thursday evening when they took on Cremartin at home. Thankfully the lads put in a great display and took away the points.

U14s:

Last Saturday was an important day for our U14 team as they took on Latton in the Division 1 Championship Final. The game was played in excellent conditions in Blackhill with a great Fontenoys following turning out to support the team. Donaghmoyne got off to a great start knocking in goals early on and this set the tempo for what was to come. The lads gave an excellent all round display of attacking football, tight defending and hard work all across the park and this was proven with a full time score of 6-6 to 0-3 to the Fontenoys. This is the first time the club has won the U14 Division 1 Championship and is a fitting testament to this dedicated and talented group of players. The team will now go on to represent Monaghan in the Feile competition taking place in Cork, Kerry and Limerick this Summer. Congratulations to all the players and management and hopefully this will be the start of great things to come for this team.
