U21 Championship

St Lomans Mullingar 1.11 Athlone 4.06

St Lomans were knocked out of the U21 Championship after a four-point defeat to Athlone in Pairc Chairain on Friday night last. Four goals proved the difference particularly two in first half injury time.

It was a tight opening to the game with both team's level after ten minutes with James Cox and Ronan O Toole point scorers for St Lomans. Corner back Tristan Johnson made a heroic goal line block to deny Athlone a certain goal. The goals soon arrived however with Athlone raising the green flag twice in between a Chris Gilbert goal for the blues. Gilberts goal the result of a wonderful solo run from the wing forward. Conan O Hara and Paddy Lynam had also pointed for St Lomans but it was the home side who were looking menacing. James Cox and Chris Gilbert added points to leave just the minimum between the sides heading into injury time. Athlone added two goals in quick concession and this gave them a lead that wouldn't be overturned.

St Lomans were the better team in the second half holding Athlone to just two points scored. A James Cox free and Ronan O Toole point reduced the deficit. Ryan Cleary made a wonderful save while substitute Tristan Graham made a block both denying Athlone a fifth goal. St Lomans needed a goal to really have a chance of overturning the score but it never arrived. Points from Adam Lynch, Conan O Hara and Paddy Lynam weren't enough as Athlone finished four-point winners.

U14 Championship

St Lomans Mullingar 3.08 Shandonagh 0.03

St Lomans booked their place in the U14 Championship final with a hard fought win against Shandonagh in Ballynacagy on Saturday afternoon last. The wet conditions didn't deter from a decent game of football.

It was Shandonagh who mounted early pressure in a low scoring opening quarter. They opened the scoring after eight minutes with a point but St Lomans soon took the lead when corner forward Daniel Ojo coolly finished to the net to raise the green flag. Shandonagh responded with a point of their own but this would be their last score until late in the second half mainly due to outstanding defending from St Lomans. Finn Sheehan and Evan Johnson were the stand out performers. Cillian Browne was on target with a point for St Lomans as they had a 1.03 to 0.02 lead at half time.

St Lomans made the perfect start to the second half when Ciaran Nooney charged through the Shandonagh defence and buried to the net to raise the green flag. Eoghan Hogan and Bonvi Ndevi added points to extend the blues lead. Goalkeeper Darragh Keane made a brilliant save to deny Shandonagh a goal. Substitute Cillian Plunkett added a point while Cillian Browne also added to his tally to seal the win for St Lomans.

Team; Darragh Keane, Ciaran Smyth, Finn Sheehan, Tom Dorr, Ethan Browne, Evan Johnson, Jack Geoghegan, Bonji Ndevi, Eoghan Hogan, Cian Daly, Danny Mc Cartan, Cillian Browne, Daniel Ojo, Adam O Connor, Ciaran Nooney. Sub Used; Cillian Plunkett.
