Minors:
The minors took on Cremartin last week. They came out on top with all players putting in a great effort and earned another convincing win. There will be a break for exams giving time for all the injuries to heal and having a full squad when they return they will be hard to beat.
Seniors:
The Senior men welcomed Tyholland to Corduff on Sunday for Round 7 of the Monaghan Electrical Intermediate League. With the wind on their backs Corduff dominated the opening exchanges and had a very impressive first half . By the interval Corduff had a numerical advantage of 3-9 to 2-4 with both teams after scoring a penalty in the dying moments before the interval.
Corduff opened the second half by scoring 2-01 in the first 10 minutes. However they were held scoreless by Tyholland for 21 minutes while Tyholland kept adding to their tally and reducing the arrears but Corduff had enough work done to ease to victory on a massive score of 5-11 to 2-13. Well done to all involved.

The Junior Bs were in action against Inniskeen last night. They will be back in action on Saturday in the quarter final of the Crawley Cup Championship against Carrick at 7pm in Corduff. This fixture has to be confirmed and will be posted on Facebook and Twitter.
Ladies:
Minors:
Corduff Ladies Minor team made the journey to Inniskeen last Wednesday and made a winning start to their Minor League campaign.
In what was a great team performance Corduff was first on the scoreboard in the second minute. This set them up and from the kick outs to midfield to the attackers they totally dominated the first half holding Inniskeen scoreless from the 8th minute. Corduff went in at the interval ahead on a score of 1-6 to 0-2.
Corduff resumed the 2nd half where they had left off before the interval by once again dominating play. With Alana Kernan pulling off some brilliant saves along with her well placed kick outs and the defenders Eibhlin Clinton,Niamh Callan,Sadhbh Cassisy,Dearbhla Callan and Aoibheann Farrelly setting up a line of defence they made it difficult for Inniskeen to penetrate. Inniskeen did come back into the game by adding 1-07 to their tally. However with Corduff midfield led by Hannah Finegan and the forwards Eva Woods, Elena McEnaney,Keely Mee, Jessie McMahon, Elllie Comiskey and Sarah McEnaney always a threat in front of goals Corduff added 3-18 to their tally and eased to victory on a final score of 4-24 to 1-09. Subs used Jessie McMahon, Lorna Hand and Chloe Finegan.
