Senior Championship: Our seniors got through to the next round of the championship with a two point win over Latton on Saturday last. Substitute, Shane Carey was the hero on the night with a 57th minute goal to carry them through. In the game itself Latton made the perfect start and had a two-point advantage in the early stages of the first half. Mark McDevitt and Brian McGinnity points kept us in touch as Latton led by 4pts to 2 with 24mins gone. Then within a few minutes James Turley and Donal Morgan scores had the sides level at 4pts each. But Scotstown went into the break in front with a Brian McGinnity score to eave half time at 5pts to 4. It was a dogged game with hard tackling at times as both sides were on level terms on 4 separate occasions. Latton had fought back, when Scotstown were 8pts to 6 up after 40mins, with opening second half scores coming from Kieran Hughes, Donal Morgan and David McCague. Brian had restored Scotstown's lead to 9pt to 8 after Latton had made it all square once again. Then the all important goal came, which put Scotstown 3 up, with Latton replying with a point to leave the final score at 1-9 to 10

U21s: Our U21s did well on Monday last with a four point win away to Donaghmoyne. First half scores through Damien McArdle (3), Kieran Hughes (3), Daniel McNally (2), Mark Treanor (1), and Conor Caulfield (2) had set our lads up with a half time lead of 11pts to 5. In the first minute of the second half a Cian Mohan goal extended the advantage and by the end of the third quarter Scotstown were ahead 3-11 to 8pts, with goals from Conor Caulfield and Mark Treanor. Donaghmoyne had a strong finish, were they went looking for goals, Rory Beggan had denied them on a few occasions with some good saves but the home side finally did the for two goals in the remaining two minutes and possible could have had a third, only for Rory Beggan saving a penalty in injury time. Kieran Hughes registered the final point for Scotstown as the game ended on a score of 3-12 to 2-11.
