LEINSTER CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP: Our Senior team took another step along the Leinster Club Championship road on Sunday last when at a damp and windy Glennon Bros. Pearse Park we overcame a determined Navan O'Mahony's (Meath) team to set a up a Semi Final clash with old rivals Portlaoise.  Emmet Og took the game to O'Mahony's in the early stages and established a three point lead after 8 minutes. However the Navan side came back with points and in the 21st minute scored and opportunist goal and despite having the majority of possession Killoe found themselves two points down at the break. Immediately after half time O'Mahony's tagged on another point to leave them three ahead. It was at this point that Killoe kicked into gear and with a total of  six unanswered points took a three point lead after 43 minutes. While the Meath champions came within a point of the Longford kingpins, Emmet Og held firm and closed the game out with a hard earned 2 point win. Final score: Emmet Og 0-11 Navan O'Mahony's 1-06.

GILMORE CUP: Congratulations to our Division 3 team on winning the Gilmore Cup Final with a 4 point win over Colmcille. This was a keenly contested and high scoring game with the fortunes of both teams changing throughout the encounter. Final Score: Emmet Og 3-10 Colmcille 3-06

This was the second trophy for this team having won the Division 3 League Title earlier in the season. Well done to all the players for their achievements. Well done also to the management team  John Reilly, James McGoldrick, Eugene Caherly and Brendan McCormack. Thanks also to Jimmy McCormack for his coaching work with the team.
