Junior A Championship
Clann na nGael 0-16 Castlerea 0-11
The Clann na nGael Junior A team, sponsored by Kathleen Brennan Home Bakery, recorded their first win of the championship at a damp Johnstown on Saturday evening last. Clann’s opponents were in the hunt right up to final throngs of the game, but a blistering final 5 minutes pushed the home side over the line. Clann were best served by Ollie Harney, John Harney, Emmet Kenny and Darragh Petit.
Team: Cathal Hannon, Derek Egan, Daniel Harney, Ollie Harney, Eddie McLoughlin, John Harney, Niall Shine, David O’Neill, Liam Óg Naughten, Andy Carbery, Darragh Lennon, Darragh Petit, Niall Lennon, David Kelly, Emmet Kenny. Subs: Stephen Flynn, Darragh Egan.

Under 14 Championship
Clann na nGael U-14s ended their Championship campaign in disappointing fashion last Sunday, losing out in the County Final to a very strong St. Ciaran’s team. Ballyforan was the location for what turned out to be an exciting game, despite the challenging conditions. St. Ciaran’s started the game the stronger, and put the Clann team under tremendous pressure all over the field. An early goal for St. Ciaran’s made the task at hand even more difficult, as Clann faced into the second half five points down, after having played with a strong breeze. To their great credit, Clann na nGael battled impressively in the second half, showing spirit that has been a characteristic of their play throughout the year. However, St. Ciaran’s ability to deal with the conditions meant they were able to tap on some impressive scores to put the game beyond Clann’s reach, and ran out deserving winners in the end. The Clann lads can be very proud of their performances throughout the year, in particular a fantastic victory in the semi-final against St. Dominic’s last Tuesday evening. Clann will now look to the semi-final of the league in which they hope to make up for last Sunday’s defeat.
