U14: We captured the U14 A County title for the 7th time and in the process retained our title in a heartstopping final against Durlas Og in Templederry on Friday last. This was a titanic struggle against a skilful and powerful Durlas Og team in which the lead changed hands several times. Durlas Og led 1-5 to 0-6 at the interval but we started the second half well and were 1-7 to 1-6 up after 6 mins. Durlas Og were in the ascendancy for the next 10 mins and were up 2-9 to 1-7 with 9 mins left. The boys showed huge fighting spirit and finished very strongly to score 3-3 in the remainder of the match to run out deserving winners against a Durlas Og team that were most gracious in defeat. Huge credit is due to Team mentors Robbie Ryan, Eamon O’Brien, John Manley and Christy McLoughlin, many thanks also to Noreen Ryan for her help on the day. Thanks to Martin Morris and his staff for the team meal after the game.
