U15 Championship Final 

Our U15s took on Melvin Gaels in the 13 a side Final last Sunday morning in Páirc Naomh Mhuire in Carrick on Shannon. Melvin Gaels started the game at blistering pace while we were at 6s and 7s all over the field. At half time the score was 4-03 to 1-02 to Melvin. As Jose Mourinho says it was a game of two halves well this certainly was! Gortletteragh came out a different team and took the game to Melvin Gaels. We popped over a point followed by a tap in goal. It was a 7 point game now, the pressure was mounting on Melvin Gaels, we stuck in another goal and tapped over 4 points to draw level. We pushed on and went into the lead for the first time in the game. Melvin Gaels weren’t going to lie down, they went down the field and scored a goal again to leave them 2 points up with time ticking down. As we entered injury time our lads dug deep and with a never say die attitude we won possession and with a well worked move we struck for our fourth goal and from the kick out we gained possession again and pointed to leave us two points up. There were jubilant scenes as the referee blew the final whistle. These lads have to be complimented on their performances throughout the championship campaign, not losing a single game. It was hard luck on Ryan Cunningham and Tom Crowe who missed out on the final due to injury. We wish the lads have a speedy recovery. The team lined out as follows; J Shiels, D Heslin, M Davis , A Liu Doyle, C Niblock, B Naughton, B Davis, O Heslin, N Ward , C McNulty, M Reynolds (C), R Ward , C Reynolds, Subs J Reynolds, C O’Leary, C Fanning, J Gannon, N Ryan, A Bohan, L McManus, T Crowe, R Cunningham.
