Junior B

Our Junior B footballers advanced to a West League Semi Final after defeating St. Senan’s in an entertaining game last Friday night. Despite missing several starters from our match against Athea, we still managed to field a strong line up brimming with youth and experience led by captain Pakie Neville. The final score was 2-12 to 3-8 with both goals coming from David Holland.

Well done to all as this was a fantastic win and testament to the work being done throughout the club when missing so many players from the last day to be able to field a panel of 23 players. Our next game is provisionally fixed this Friday night against Granagh/Ballingarry in the Bog Garden. All support welcome and best of luck to all involved.

Team: Joe Guerin; Callum Daly, Paul Doyle, Caolan Rushe; John Blackwell, Roger Somers, Evan O’Donoghue; David Holland, Cian O’Connell; Jeff Duggan, Pakie Neville ©, Declan Ryan; Mike Neville, Anthony Ryan, Jamie Moran.
