Seniors: Our seniors lost to Scotstown in the senior championship last Saturday in Clontibret, 0-12 to 1-14. Scotstown opened the scoring with 2 points in the opening 10 minutes only for us to equalise by the 15th minute with scores from Chrissy McKenna and Aidan Coyle. Scotstown retook the lead adding 3 further points by the 20th minute. Chrissy McKenna again registered a point in the 21st minute before Scotstown scored again a minute later to maintain their 3 point margin. Though denied a goal with a point blank save from the Scotstown keeper, we were consoled with 3 points in the 24th, 25th and 30th minute to level the match, our scores from Adam Treanor, Mark Counihan and Chrissy McAnanley. On the stroke of half time, Scotstown converted a free to leave the half time score Gaeil Triucha 0-6 Scotstown 0-7. We quickly levelled matters in the second half with a Chrissy McAnanley point in the 32nd minute before a long range Chrissy McKenna ground ball sent us ahead for the first time in the match by the 37th minute. It was a lead short-lived however as Scostown registered 7 of the next 8 points in the following 15 minutes to lead 0-9 to 0-14 with 8 minutes remaining. Our sole point in this period was a converted Adam Treanor free. We upped the pressure in the final minutes, reducing the margin to 2 points by the 59th minute with 3 points from Adam Treanor, 2 from free kicks. Hopes of a win were quashed however when Scostown scored a last minute goal to close the game 0-12 to 1-14.
