On Saturday evening, Division 2 League champions took on local rivals Sean O’Mahony’s in the Senior Championship semi final. The Gaels were aiming to go one better than their last semi final appearance two years ago and make a senior final for the first time in over 20 years while the Sean where looking to appear in successive finals following their defeat in last years final to St Patrick’s.
The O’Mahony’s started better of the two teams and following an opening wide from number 15, 4 successive points for the point road team put them into an early lead. At the other end of the field, the Gaels were struggling to make an impact on the scoreboard before Gerard McSorley and Sean McCann got the Rampart team off the mark with 2 successive points. The first real goal threat arrived for the O’Mahony’s when a free from Conor Finnegan dropped short and slipped through McCann’s hands and hit the crossbar before dropping into the Gaels square where it was cleared by David McComish. Gaels suffered a blow at this stage with midfielder James Stewart having to retire due to an injury to his shoulder following a heavy collision. Finnegan meanwhile made no mistake with his next effort but Jason Clarke opened his account for the evening through a free of his own. Full forward Conor Crawley rose highest to punch a dangerous dropping ball over the bar to re-open the O’Mahony’s 3 point lead before another Finnegan free left the Point Road side 4 ahead. Clarke reduced the deficit through his second free to leave the scores at 0-7 to 0-4 in favour of the Division 1 side. The Gaels while only 3 behind at the break, hit 5 wides and dropped 5 short in the opening period compared to their opponents who scored 7 out of 10 efforts in the same period.
The second half saw McCann and the dangerous Ben McLaughlin exchange opening scores of the half before Stephen Kilcoyne scored his first to put 4 in it on 45 minutes. Gaels substitute Eanna McArdle pointed for the Gaels on before McLaughlin again scored to leave 4 in it with 9 minutes left. A race of points from McArdle and Derek Crilly lifted the Gaels hopes and brought the game back to a 2 point match with 3 minutes left. The Gaels were trying their hardest to break down a stubborn O’Mahony’s defence but couldn’t muster the goal chance they craved. 2 quick points for Sean’s from Finnegan and Stephen Fisher finally broke the Gaels hearts as they fell to 4 behind with only 1 minute left. The Gaels kept pushing forward and the industrious Shane Rice pointed to leave a goal in it but the O’Mahony’s won the resultant kick-out and with that, Stephen Murphy brought a hard fought game to an end. The O’Mahony’s continue their quest for a first senior championship in two weeks tome while the Gaels will be left ruing a series of wides and dropped shots which made the difference in the end, only scoring 10 out of 28 efforts. In comparison to their opponents who scored 12 out of 20 efforts, their could be no complaints from the Ramparts side.
Gaels: Paul Burke, Eamonn Kenny, David McComish, Jamie Faulkner, Peter McGinnity, Derek Crilly (0-1), David Moloney, James Stewart, Sean McCann (0-2), Niall Hearty, Gerard McSorley (0-1), Shane Rice (0-1), Errol Boyle, Sean Fee, Jason Clarke (0-2)

SFC Quarter Final V Blues
On Thursday night, Dundalk Gaels took on perennial Championship opponents the Newtown Blues, Louth’s most successful club, in a re-fixed Quarter Final of the Senior Championship. A minute’s silence was observed by all in attendance in respect of the recent death of Marian McGinn, mother of Blues captain Hugh and physio Vicki.
The Gael’s started brightest and the opening 3 scores of the game came from the Dundalk men. Jason Clarkes two points were separated by one from team captain Derek Crilly. The Blues at this stage had hit 3 wides before they finally got off the mark with one apiece from Conor Brannigan and Kieran Downey. David Moloney responded for the Gaels before 2 points from the Drogheda men in quick succession levelled the game for the first time with 16 minutes gone in the first half. The first real goal scare came following a Gerard McSorley effort which dropped short and was tipped by the Blues keeper towards the back post before the Blues defence gathered the ball ahead of the onrushing Errol Boyle. The Blues went ahead through Downey before Crilly’s second of the half brought the Gaels level again. A period of dominance for the last 10 minutes then began for the favourites who scored 4 points in succession the final point being an own point by Jamie Faulkner who fisted the ball over the bar following a long ball in by the Blues midfield. This period also saw the first yellow cards of the game produced with one a piece to either side. The Blues went in ahead at half time by 4 and were the more efficient in front of goals having not missed an effort since their 3rd wide early on with 8 consecutive successful scores along with Faulkner’s effort.
From the restart the Blues won the throw in and launched a dangerous ball into the Gaels square which veteran goalkeeper Paul Burke did well to gather. The opening score of the second half came via the boot of Clarke following a booming 45 before Colm Judge quickly responded for the Blues. McSorley finally got off the mark with his first successful effort of the game followed by a Sean Fee point to leave the Gaels behind by 2 with 10 minutes of the second half gone. The decisive score came in the 40th minute and it came via the inspirational captain Derek Crilly. Following some good work on the wing by the Gaels, the experienced David McComish launched a dangerous ball into the Blues goalmouth which was expertly punched to the net by Crilly. For the first time since mid-way through the first half, the underdogs had taken the lead, once which they fought tooth and nail to keep. The Blues responded through substitute Ross Nally and a flurry of substitutions on either side ensured the high tempo remained throughout. With the game now level entering the final 5, Gaels sub Kevin McArdle put Ramparts men ahead by one before Moloney added his second of the match to give the Gaels a 2 point cushion. The Blues continued to press and saw a late effort go into the side netting before they received one last free on the Gaels 45. A high ball into the square eventually went wide and this was followed by the sound of referee Brian Brady’s whistle to put the Gaels through to the semi-final for the second time in 3 years.
This was an enthralling encounter from start to finish and both sides played their part in a tremendous occasion. The Gaels now look forward to a championship meeting with local rivals and last year’s finalists, the Sean O’Mahony’s in what promises to be tense and tight affair.
Gaels: Paul Burke, Eamonn Kenny, David McComish, Jamie Faulkner, Peter McGinnity, David Moloney (0-2), Oisin Murray, James Stewart, Derek Crilly (1-2), Niall Hearty, Gerard McSorley (0-1), Sean Murray, Errol Boyle, Sean Fee (0-1), Jason Clarke (0-3)

Peter Norton, who died on August 29th, served on the club’s committee for a number of years, filling the role of treasurer for a period. He also helped in the running of underage teams. Peter was diligent in carrying out his duties as committeeman. When the lotto was introduced in the mid-1990s he played a pivotal role in its smooth running, and up until the onset of illness two years ago, he sold a book each week among family and friends. He was an occasional supporter of club teams. Born on the Long Avenue, Peter lived in the nearby Dunmor estate. His main sporting interest in recent years was greyhound racing, following a tradition begun by his father, Benny, many years ago. He could often be seen pounding the roads with one or two of his charges, and in partnership with his good friend, Seamus O’Hanlon, from Dowdallshill, enjoyed lots of good fortune, winning a succession of races at Dundalk and Shelbourne Park. Peter is survived by his wife, Antoinette (nee Callan, Kilsaran), sons, Darren and Alan, daughter, Kim, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, and other relatives and friends, to whom the club extends its sympathy. Remains were taken from his home on Tuesday, September 1st, to St Patrick’s Cathedral for Requiem Mass, and from there to Kilsaran Cemetery for burial. Club members formed a guard of honour, and the coffin was draped in the blue-and-white. A vote of sympathy with Peter’s family was passed at a committee meeting.
The Dundalk Gaels would like to offer its sincere condolences to the Mc Ginn family on the death of Marian McGinn.

Great U9 blitz in Gers over the weekend.
Please publish and let me know if you need anything else. Copy below and images attached.
“Geraldines ran a very successful under 9 boys blitz yesterday. This was the first time we had hosted a competitive blitz and thankfully the sun was shining on an immaculate McGeough Park.
The Geraldines fielded 2 teams, as did St.Peter’s Lurgan. Navan O’Mahonys, Kilkerley Emmets, St Patricks, Lordship and St Josephs, Dromiskin all entered one team each. After 3 group matches the teams entered into cup and shield competitions.
Geraldines put up a brave fight against St peters in the shield semi final but were beaten. Jake Logan scored a superb point and there were strong performances from Evan Hoey Rogers and Evyn O’Callaghan. Under 8’s Sean McKenna and Odhran Mac Shane put in very impressive performances.
Kilkerley defeated the other St Peters side in the other semi and Kilkerley went on to win the shield competition.
In the cup semi finals Geraldines and a very impressive Navan OMahoneys side had a very close fought match and the Geraldines came out on top after a sensational goal from Cian Spaight. The other semi final was also close with St.Pats eventually coming out on top against a very strong Joe’s team.
The final between the Pats and Gers was an extremely competitive game and the Pats edged home by 2 points after a very strong 2nd half.
All the Geraldines player played their part throughout with Cian Spaight giving his usual tireless ‘Duracell battery’ performance. Shane Mullaney gave a string of big performances and Cillian Lynch had an outstanding day despite injuring his thumb early on. Eoin Rodgers came to life in the final scoring 2 lovely points and Shay Neary and Cormac Broe won ball after ball and distributing it superbly and Jamie Soraghan impressed at half forward.
Michael O’Brien from the Joes won the free kick competition after a shoot out with youngTadhg Fitzgerald from Kilkerley while the penalty kick competition also came down to a sudden death shoot out between Conal Wilson and Oisin Haughey both from St Peters. Oisin finally eventually came out on top of this battle of the Lurgan sharp shooters.
After all the presentations were made everone enjoyed the chicken curry and rice provided in the clubrooms.
Big thank you to all the teams, coaches and parents for a super day. Also thanks to the man with the Megaphone, Brian Cafferty who helped the whole day run smoothly and to the 4 referees Nicky Mackin,Fionnuala Cafferty, Liam Cafferty and John Carr.
And finally congratulations to Kilkerley and the Pats on taking home the silverware ”

Reports
Senior Hurling League Final
St Fechins 2-11
Pearse Óg 0-9
St Fechins took home the Senior Hurling League title for the second time on Thursday night in Darver. The fixture was a repeat of last years championship final and having met in the league only two weeks ago, it’s fair to say the teams are on familiar terms. St Fechins reversed the result of the most recent fixture helped in part by a first half exhibition in scoring from Paul Mathews.
Although a Shane Callan free put Pearse Óg on the board after a minute, it was St Fechins who had the stronger opening. Paul Mathews opened his account with two points in two minutes, quickly followed by scores from Vincent Hynes and David Stephenson. After eight minutes Mathews bounced a shot past Pearse Óg ‘keeper Kevin Brady. A minute later he rose highest and with a glorious flick sent the sliotar to the back of the net once again. Seaghan Conneely looked like he could have added a third goal but opted for a point, following it up minutes later with a second. A number of tactical changes for Pearse Óg meant they tightened up in defence and they pulled back three points before half time. A final point from Paul Mathews saw the sides go in at the break with St Fechins leading by 2-7 to 0-4.
St Fechins began the second half with a free from Paddy McCormack but could not keep up their prolific scoring rate. Pearse Óg, determined to play their way back into the game, upped their intensity in attack. However their attempts to burst through St Fechins defence were rebuffed by the excellent Robert Moynagh and Oisín Byrne among others. Points from Vincent Hynes, Michael Ryan and a final free from David Stephenson cancelled out scores from Pearse Óg. St Fechins captains Paddy McCormack and Cormac McAuley accepted the cup from county chairman Des Halpenny to the cheers of St Fechins supporters. Celebrations however will be short lived as the Senior Hurling Championship returns next week where St Fechins will attempt to defend their title.
St Fechins:
Stephen Hackett, Cormac McAuley, Darren McDonnell, Robert Moynagh, Oisín Byrne, Cathal Ryan, Micháel Byrne, Donal Ryan, Paddy McCormack, David Stephenson, Vincent Hynes, Conor Mathews, Michael Ryan, Seaghan Conneely, Paul Matthews
Subs: Niall Devlin, Liam Ryan, Ross Berkery, Sean McConnell, Brian Stephenson
Scorers:
Paul Matthews 2-3
David Stephenson 0-2 (0-1f)
Vincent Hynes 0-2
Michael Ryan 0-1
Paddy McCormack 0-1 (0-1f)
Seaghan Conneely 0-2

Division 1 League Round 11
St Fechins 0-13
Naomh Mairtin 3-12
St Fechins travelled to Monasterboice needing a win to guarantee Division 1 football next year. However a defeat leaves them in a playoff against St Josephs. Playing with the wind in the first half a good start was essential, instead two Mairtins goals within the first two minutes rocked them. In fairness they fought back well and kicked nine points in a row through Ronan Holcroft, Niall Devlin and Eoghan Duffy. The Mairtins finished the half stronger and kicked four unanswered points to leave it 2-4 0-9 to the Monasterboice outfit at half time.
The second half saw the return to action of Colm O’Neill after a long layoff. Two J.P. Rooney points were followed by a Brian Berill goal and four further Mairtins points meant the game was over as a contest. The Fechins fought to the end but couldn’t eat into the Mairtins lead. Three Holdcroft frees were followed by a Colm O’Neill point to finish the scoring. St Fechins will now have to regroup and hope to get their injured players back for the championship and league play-off.
St Fechins:
Mark Savage, Sean McConnell, Tom Burke, Niall Carolan, Donal Ryan, David Collier, Leo McGrane, Ryan Sheridan, Paul Matthews, Joe Corrigan, Eoghan Duffy 0-2, Niall Devlin 0-2, Ronan Holcroft 0-8, Danny Burnell, Harry McArdle
Subs: Colm O’Neill 0-1 for David Collier, Brendan Fanning for Niall Carolan

We then waited in the tunnel til we were called on to the pitch.
All the players took they positions on the pitch ready for the kick off.
Cooley faced a very competent team from Co. Kildare called Ballymore Eustace.
Cooley played really well showing lots of skill and determination in what was a very close encounter.
On the final whistle the teams made their way to the podium in the Hogan stand and everyone got to lift a small replica of the Sam Maguire cup.
This was the highlight of the day for many.
At 12 O’ clock began the stadium tour which was an added extra on the day.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this getting an insight in to the behind the scenes events at GAA headquarters.
A memorable day was had by all and a huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen.
Here’s to many more memorable days out in Croke park for this great club…..

The lads will play the Intermediate Championship Quarter Final v St. Josephs G.F.C. Dromiskin on Saturday 27th August at 7pm in The Grove, Castlebellingham.
Naomh Fionnbarra Ladies team were beaten by a stronger St. Fechins team in the second round of the Intermediate Championship on Sunday 21st August. The final score 8-8 to 1-6. St. Fechins won the toss and got the advantage of the strong wind in the first half. The score board read 3-3 for St. Fechins before Naomh Fionnbarra ladies found the target with a Jeni Devlin point. Ashley Callaghan took a hard hit in the goal mouth to deny another goal chance. Good work by Roisin Osbourne and Leanne Sharkey helped the Fionnbarra ladies get the ball up the field creating many scoring chances. Maria Butterly replaced the injured Ashley Callaghan and Leanne Sharkey took up the keeper position. Marianne Hullen took a great free to add a second point but Saint Fechins continued to increase the lead with the half time score line of 5-6 to 0-2.
A more spirited Naomh Fionnbarra team were helped by the wind in the second half. A solo run by Ciara McMahon earned her a free which was converted by Laura Sharkey. Jeni Devlin jumped high to win a kickout setting Marianne up for a point. Sarah McGrane was introduced for Vikki Carrie. Jeni and Marianne combined efforts again to get a super goal but St. Fechins replied with the same. Leah Cassidy carried the ball from wing back and Marianne scored another point. Leanne was left with no choice but to bring down the St. Fechins full forward giving away a penalty which St. Fechins scored. Seaghna Campbell replaced Alison Gorham in corner forward. Laura Sharkey scored the last point after Ciara McMahon took the ball from midfield. Katie McGee was introduced for Laura Sharkey. St. Fechins finished strong putting an end to the Naomh Fionnbarra come back. This game brings an end to the 2016 season.
On behalf of the Naomh Fionnbarra Ladies Club, we would like to thank our manager Cormac Reynolds for his hard work throughout the year. He was helped on occasion by Shane O’Brien, Deirbhile Osborne and Marie Doyle.

Naomh Fionnbarra G.F.C.
Played in windy conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played Stabannon Parnells in the Semi Final of the Division 2/3 League Play Off at John Markey Park, Ballygassan on Saturday evening. The Stabannon men made light of their lower league status and had the brighter start. They scored 2 of the first 3 points of the game with the Finbarrs point coming from a well struck Conor Osborne effort. The Barrs then got a lucky break as Conor Osborne drilled a low shot to the back of the Stabannon net after there was confusion in their back line following a Bernard Osborne free. Back came Stabannon and they scored the next 2 points to regain the lead. Bernard Osborne replied for the Togher men, who were playing nervously, with a good point on the turn from the left. Parnells replied with another point while Andy McCann finished the scoring for the half with a lovely point from the right wing. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-3(6) Stabannon Parnells 0-6(6).
The Barrs made a good start to the second half and in fact tehy dominated the 3rd quarter of the game scoring 8 points without reply from a number of scorers and of high quality. This haul included 3 good points from wing back Pádraig Butterly from the left wing as he drove forward from the Barrs back line. Bernard Osborne tacked on 2 points, 1 from a free and 1 from play while Pádraic Murphy made sure all of the full forward line got on the scoresheet with a nice point with his right boot after a good turnover in the Stabannon defence. Óisín McGee got in on the act with a very good point from the right wing while Conor Osborne added a good point to his first half tally. The Finbarrs were dominant in midfield in this period and the defence had little to do but remained solid.
At this stage it looked ominous for the Stabannon men, but they eventually got off the mark in the second half with a point. This left the score at 1-11 to 0-7 with about 15 minutes remaining. The game began to get scrappy as Stabannon got on top and Darren McConnon received his marching orders after receiving a second yellow card. Parnells then broke through the Togher back line and one of their forwards was dragge.d down. The referee immediately blew for a penalty which was dispatched top the back of the Finbarrs net. With the deficit reduced to 4 Stabannon could see a chink of light at the end of the tunnel and the Barrs became slightly nervous. Patrick McGrane received a black card during this period also. The Togher men squandered a couple of good scoring chances, however Bernard Osborne finally lifted the siege with a well taken free from 21m. Naomh Fionnbarra lived to fight another day and are through to the Division 2/3 League Play Off Final v Roche Emmets in a repeat of last years Junior Championship Final. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-12(15) Stabannon Parnells 1-7(10).
Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Conor Osborne 1-2, Bernard Osborne 0-4(2f), Pádraig Butterly 0-3, Óisín McGee 0-1, Andy McCann 0-1, and Pádraic Murphy 0-1.

The club would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Mary McArdle Annagassan who passed away recently. May she Rest In Peace.
The club would also like to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Peter Hoey, Knockbridge who passed away recently. Peter was a stalwart gaa man and held many positions at County Board level over the years, in his position as honery president he was attending Co. Board meetings until very recently, not only attending but contributing as well despite his age. He was also a Trojan worker for the now defunct Supporters club. But it was for his great love of camogie that he was well known in this area, as when Louth won the All-Ireland championship in 1982 with a team made up from the two kingpins of camogie in the county, St. Anne’s & Kilkerly, Peter was one of the management team who worked hard to make it all possible. He was ever present at our dinner dances which were an annual thing for GAA clubs back in the sixty’s & Seventy’s when St Anne’s used to make a show of the Finbarrs with their presentations of Senior Leagues & Championships. May he Rest In Peace.
Played in sunny conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played St. Brides in the 11th Round of the Division 2 League at Páirc An Chuinnigh, Kinockbridge on Saturday evening. Playing with the breeze in the first half the Brides went in at the break with a 0-6 to 0-1 half time lead.
The Barrs hoped to reverse that trend in the second half however it was the Knockbridge men who upped it a few gears in the seocnd half and ran out convincing 2-13(19 to 1-4(7) winners.
Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Andy McCann 1-0, Bernard Osborne 0-2, Óisín McGee 0-1 & Jack Butterly 0-1.
Naomh Fionnbarra Team: Allan Matthews, Hugh McGrane, Colin McGrane, Bryan Sharkey; Conor Osborne, Patrick McGrane, Pádraig Butterly; Hugh Osborne, John Doyle; Máirtín Murphy, Andy McCann, Jack Butterly; Óisín McGee, Darren McConnon, Bernard Osborne.

Division 3 football league.
Roche Emmets 1-17, Dowdallshill 1-6.
Dowdallshill went down to high flying Roche in this round 10 league game played in Roche on Friday night.
The home side are on a great run of form where they have been hitting over 20 points a game and had a 26 point win over Glen Emmets in the Sheild final on Tuesday, so they were expected to overcome Gary Corfigans side who were missing a number of regulars.
The home side started on the front foot with the opening 3 points, but the hill lads drew level with a goal from Chris McMahon who was a thorn in the home defence all night, and with a bit of luck he could have had a first half hatrick. Noel Finnegan and a fine Daniel Kerr effort from out near the sideline completed the visitors scoring in the first half as Roche kicked some fine scores to lead by 0-12 to 1-2 at half time.
The second half saw Dowdallshill battle right to the end and got some good scores from Paul Gill, Paul Flynn and Aidan McCabe.
Best for the Hill were; John Kerr in goal, Paul Flynn, Chris McMahon and Gerry McShane who rolled back the years to with a great game at midfield.
Dowdallshill team and scorers; John Kerr; Vincent McKevitt, Damien Fanning, Emmet o Brien; Noel Finnegan (0-1), Paul Flynn (0-1), Jack McGailey; Gerry McShane, Vincent Roe; Paul Delaney, Robert Arthurs, Paul Gill(0-1); Daniel Kerr (0-1), Chris McMahon (1-0), Aidan McCabe (0-2). Sub Gary Corrigan.

St Finbarrs & St Annes Club Notes July
Played in sunny conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played Na Piarsaigh in the 2nd Round of the Intermediate Championhip at Pairc Bríd, Dowdallshill on Saturday evening. The Dundalk men made the brighter start and scored a goal by Mark Larkin after 3 minutes as the ball was fumbled into the Finbarrs net. The Barrs got off the mark via a fisted point by Darren McConnon as the ball was played across the square a minute later. Larkin replied for Na Piarsaigh, however the Finbarrs started to take control and popped over the next 3 points from play to tie the scores. The first by Máirtín Murphy which almost resulted in a goal as it barely scraped over the bar and 2 from Bernard Osborne from play, the first a brilliant long range effort after a neat turn. Larkin was causing the Barrs defence problems at the other end and he scored again for the Dundalk men to re take the lead. This prompted a switch in the Finbarrs defence as Hugh McGrane took over marking duties on the dangerman.
The Togher men clicked into top gear at this stage and started to dominate around the middle. Andy McCann equalised the scores on 14 minutes with a well taken point from the right wing. Some vital turnovers in the Finbarrs defence by Óisín McGee and Paddy McGrane led to scores as did some good combination play. Bernard Osborne struck 3 in a row as he continued his good form. 2 from placed balls, 1 of which was tight to the left hand sideline and 1 from open play, leaving the Barrs 0-8 to 1-2 ahead. Back came Na Piarsaigh and who else but that man Larkin got on the scoreboard with 3 points in a row to level the scores for the 3rd time. In what was an up and down half the Barrs scored twice more with good points from Pádraig Butterly and Osborne again. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-10(10) Na Piarsaigh 1-5(8).
The Barrs drew first blood at the start of the second half with a Conor Osborne point after 2 minutes to increase their lead to 4 and it looked ominous for the Dundalk men. They had other ideas however, and between the 36the and 47th minute of the half they struck for 1-5 without reply as they took control. They targeted the Barrs talismanic midfielder John Doyle and made it difficult for the Togher men to get out of their half. In fairness, the Finbarrs contributed to their malaise as they lacked incision and played laterally and got bottled up in the centre of the field. Point scorers for Na Piarsaigh were Joe Woods, Mark Larkin, Alan McCartney, Paul Mallon and Ciaran Murphy, while Larkin bagged the goal after a lucky break where the loose ball spun into his path. This left the score at 2-10 to 0-11 with 13 minutes remaining and the Barrs looked to be in trouble.
Eventually the Finbarrs awoke from their slumber as substitute Jack Butterly scored a point on 49 minutes after 17 minutes without a score. Brothers Hugh and Conor Osborne upped the anti with good points of their own to reduce the deficit to 2 points. At this stage Andy McCann and Darren McConnon were brought out to the middle of the field where they won some good possession and helped the team gain momentum. Time was running out however as there were only 5 minutes left in the game. A point by Darren McConnon left 1 point between the teams. It was Na Piarsaigh now who were under pressure and they could not get the ball to stick in their forward line as the Togher defence repelled their counter attacks. Another sub Pádraic Murphy slotted over the equalising score from 30 metres with a couple of minutes to go. A draw was enough to put the Barrs through however they went for the win and the ball was worked to Óisín McGee who calmly lofted the ball over the bar and regain the lead. In the build up the Na Piarsaigh full back was sent off for an altercation with Bernard Osborne. With their next attack Na Piarsaigh went for broke but were halted by Andy McCann who received a black card. From the resulting free kick the ball was sent high into the Barrs square and was scrambled clear while Na Piarsaigh’s claim for a penalty fell on deaf ears. The referee blew the final whistle and Naomh Fionnbarra were through to the Quarter Finals by the narrowest of margins. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-17(17) Na Piarsaigh 2-10(16).
Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Bernard Osborne 0-6(2f), Darren McConnon 0-2, Conor Osborne 0-2, Óisín McGee 0-1, Máirtín Murphy 0-1, Andy McCann 0-1, Jack Butterly 0-1, Hugh Osborne 0-1, Pádraig Butterly 0-1 and Pádraic Murphy 0-1.
Naomh Fionnbarra Team: Allan Matthews, Hugh McGrane, Patrick McGrane, Bryan Sharkey; Chris McGlynn, Colin McGrane, Pádraig Butterly; Hugh Osborne, John Doyle; Máirtín Murphy, Óisín McGee, Conor Osborne; Andy McCann, Darren McConnon, Bernard Osborne.

The Mochtas were keeping in touch with all 3 points from placed balls by Declan Byrne. The Barrs replied with a couple of well taken frees of their own from Bernard Osborne and points from play by Bryan Sharkey and Máirtín Murphy. Three more points from the Mochs finished the half. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-4(7) St. Mochtas 0-6(6).
The Barrs further stretched their advantage with 2 quick fire goals in the first quarter of the second half. The goals coming from a lovely effort from Conor Osborne after a great move and the other coming from Darren McConnon who had moved to midfield to good effect. The gave the Barrs a comfortable 7 point lead and they looked to stretch it further after a great move swept down the field and John Doyle popped the ball to Pádraig Butterly who burst through the Mochtas cover at pace. His powerful shot was saved by the Louth village keeper onto the bar and McConnon was unlucky not to flick the ball to the net for his hat trick. This gave the Mochtas a new lease of life and they reponded when Declan Byrne flicked the ball into the net after a long ball into the square. A low kick out was gathered by the Mochtas attack and they ran at the Fnbarrs defence to score another goal to reduce the lead to 1. The Louth village men were right in the middle of their purple patch and they scored another 2 points over the next 10 minutes. But for some good defending from the McGranes, Hugh, Colin and Patrick along with Hugh Osborne the Mochs could have been further ahead. The Togher men showed good character to come back again as Doyle and McConnon regained a grip at midfield. Another osborne free levelled matters and a well taken point from Conor Osborne but the Barrs ahed once again entering the final stages. Unfortunately it was not to be and the Mochtas scored too points in the closing stages to win a very tigh game. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 3-6(15) St. Mochtas 2-10(16)
Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Darren McConnon 2-0, Conor Osborne 1-1, Bernard Osborne 0-3(3f), Óisín McGee 0-1 & Máirtín Murphy 0-1.

Hamill opens with a fine point from play after Mc Eneaney took the diagonal pass from C Hoey but then two Gers wides with Paddy Hoey followed by brother Conal.
Blues player Judge hits first wide for home side before he hits one between the sticks wth a free to make it 1 each.
Gers get a free which Hamill converts but Blues equalise a minute later from play to equal at 2 each. Judge then puts Blues one ahead.
Great defending by Hand and Thornton and Judge misses free.
Gers guilty of giving the ball away in defence but make amends when Blues go on attack but Blues then convert free to put them 2 ahead.
Great defending by Neacy, back up the field with McEneaney on the end of a great move and a pooint for Gers. After 15minutes Blues 0-04 Gers 0-03.
Judge puts Blues two and then 3 clear before Hamill pulls one back for Visitors.
Gers giving the ball away in attack and Blues go back down the field with the home side capitalising with a point to make it a 3 point game.
Gers guilty of poor ball handling in their attack and Blues winning most of the breaks in the middle of the field.
Judge puts 4 between the sides to finish the half 0-08 to Gers 0-04.
*******
First 10 minutes of 2nd half was very poor from both sides with a flurry of wides, fouls and poor ball handling before two goals in two minutes turned the Gers 4 point deficit into a two point lead and the game came alive. First GOAL by Hamill after long pass from McEneaney then a GOAL by McEneaney to put Gers 2 ahead. 0-08 to 2-04
Gers go three ahead before Blues pull it back to 2 point game with a converted free to make score 0-09 to 2-05. Mc Eneaney then gets a fine point for Gers and after 45 minutes Blues are 0-9 to Gers 2-06.
Blues then get a point to reduce Gers lead to 2 points with less than 15 minutes to go but a C Hoey point makes it a 3 point game before Hamill then makes it 4.
Blues reduce it, again, to a 3 point game 0-11 to 2-08 and then Blues with another good point to make it a two point game with just over 10 minutes to go. C Hoey, in fine form, then extends Gers lead with point from his left boot, Gers by 3.
Great fielding by Reidy, a string of passes with Trainor on end of a fisted Goal and one of the best moves of the match. Gers lead by 6 before Trainor is on the board again to put 7 points between the sides. Score now is Blues 0-12 to Gers 3-10. Sean Thornton then puts 8 in it before corner forward Dara Hamill with final point for Gers and the game.
Game of two halves as Gers light up the game with goals in second half and both teams exchange points before Gers third goal means no come back from the homeside. First half was not the best from both sides but they both meant business in second half which made for a very entertaining display of football and a reminder that Championship is not far away. Final score Newtown Blues 0-12 to Geraldines 3-12.

Dundalk Gaels 3-13 Roche Emmets 0-1
Dundalk Gaels u12 welcomed their Roche Emmet’s counterparts to the ramparts on a lovely Friday evening for round 7 of the u12 league. From the offset the Gaels team took the upper hand resulting in some lovely interplay which would have seen more scores but for the resolute defending of the Roche rear guard especially their keeper who made some outstanding saves. Eventually the pressure paid off with some fine scores registered courtesy of Ciaran Walsh and Liam O’Connor, their hard working half forward line. It was the turn of full forward Ryan Coleman to add further to that tally and although the Gaels were well on top Roche always looked dangerous when they counter attacked. This meant the Gaels defence had to be on their toes but with the half back line of Daniel Brogan and Cian Walsh impressive in their reading of the game and their interventions supported impressively by the full back line of Jack Mullen and James Haughey winning plenty of ball their keeper Preston Keating was well protected. This left the score at half time 3-4 to 0-1 in favour of the home team. The second half again saw the Gaels take up where they left off with everyone to a man fighting for every ball and making it difficult for the Roche team to make any gains. In fairness to Roche they never gave up and consistently threatened the Gaels goal and but for a bit more rub of the green would have had more scores on the board. The Gaels midfield of Conal O’Callaghan and Oran Mulligan were relentless in work rate, Robert Kilgallon excelled in his vision and distribution with Oisin Woods winning plenty of possession and using it well. Conor Weir up forward and Patrick Curley in defence adding further to the teams efforts when they were introduced but altogether a strong and skillful all round team performance by the home team. Roche for their part had plenty of fine footballers on display and could have had a lot more on the score board if chances were taken. A great game played in the right spirit by both teams.
Gaels Team: Preston Keating, James Haughey, Jack Mullen, James Haughey, Daniel Brogan, Robert Kilgallon, Conal O’Callaghan (0-1), Oran Mulligan (0-1), Oisin Woods, Ciaran Walsh (1-2), Liam O’Connor (1-6), Ryan Coleman (1-2), Conor Weir (0-1), Patrick Curley

Gaels travelled to Ardee to face the Marys in the final round of the Division 1 Minor League on Monday night.
The Gaels started the game very brightly and learned the lessons from the poor first half the previous week against the Martins. Liam Lynch and Christopher Sweeney got the Gaels off to a great start with well taken points. The Marys responded with a point of their own. The Gaels were the best team throughout the half and put the Marys defence under constant pressure. The Gaels won three frees which were converted by Lynch and Sweeney (2) but the Gaels could have scored more had they a bit more composure in front of the goals. The Marys responded with three points of their own, two from frees to leave the score Gaels 0-5, Marys 0-4 at half time.
The Gaels continued where they left off in the second half but showed much more composure in front of goals and scored ten points in all in the second half in a dominant display. Paul McCrave scored a nice free from top of the right, Liam Lynch finished off two great moves with well taken points. Sean McGuire who had a great second half scored a good point and Jordan Keating scored an inspirational point from midfield. The real star of the show from a scoring perspective was Christopher Sweeney who landed five points in the second half to bring his personal tally for the match to an impressive 8 points. The Marys struggled to score in the second half but had one great goal effort come off the bar and converted three points to bring their final tally to 7 points.
These two teams will meet against in the minor championship but for now Gaels were happy on the night to get a well-deserved win following a disappointing run of results in the league.
It was an excellent team performance by the Gaels on the night with all players contributing well but there were some excellent performances from brothers Tommy and Timmy Olowokere, Cian Kelly, Conor Morgan, Ciaran Carter, Liam Lynch and Christopher Sweeney.

On Sunday evening in the first of a senior championship double header, Division 2 rivals Dundalk Gaels and O’Raghallaighs clashed in Dunleer. With the Gaels having overcome a deficit of 8 points in their first game last week against St Mary’s to salvage a draw, tonight’s game had everything to play for. The Gaels had one enforced change from last week with Sean Murray coming in for the suspended county star Gerard McSorley. On a great evening for football, the Gaels took control of the game from the very start.
A high ball into the full forward line saw veteran Errol Boyle pluck the ball from the sky before turning and making no mistake from 6 yards out to give the Gaels the best possible start with a green flag. O’Raghallaighs responded through a Barry Flanagan pointed free before the seasoned Peter McGinnity saw his goal bound effort from 20 metres out tipped over the bar. Boyle followed up with a point from play to give the Gaels a 1-2 to 0-1 lead. Then the Sean Murray show began, first he pointed from play before raising the Dundalk team’s second green flag. to open up a sizeable lead for the blue and white hoops. The Drogheda side responded well with Moore hitting 3 consecutive frees before Murray hit 2 more from play either side of a the O’Raghallaighs first point from play. The Gaels went in ahead at the break on a scoreline of 2-5 to 0-5.
The second half began with a fine effort from full back Jamie Faulkner before this was cancelled out by another Moore free. Jason Clarke opened his account with his first point of the game which was cancelled out again by Eoin Moore. Sean McCann sent over a fine effort for the Ramparts side before Boyle added his second point from play to leave it 2-9 to 0-7 in favour of the Gaels. Clarke and Moore exchanged points before Barry Flannagan pointed the Drogheda men’s last score of the game from a free to leave it 2-10 to 0-9. A fantastic effort from captain Derek Crilly from a 45 and a huge score from last weeks supersub Kevin McArdle saw the Gaels run out 2-12 to 0-9 winners.
The Gaels must now play the waiting game to see where they finish in the group after next weeks match between the Marys and O’Raghallaighs and then see how the match between the O’Connells and the Newtown Blues finishes to determine who they will face in the quarter final stage of the Senior Championship.
Gaels: Paul Burke, David McComish, Jamie Faulkner (0-1), Eamonn Kenny, David Moloney, Peter McGinnity (0-1), Oisin Murray, Sean McCann (0-1), James Stewart, Derek Crilly (0-1), Sean Murray (1-3), Shane Rice, Errol Boyle (1-2), Sean Fee, Jason Clarke (0-2)
Subs: Kevin McArdle (0-1), Chris Sweeney, Eanna McArdle, Stephen Murphy, Conor Morgan

Senior Chsmpionship Report
On Sunday afternoon, Division 2 challengers took on St Mary’s Ardee in a repeat of the 2014 quarter final in Group 1 of the Senior Championship. Dundalk Gaels entered the game as underdogs as the Ardee men’s recent run of form in Division 1 saw them take the favourites tag. The game was a tale of two halves and after the first half St Marys were indeed good value for their favourites tag.
The game started with a wind blowing towards the Gaels goal. The Division 1 men were the brightest to start and two early points put them ahead. The Gaels responded with a point of their own from caption Derek Crilly before the games first goal arrived. Some hesitancy in the Gaels defence presented an opportunity to the Mary’s number 10 and he dribbled the ball along the ground before finishing past the hapless Paul Burke in goals. The Gaels responded well and continued to register white flags to keep themselves in touching distance of the favourites, who lost their influential number 11 to a black card following an off the ball trip on Crilly. The Gaels suffered a hammer blow just before half time though as the Ardee men raised another green flag. A high ball into the Gaels defence was dropped and it landed at the feet of the Mary’s number 18 who made no mistake inside the 14 yard line to give the Mary’s a 7 point lead at half time. The scoreline read 2-6 to 0-5 in favour of the Division 1 side at the turnaround.
The Gaels came out the second half a different side and three successive points inside the first 5 minutes showed that they would not roll over. Crilly, David McComish and Gerard McSorley all pointed to bring the Gaels right back into this championship encounter and banish the lapse before halt time which led to the Mary’s second goal. A fascinating encounter further exploded when midfielder Sean McCann received a black card from referee Donal Brady and shortly after this, both Gerard McSorley and the Mary’s number 12 received their marching orders following an off-the-ball incident. With the game in the melting pot, and the Gaels emptying their bench, one switch proved vital. It was the introduction of Kevin McArdle. Shortly after arriving on the pitch he pointed from play to bring the Gaels within a score of the Mary’s before following a mazy run, he belted an unstoppable left foot effort in the the bottom right corner of the Ardee net to bring the game back to a draw. A further point from the Gaels put then one ahead going into injury time. The Mary’s however were offered an opportunity to redeem themselves when Brady adjudged the Gaels defence to have fouled the Mary’s number 15. The Mary’s man took it himself and following the kickout, Brady blew for the full time whistle to bring an end to this pulsating encounter between two very evenly matched sides.
While the first half belonged to the Mary’s, there is no doubt the second half was the Dundalk team’s. Their battling qualities shone through in the face of adversity and a 7 point deficit. They now turn their attention to Sunday and a 6pm encounter with fellow Division 2 side O’Raghallaighs. A win will put the Dundalk side through to the quarter finals while anything else will mean their fate will in the hands of the final group game between the Rats and the Mary’s.

On Sunday morning, Dundalk Gaels travelled to Haggardstown to take on the Geraldines in a fascinating encounter which provided a feast of football at its finest. The game had 7 goals, black cards and was played in a fierce but enjoyable tempo throughout. It was a credit to both teams and their clubs.
The opening half was the quieter of the 2 but still produced 3 goals. The Ger’s started brightest and rattled off a few early points before the Gaels really got going. A high ball into the home square caused panick and confusion and Gaels full forward Stephen Murphy rose highest to thump the ball to the back of the Gers net to bring the Gaels back into the game. At the other end a great save from Brian Gaffney ensured the Gaels didn’t drift far behind. A further Mikey Burke goal for the Gaels was cancelled out at the other end as the home side finally breathed the Gaels rearguard. Both sides traded scores for the rest of the half and at half time the Gaels went in behind by one point.
The Gaels suffered the loss of the lively Liam Lynch at the break but he was replaced by the experienced Eanna McArdle. The second half was a lively affair and produced 4 goals, 3 for the home side and 1 for the Dundalk men. The Gaels goal came via the fist of Murphy again who leaped highest to rattle the Gers net. At the other end the Gers second goal came after the initial effort was well saved by Gaffney but the rebound fell kindly to an onrushing attacker. The Gaels kept piling forward and McArdle hit the post with his effort having beaten the keeper. At the other end the loudest cheer of the day came following a deft touch by a Gers substitute diverting a shot beyond the helpless Gaffney into the net. The Gaels suffered a second blow as Murphy was black carded late in the second half.
The final score was in favour of the home side with the Geraldines scoring 4-12 against the Gaels 3-8. The game itself was a great advert for Gaelic and played with a competitive edge, it was a joy to behold for all the spectators at the game. The Gaels now turn their attention to bottom placed Wolfe Tones in their last Division 4 encounter of the season.
Gaels: Brian Gaffney, Gary Shevlin, James Lynch, David Connolly, Adrian Rafferty, Conor Morgan, Paul McCrave, Ciaran Carter, Sean Murray, Niall Hearty, Liam Lynch, Stephen Sharkey, Mikey Burke, Stephen Murphy, Chris Sweeney

Ladies Division 2 League Final
St Fechins 4-10
St Kevins 2-15
St Fechins claimed the Division 2 title with a single point victory over St Kevins in a fantastic game. Having won all their games in the league it was fitting that St Fechins lifted the cup. St Fechins opened the scoring with a Louise McCullough point but in a low scoring half they were able to add three goals, a brace from Rachel Kinch and another from Céire Nolan following an excellent pass from Hayley McDonnell. St Kevins kept in touch with points from the excellent Paula Murray and a goal just before half time to leave the score at 3-1 to 1-5.
The second half saw the Kevins start at a blistering pace. A goal and three points in a matter of minutes shocked St Fechins. Slowly they clawed their way back into the game. An excellent Sara Moore point was followed by another from the hard working Catherine McGlew. As the teams exchanged points, the heat and the excitement rose. In a half that saw twenty one scores, the lead changes hands many times. Trailing by a point with five minutes left, a high ball driven into the Kevins square was finished to the net by Hayley McDonnell. St Kevins replied with three points in the dying minutes but an injury time score from Hazel Hauhgney insured the win. Proud captain Sarah Sharkey received the cup to the great jubilation of the winners supporters.
St Fechins:
Ellen Brodigan, Anna Redmond, Sarah Sharkey, Clodagh Ryan, Grace Haughney, Orla Brennan, Katie Flynn, Rebecca Howel, Roisín Kavanagh, Hayley McDonnell, Catherine McGlew, Céire Nolan, Hazel Haughney, Rachel Kinch, Louise McCullough. Subs: Sara Moore, Rachel Beirth, Jenny Mulrey

Senior Hurling League
St Fechins 3-16
Knockbridge HC 2-10
St. Fechins hurlers recorded their first ever win away to Knockbridge in Round 3 of the Senior Hurling League. Played in blistering heat, the Fechins got off to a perfect start and led by five points to one after 15 minutes through fine scores from Seaghan Conneely, Michael Ryan, and David Stephenson, while Gavin Kane posed the main threat at the opposite end of the field.
Knockbridge struggled to compete with the Termonfeckin men around the middle of the field and further points from Conneely, Ryan, Barry Devlin, Micheal Byrne and the hard working Conor Mathews saw St. Fechins open up a seven point lead, 0-11 to 0-4.
Knockbridge however showed their resilience and scored a crucial goal on the stroke of half-time to keep themselves firmly in contention. Gavin Kerrigan raced through the heart of the Fechins defence and fired to the back of the net from 20 yards.
Playing against a noteworthy breeze in the second half, St. Fechins managed to find the Knockbridge net on three occasions. Great work from Conneely sent substitute Ross Berkery through on goal, and he finished with aplomb. Berkery was fouled inside the Knockbridge box minutes later. Stephen Hackett elected to take the point from the resulting penalty.
Minutes later, Michael Ryan slalomed through the Knockbridge defence and poked home from close range. By the time Ryan dispatched his second goal from close range, St. Fechin’s led by 3-15 to 1-9, and the game was effectively over as a contest.
To their credit, Knockbridge battled gamely to the finish and were rewarded when Paul Dunne smashed how a thunderous effort, leaving goalkeeper Hackett with no chance.
St. Fechins ran out 3-16 to 2-10 winners, and will be in high spirits going into Thursday’s clash with table toppers Pearse Óg. A win would guarantee them a place in the final. Knockbridge’s league campaign has ended and they now must wait until the next round of the championship against Moninne for competive action.
Team:
Stephen Hackett(0-1, penalty); Cormac McAuley, Darren McDonnell, Robert Moynagh; Colin Griffin, Cathal Ryan, Oisín Byrne(0-1); Micheal Byrne(0-1), Donal Ryan; Liam Ryan, David Stephenson(0-3), Conor Mathews(0-1); Michael Ryan(2-4), Seaghan Conneely(0-4), Barry Devlin(0-1)

Ladies Division 2 League Semi Final – 10th July in Beaulieu
St Fechins 2-9
Glyde Rangers 1-6
St Fechins ladies maintained their 100% record in the league when making it six wins on the trot at home to Glyde Rangers in the semi final of Division 2 on Sunday morning in what was a fantastic game of football. The Fechins had already been confirmed as playing Division 1 senior football next year but were in search of some silverware to finish out the league.
Played in warm but windy conditions the Fechins playing their first game in seven weeks started very tentatively and the visitors with the advantage of the wind in the first half tore into it from the off. Glyde hit the first three points before Louise Mc Cullough got the first score for Fechins after a good through ball by Grace Healy. Glyde driven forward by Louth player Michelle Mc Mahon soon pressed home their advantage when hitting home a goal and two points before Roisin Kavanagh took a good pass from Clodagh Ryan and responded with a great point to leave the half time score 1-5 to 2 points.
The Fechins re-grouped at half time and with the introduction of three subs, Rachael Kinch, Hazel Haughney and Hayley Mc Donnell, came out firing in the second half. Despite this Glyde actually increased their lead to seven in the second minute of the half but that was a good as it got and amazingly were held scoreless for the remainder of the game. The Fechins were soon on top in all sectors with Orla Brennan, Anna Redmond, Grace Haughney and Katie Flynn now dominating the Glyde attack and Céire Nolan (player of the match) driving forward from midfield the majority of the second half was domiciled in the Fechins forward line and the pressure soon told. Catherine Mc Glew tapped over a free and this was soon followed by a brilliant Rachael Kinch goal. Mc Cullough then added another goal to level the match when tapping in from close range after Liz Sheridan forced a mistake from the Glyde defence and soon followed with the lead point.
At this stage it seemed that Fechins would coast to victory but in a rare foray up the field Glyde were denied a certain goal when Ellen Brodigan (who had replaced the injured Caoimhe Mc Quillan in the first half) made a brilliant save and the danger was cleared by the ever alert captain Sarah Sharkey. Again the Fechins responded knocking over five points in a row with two for Mc Glew, two for Hazel Haughney and one for Becky Howell to set up a final date with St Kevins next Sunday 17th
St Fechins:

Senior Hurling Championship Round 1
St Fechins 5-19
Naomh Moninne 0-10
St Fechins got their defence of the Louth Senior Hurling Championship off to an ideal start with a resounding victory over Naomh Moninne. A block down in the Moninne half back line by Fechins centre forward Vincent Hynes inside the first minute set the tone for the night, and the defending champions attacking intent showed in the second minute when Seaghan Conneely put the sliotar past Moninne ‘keeper Niall Cafferkey for his sides first goal. By the time Diarmaid Murphy put Moninne on the scoresheet with a free after eighteen minutes, St Fechins had registered 2-8. Their second goal came from a penalty when Paul Mathews was pulled down inside the large rectangle and was finished to the net by Paddy Lynch. Moninne enjoyed a spell of possession in which they scored three points. However two goals from Paul Mathews were followed by some excellent long range points from Vincent Hynes and Paddy McCormack to leave the half time score reading 4-9 to 0-5.
The second half followed much the same pattern as the first. A second Paddy Lynch goal was followed by three David Stephenson points. With outstanding defenders in Robert Moynagh, Cormac McAuley and the Byrne and Ryan brothers, St Fechins had the platform to set up lots of scoring opportunities. The Dundalk side tried to the end but were outclassed by a stronger Termonfeckin team.

Division 1 League Round 10
St Fechins 1-10
Kilkerley Emmets 0-9
St Fechins got back to winning ways with a well deserved four point victory over Kilkerley Emmets. Bevan Duffy provided the platform for the home side with a powerful display at midfield. Ronan Holcroft was also in sparkling form and tapped over two points before the visitors equalised. A long range effort from Bevan Duffy quickly restored the locals lead. Shane Lennon was always a threat and brought the scores level before Ryan Sheridan kicked the Fechins only point from a free. A low scoring first half saw St Fechins go in four points to three ahead at the break.
Playing with the aid of a breeze the Fechins dominated the second half. A brilliant Joe Corrigan point from an almost impossible angle was followed by another from the hard working Eoghan Duffy. The Kilkerley men fought their way back into the match with three points from play. For the next ten minutes the home team piled on the pressure and scored a goal and four points without reply. The goal, a penalty, was drilled into the roof of the net by Holcroft. The points, all from play, came from Holcroft, Ryan Sheridan and two from Paul Matthews. With 7 points between the teams, the Termonfeckin men looked to be pulling away, but Kilkerley never gave up and three late points brought the margin back to four.

Dowdallshill AC & GC Club Notes June
Division 3 Football league.
Dowdallshill 3-9, Naomh Malachi 2-8.
Dowdallshill recorded their second league victory of the season on Friday night when they defeated the men from Shelagh to move clear of the bottom of the table and almost assure them of avoiding the relagation play off.
In what was a good team performance, the lads let at the interval by 1-6 to 1-5 thanks to a late first half penalty from top scorer Noel Finnegan.
The visitors replied with an early second half goal to go ahead but the Hill lads responded and two goals mid way through the half from Jack McGailey and Ciaran Sheridan give them the lead and they held on to claim the 2 valuable points.
Dowdallshill team and scorers; Gary Corrigan; Emmet o Brien, Vincent Roe, Ridwan Bodunrin; Sean Duffy, Paul Flynn, Jack McGailey (1-1); Gerry McShane (0-1), Eamonn Duffy; Noel Finnegan (1-3), Robert Arthurs (0-1), Paul Gill (0-2); Paul Donaghy, Paul Delaney, Ciaran Sheridan (1-0). Subs; Colin o Hare for Paul Donaghy, George McEntaggert fir Ridwan Bodunrin and John Kerr.

Played in sunny conditions excellent for football, Naomh Fionnbarra B played St. Marys Ardee B in the round 8 of the Division 4 League at Pairc Mhuire, Ardee on Friday evening. The Barrs made the brighter start with the first score via a well struck long range free from Hugh Osborne. The Marys responded and took control with the next 4 points from play. The Barrs were battling bravely and were rewarded with a very good point from play by Hugh Osborne after a move running the length of the field from Shane O’Briens kick out. The Marys then took complete control and scored 1-5 from play without reply to take a commanding lead. Once a again it was Hugh Osborne who responded with a long range free after some good build up play by the Togher forwards. The Ardee men kicked the final score of the half, a point from play. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra B 0-3(3) St. Marys Ardee B 1-10(13).
Maybe it was the break in play, the magic water at half time, the team talk or just a bit of stubborn resistance but as the cliché goes this was definately a game of two halves. The Barrs scored first after the interval with a point from play by Chris McGlynn from the left wing to reduce the deficit to 9. The Marys in fairness continued from where they left and scored 2 more points from play, increasing their lead to 11 and things began to look ominous for the Barrs. However, the Finbarrs showed a bit of grit and character to respond with a point off the post from Pádraig Murphy. The Mary’s responded again to keep the lead at 11 points. Another good point from play from Murphy finished a move running the length of the field involving Brendan Simms, Michael McGrane, Colin McGrane, Hugh McGrane and Andy McCann as the Barrs finally started to kick into gear. Conor Osborne struck a quick fire point from the ground over the bar. The Finbarrs upped the tempo and Hugh Osborne lobbed a shot over the Marys keeper into the back of the net after a good ball in from Andy McCann. Some good defending by the Togher men repelled the attacks of the Ardee men and Hugh Osborne tapped over a 14m free after a good break up the field.
At this stage the Marys lead was reduced to 5 and the come back of the year was most definitely on. In fairness, the Marys were not lying down without a fight and scored a point from play to increase their lead once again. Back again came the Barrs and not to be outdone by his brother Conor Osborne sold an audacious dummy and scored a screamer of a goal, in off the post, from 21 metres, to put the game firmly in the melting pot. Once again the Marys broke up the field and Shane O’Brien made a great save, which was followed up by melée involving many of the players after which one of the Marys subs was sent off. Unfortunately, the Ardee men scored the next point from play to increase the lead to 4. Good interpaly between the Osbornes Conor and Hugh led to a point from Conor to reduce the lead to 3 once again. However, its was too little too late as the Mary’s tagged on one final point from a free and the Barrs were to rue a poor first half display. All players must be commended on the battling performance especially those who played when injured. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra B 2-9(15) St. Marys Ardee B 1-16(19)
Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Hugh Osborne 1-4(3f), Conor Osborne 1-2, Pádraig Murphy 0-2, Chris McGlynn 0-1.
