U-15: Our U-15s booked their place in the Division Two Championship Final with a hard-earned win away to Emyvale on Tuesday night. The teams traded scores throughout the first half, with Conor Farmer, Josh Cassidy, Deagan Doherty and Lewis Duffy helping us lead by 1-7 to 1-5. The momentum swung several times during the second half. A brace of goals pushed Emyvale ahead, but some last-ditch defending by the likes of Kyle Lavery and Ruairí Smyth kept us in the game, before a goal from Josh and points by Joe Gunn and Calum McCaffrey saw us through.
Team and scorers: Alex Flynn; Kyle Lavery, Ruairí Smyth; Charlie O'Brien, Conor Farmer (Joint-Capt., 1-1), Seán Lambe; Andrew McKenna, Josh Cassidy (1-6, 0-3f); Joseph O'Neill, Joe Gunn (Joint-Capt., 0-2), Deagan Doherty (0-3); Rhys Coyle, Lewis Duffy (0-2).
