MINORS:

We had a good draw away to Churchill on Tuesday last (5th April) in our final round of the Co League on a score of 2-11 to 2-11. We had the advantage of a strong wind in the opening half but only went in at half-time leading by 2-5 to 2-3. Our goals were both well taken by Gary Howard and Conor Hurley.

We looked to be facing a difficult task after Churchill drew level in the opening minutes of the 2nd half, but we played some great football into the strong wind for the remainder of the game to secure an important draw. Pat Kearney had an outstanding game and was well assisted in the backline by Mark Ryle and Eoin Barden. Conor Hurley and Jack Myers were hugely influential in midfield, while up front Gary Howard, Mikey Walsh and Ger Tobin impressed.

Team: Dylan O Shea, Mark Ryle, Darren Daly, Aaron Pitman, Eoin Barden, Pat Kearney, Conor Hurley (1-2) Jack Myers, Darcy O’Sullivan, Mikey Walsh (0-5), Johnny Downey, Gary Howard (1-1) Owen Breen (0-1) Ger Tobin (0-1) Joe Griffin (0-1) Darrion Hurley

We have now qualified for the semi-final of the Co League where we will be away to Churchill, date to be confirmed.

U14 LADIES:

We began our U14 Co League last Sunday v Firies in Ballyseedy last Sunday. Played in ideal conditions our first game of the year in the Co League started off at a fast pace and 4 points from Rachel Kilgallen gave us an early lead. Both teams exchanged scores and half time score Mitchels 0-4 Firies 1-2.
Second half Mitchels pushed hard and were rewarded with 2 goals by Ruth Moriarty. Firies pushed hard for scores but excellent defending by captain Julie Foley and Erica O Connor and great goalkeeping by Kerry Oba kept Firies at bay. Late in the game we conceded a goal after intense pressure. Final score Mitchels 2-4 Firies 4-2. Well done girls you never stopped trying.
