Raheen opened the scoring with 2 pointed frees before Walsh Island opened their account with 2 pointed frees also inside 10 mins. Raheen then pulled clear with 4 points in a row. Then inside the last 10 mins the sides exchanged 2 points apiece before the decisive moment of the game came on 27 mins when Raheen raised their first green flag when Declan Byrne won a kickout immediately punching it to Paddy Rigney who soloed into the square where his kiked shot was stopped by the keeper but Paddy managed to punch the rebound to the net. A further point each from placed balls followed before the end of the half which Raheen led by 1-09 to 0-05. Walsh Island cut the deficit to 4 with the first 3 points of the second half before Raheen brought it straight back to 7 on 7 mins as they struck for the second goal when Padraig Bracken's shot from midfield was caught by Richie Reynolds on the endline before turning and shooting past the keeper to the net. Walsh Island responded with the next 3 points in a row but this would prove to be their final score. Raheen then added another point midway through the half before wrapping it up with the final 3 points in the last 5 mins.

Both sides opened the scoring with 3 points apiece inside the first 10 mins before the decisive moment of the game came on 11 mins when Drumcullen got in to score their goal. Over the next 15 mins both sides added another 5 points each before Raheen's Ciaran Direen slotted over a free in the final min to go into the break trailing by 2 1-08 to 0-09. Drumcullen now playing with the strong wind and rain on their backs extended their lead with 2 points in the first 10 mins of the second half. Over the next 10 mins Raheen could not cut into the deficit as both sides added 2 points each before Drumcullen added another point. This is how it remained until the stroke of full time when Raheen's Gary Martin burst his way through from the wing before blasting the ball to the net for a goal.

MINOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Na Fianna Minor Footballers suffered their second defeat in their 2nd Rd of the Championship against Clara last Wednesday in Geashill on a scoreline of 4-11 to 1-09. This result means Na Fianna's aspirations of reaching the A Championship knockout stage are over for this year and they will have to be content with competing in the B Championship knockout stage. Na Fianna opened the scoring with the first 2 points inside 5 mins before Clara got off the mark to draw level. Na Fianna retook the lead before 2 quick breaks through the middle saw Clara get in to score 2 goals midway through the half to set them on their way. Na Fianna responded with their goal in the 23rd min when Dylan Hyland's free from out on the sideline was punched to the net by Ray Daly but the concession of a 3rd goal in the final min sent Clara into the break leading 3-05 to 1-05. Na Fianna again scored the first 2 points of the half but the loss of influential forward Dylan Hyland to a black card proved decisive as Na Fianna could only mange 2 more points and Clara wrapped it up scoring 1-06.
NA FIANNA: James Boland, John Cummins, Clint Horan, Peter Walsh, Adam Kelly, Colm McDermott, Sam Burns, Kevin Kinahan (0-02), Colin Keogh, Jack O'Brien, Cathal Curran, David Buckley (0-01), Dylan Hyland (0-03), Ian Buckley, Ray Daly (1-01).

U14 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Na Fianna U14 Footballers are safely through to the A Championship Quarter Finals as runners up in their group as they safely completed their group campaign with a comprehensive win as expected against DER Gaels in Pullough last Friday evening on a scoreline of 7-21 to 1-06. Na Fianna started slowly and had to wait until the 19th min to get the first goal from Morgan Tynan by which time they had also 6 points to DER's 1. Na Fianna then added 4 points before DER's best moment of the game came in the 27th min when they got a 1. 5m free which they planted in the net for their goal. This is how it remained at the break as Na Fianna led 7-21 to 1-06. The first half may have been slow starting but the same can't be said for the early second half as Na Fianna blew out any hope of a comeback scoring 6 goals (from Adam Strong (2), Emmett Curley (2), Lee Mulpeter, Mark Kelly)  along with 3 points inside10 mins to just 1 DER point inside the first 10 mins. Na Fianna were then able to use their full compliment of subs and still managed to increase their tally adding 7 points to DER's 4 over the remainder of the game.
NA FIANNA: Conor Kelly, David Carthy, David McElduff, David Boland, Jack Gorry, Aaron Flanagan, Ryan Strong (0-01), Glen Hassett (0-01), Emmett Curley (2-00), Morgan Tynan (1-00), Mikey Buckley (0-02), James Nolan, Jacob Beatty (0-03), Gavin Kelly (0-01) , Lee Mulpeter (1-05).
