Division 1: O'Connell's 2-11, Sean O Mahonys 0-8. We got our first win in the division on Friday evening in the Grove. A good display we were in control of this game from start to finish and ran out nine point winners. With no disrespect to the men from the Point Road we will meet tougher teams in this league. Speaking of which, the men from Collon are next to visit the Grove on Friday night at 7.00pm.

Division 4B: O'Connell's 1-8, Dundalk Gaels 0-6. We got our division 4B league campaign off to a good start with a five point win over Dundalk Gaels on a very wet Sunday afternoon in the Grove. With a mixture of youth and experienced older players, they combined well in terrible conditions for the victory. Having had the lead at half time 0-3 to 0-1, a goal in the second half along with a few nice points sealed the win.
Team: Sean Connolly 0-1(45); David Neasy, David Doyle, Emmett Byrne; Micheal Cairns, Keith Woods, David Hoey; Dean Stanfield 0-1, Sean Cairns; Conor Culligan 1-2, Andrew Sharkey 0-1(1f), Conor McGill; Patrick Clarke 0-1, Conor Kiernan 0-1, Jonathan Conlon.
