The seniors are now just 2 games away from returning to the highest level after their best performance of the year put them in the semi finals.

Killeevan Club Notes
We feel unfortunate not to have come away from this exciting championship encounter with a win or at least a draw.

Last week turned out to be a great one for our senior side. With a hard fought victory over Aughnamullen in tough conditions, the boys reached the semi final of the championship.

Ballybay and Emyvale book intermediate semi spots
It was a busy weekend of championship action but overall the fare an offer was somewhat mundane with the best of the action coming in the meeting of Drumhowan and Killeevan in the junior championship and Ballybay and Donaghmoyne in the intermediate championship.

Corduff recover to take victory
Corduff recovered from their defeat by Aughnamullen just six days previously to record a narrow but overall deserved victory over Cremartin in a game that produced little by way of spectacle yet was full of honest endeavour in Castleblayney on Sunday evening last.

Ballybay command victory
Ballybay put down something of a marker as far as their championship potential is concerned with this commanding performance that saw them ease to an eleven points victory over Donaghmoyne in Castleblayney on Sunday evening last

All square in Blackhill
It was sudden death for the losers in this junior championship meeting of these near neighbours and long-standing rivals but they must do it all again after they finished all square on Sunday afternoon last.

Drumhowan oust Killeevan
It was regarded by many as the most attractive pairing in the championship so far and when Killeevan and Drumhowan met in their re-arranged second round game in Scotstown on Friday evening last the game lived up to its pre-match billing.

Emyvale by the smallest margin
This was a game that produced a plethora of missed chances and one in which mistakes abounded but both sides deserve full credit for producing a stirring performance that was in the balance right until the final whistle.

Truagh win in thrilling encounter
If Truagh are to realise their championship ambitions and aspirations they will need to be somewhat more consistent than they were in this very entertaining if never thrilling encounter against Rockcorry in Clontibret on Saturday evening last.

All square in U21 final
Castleblayney and Scotstown must meet again to decide the destination of the McMahon Cup (U21 League division 1), after the sides finished level of at the end of what was overall a fairly disappointing affair in Emyvale on Saturday afternoon last.

Intermediate Football Championship: We took on Cremartin in the Championship last Sunday evening. Corduff went ahead early on thanks to some free taking from Mark Gilsenan in the 1st, 7th and 13th minute.
