U14 Boys

 

Our under 14 boys won their opening league game of the season in O'Donnell Park yesterday evening against St Eunans. After a slow start the boys came into the game well and ran out 4-11 to 1-06 winners.

 

St Eunans dominated the first 15 minutes and during this time Fanad looked very rusty, making a lot of basic mistakes but some great defending by Shaun Carr, Jamie McAteer and Eoghan Logue kept Fanad in the game. Brian Gallagher made a wonderful save during this spell too. But as the game went on Fanads ball players got more involved and the lively trio of Aaron McLaughlin, James McAteer and Darragh O Doherty came into it. The teams were level at half-time 1-04 each with Ben Orsi getting Fanads goal.

 

The second half started better for Fanad with Declan Brougham and Calum McAteer getting on top of their men around the middle of the field. Fanad stopped trying to run the ball straight down the middle as much and because of this they got some good scores from Cormac Sweeney and Charlie McAteer.

Ben Orsi scored a second goal in this time too. With only a few points between the teams Fanads bench came sealed the game for Fanad with Shaun McDevitt scoring 1-01 and Cian Friel scoring 1-00.

 

Next up for this group is a home game in Portsalon next Monday night at 7 against Lifford/ Robert Emmetts.

 

Team: Brian Gallagher, Jamie McAteer, Sean Carr, Eoghan Logue, Cormac Shovlin, Ciaran Sweeney, Charlie McAteer, Calum McAteer, Declan Brougham, Cormac Sweeney, Aaron McLaughlin, Ben Orsi, Darragh Doherty, James McAteer, Theo McArdle, Shaun McDevitt, Dean Friel, Cian Friel, Dabhaid Lynch, Caolan McElwaine

Girls overcome Naomh Pádraig after a titanic battle

 

Páirc Uí Shiadhail was the venue yesterday evening for the u14 girls fixture between Gaeil Fhánada and Naomh Pádraig Muff in what was a repeat of last year’s u13B final. 

 

Both teams are plying their trade in Division 1 this year, and they served up a great battle yesterday evening. It was a point apiece after two minutes, the visitors opening the scoring and a Megan Mc Loughlin reply for Gaeil Fhánada. The hosts kicked on and hit two goals with the next two attacks, Iseult Ní Mhathúna and Emma Hunter doing the damage. Roisin Carr and Méabh Mc Ateer were showing well inside but Naomh Pádraig had some flyers in the forward line who were proving elusive, with Ava Walsh, Emily Mc Alister and Ella Costello proving particularly hard to watch. They responded with a goal and a point before Megan Mc Loughlin struck her second point for the Gaels in what was a frantic opening ten minutes. The Fanad defence worked hard with the half back line of Megan, Aoife and Mia particularly busy trying to quell the visitors attack. Méabh Mc Ateer added another goal to the Gaels tally but the visitors responded each time and hit some fine scores. The goal of the game came approaching the break. Aideen Friel did brilliantly to win the ball in her own half and fed it to Iseult. Iseult showed her athleticism by bursting through the Naomh Pádraig rearguard and finishing emphatically in the back of the net. Naomh Pádraig did respond with a point to send the teams in level at the break. 

 

The second half continued in the same vein as the first, but the Gaels were first to get their names on the scoreboard, Leah Mc Loughlin netting twice. The visitors again responded with a goal and a point to reduce the gap to two. Eva Blaney and Jessica Coll entered the fray after the break, while Aoife Carr replaced Emma Hunter later in the half. Aideen Friel and Iseult Ní Mhathúna really stepped up in the second period and drove the Gaels forward. Aideen scored a goal followed by a Rachael Friel point before Leah Mc Loughlin buried her third strike to the back of the net to open up the Gaels’ advantage. Naomh Pádraig responded with a few scores of their own but as a team, Gaeil Fhánada worked extremely hard to ensure the gap wasn’t breached. Caitlin Heraghty led by example at full back, while Aoife Shiels, Jessica Coll, Ella Mc Bride and Natalie Mc Fadden worked themselves into the ground to cover the dangerous Naomh Pádraig forward line. Leah Mc Loughlin finished off the Gaels scoring with her fourth goal of the second half when she buried emphatically into the roof of the net, securing the victory for Gaeil Fhánada.

 

It was a great battle between two teams committed to playing attacking football. Naomh Pádraig were well served by Roisin Doyle in midfield with Ava Walsh and Ella Costello very good in the forward line. 

 

The Gaels could point to a great display in the second half by the midfield pair of Iseult Ní Mhathúna and Aideen Friel, while Leah Mc Loughlin proved to be unstoppable in front of goals. The half forwards, Rachael Friel, Emma Hunter and Emma Mc Grenaghan meanwhile covered every blade of grass in Portsalon.  

 

Best wishes to Ella Mc Bride who sustained an injury during the game, but we’re pleased to report that she’s on the mend. Míle buíochas to all the parents who helped out with the refreshments last night and last week as well!

 

Next up is a trip to Carndonagh on Tuesday evening for the final group game.
