IFL: A strong finish to last Saturday's Intermediate Football League play-off in Scotstown saw us come from behind to defeat Seán McDermotts. Michael Galligan and Michael McMorrow were our only scorers in a first half that ended with us trailing by 1-7 to 0-5. We had the wind at our backs in the second half, but a slow start left us still chasing the game until Luke McManus poked home a goal that sparked a comeback that soon saw Seán Callan hit the net. With Michael Galligan, Dean Doherty and Daragh Croarkin also on target and Luke racing in to score his second goal, we pushed on to claim an important win on a scoreline of 3-12 to 1-11.

Team and scorers: Daragh Croarkin (0-1f); Gary Devlin, Aodhán Óg McAnespie (Capt.), Jake McConnon; Kevin Moran, Lochlainn Power, Nicholas Scott; Dylan McKenna, Tiarnán O'Rourke; Dean Doherty (0-1), Seán Callan (1-0), Michael McMorrow (0-1); Neil McAdam; Luke McManus (2-2), Michael Galligan (0-7, 4f).

Our last group game is scheduled for Saturday week, August 12, away to Scotstown.

U-15: Hard luck to our U-15s, who fell short in the Division Two League Final against Truagh in Threemilehouse last Thursday. A brilliant goal from Conor Farmer and points by Josh Cassidy, Deagan Doherty and Lewis Duffy kept us in touch during a well-contested first half, but Truagh pulled away with a strong start to the second half. Our lads kept plugging away, with Alex Flynn roving forward to kick a couple of points and Deagan rattling the net, but it wasn't enough to catch up. We now look forward to championship, with details as yet unavailable.  

Team and scorers: Alex Flynn (0-2); Ruairí Smyth, Conor Farmer (Joint-Capt., 1-0); Odhrán Kelly, Charlie O'Brien, Andrew McKenna; Josh Cassidy (0-5f), Joseph O'Neill; Cayden McDonnell, Joe Gunn (Joint-Capt.), Deagan Doherty (1-2); Rhys Coyle, Lewis Duffy (0-1).
