Sheelan Cup: We played out a draw in our last Sheelan Cup group match last Thursday night at a very cold Darver. Although short a few players it was a chance for the rest of the panel to get game time. It was a scrappy game not helped by the weather; we started well but found ourselves behind at half time 0-6 to 0-3. A couple of substitutions at the start of the second half made some difference but every time we got our noses in front we could not hang on to the lead. Two points down going into the last four minutes the lads never give up and got level with time just about up. We had a chance to win it when we got a free from a score-able position but the referee decided to hop the ball because of our indiscipline, lesson learned hopefully.

Team: Stuart Reynolds; Keith Woods, Conor Byrne, Kyle Daniels; David Hoey, Salem Rifaie, Micheal Cairns; Conor Kiernan, Sean Cairns 0-1; Stefan O'Hanrahan, Dean Stanfield, Dean Corrigan 0-1; John McLoughlin, Ciaran O'Brien, Robert Quigley 0-5.
