Minor League! The minor team turned out their best performance with victory over Magheracloone in Emmet Park. The foundation was set in the first half when the home led by 1-07 to 0-04 at the break. Good play was shown throughout this period to create an air of optisism for the second half. Magheracloone registered their fifth and last point early after the restart and it was from here on that the Emmets showed some fine skills and drive; Killian Gartland who was having an outstanding hour started the sequence; indeed he landed six-points overall! The Emmets defenders intercepted all the major Magheracloone threats and kept the Mitchells chances to a minimum. The half back line were in control of their area and made life difficult for their opponents: Midfield was strong and used their strenght to good use. Up front it was pleasing to see some very intricate play with a high level of movement; which in turn created space and the points.The half forward line were productive in producing openings and found plenty of gaps while the full forward line were on their toes and confident on the ball. Final Score; 1-17 to 0-05. Team; Robbie McCluskey; Cormac O’Hanlon; Patrick Bermingham; Oisin Cassidy; Cathal O’Rourke; Tiernan McCourt; Cathal McEneaney; Andrew Moore; Karl McMenamin; Thaig Callaghan; Oisin Wilcoc; Rowan McMahon; Eoin Brady; Dylan Ward: Killian Gartland; Subs were Jack Gillick; Eoghan Duffy; Michael Maguire; Larry McCluskey; Breffni Henry; Rhesa Irawan:

Sixteens Win! The under sixteen team got back on the winning track at Donaghmoyne with a splendid win over the home side. A good start is half the battle and two early goals had the perfect effect and when two more followed before half time it looked very promising. Andrew Moore got two majors while Donnach Swinburne got one; Eton O’Gorman got his fist to a fifty-fifty ball and outdid the goalkeeper. In the meantime Donnach was tapping over free-kicks while Dara Povall and Jack McGeown got a point apiece. Half time; 4-07 to 0-03: Darragh Maher took off a great double save just before half time! Donnach pointed two early points in the second half and another goal from Ryan Marron and two further points from Donnach plus a Larry McCluskey point was ample to secure victory.
