U-13: Our U-13 Division Two team fell short against a very strong Killanny side in last Sunday's championship final in Drumhowan. Our lads were very much in this game early on, with Kyle Lavery and Andrew McKenna kicking points and Josh Cassidy firing a powerful shot to the net to leave just three between the teams at the water break. Killanny took charge before half-time, however, with a string of well-taken scores and although the Harps boys had a couple of efforts at goal, they couldn't find a way past the Killanny keeper. Our lads kept plugging away to the end, with Josh continuing to work tirelessly at midfield, Joe Gunn leading the defence and Kyle adding a couple of points up front, but Killanny ran out worthy winners on the day. Our U-13s can reflect on a campaign that saw them make great strides, contesting two finals and winning the league shield. Thanks to the players, parents, management of Michael Morgan, Orla Whelan, Eileen McElvaney and Brenda McConnon and Covid Officer Seán McKenna for their commitment this year.
