Minors: Hard luck to our minor Division One team, who fell short in the championship final against Scotstown, which was played in testing conditions in Clones on Sunday. After a slow start, our lads burst into the game with a purple patch midway through the first half, which saw 2-2 from John McCrystal and an Ethan McCaffrey point send us in at the break leading by 2-3 to 0-6. Scotstown turned things back in their favour with a strong start to the second half and while our lads continued to work hard to stay in contention, we could only manage points in response from Eoin Sheridan and John as we ended up falling short on a scoreline of 0-17 to 2-6.

While it wasn't our day, we would like to thank our players and their coaches: Adrian, James, Fintan, Dermot, James and Mark for their efforts throughout the year, which saw us contest a league semi-final and our first MFC Division One decider since 2012. We look forward to seeing the lads continue to represent the club in the years to come.
