Ballycumber GAA Club.

Division 4 Football semi final.

Gracefield 4-9   Ballycumber 1-12.

The concession of two goals and one point in the first six minutes left Ballycumber playing catch up for the remainder of the game played in Geashill on Friday night. Gracefield added two more goals while wind assisted to leave the half time score at 4-6 to 1-4. Andrew Grennan scored the goal and Conrad Casey and Peter Dunne added two points each. A much improved performance from Ballycumber in the second half helped reduce the deficit but they could not get through for the goal they needed. Peter Dunne scored three points, Conrad Casey added two, Leo Guinan kicked two long range points and Colin Daly came up from half back to start the scoring in the second half. The defence restricted Gracefield to three points and were helped by a wonderful save from a penalty by Kyle Cornally.

Team. Kyle Cornally, Jack Quinn, Aaron Daly, Alan Flanagan, Colin Daly, Brian Halligan, David Ayres, Tom Corcoran, Michael Egan, Peter Dunne, Mel Guinan, Andrew Grennan, Kevin Kelly, Lorcan Halligan, Conrad Casey, Leo Guinan, John Corcoran, Peter Flynn.

Minor A Football Championship.

Ferbane Belmont 0-10   St Manchan Gaels 0-7.

Having travelled half way across the county to Geashill on Wednesday, both teams deserve the height of praise for the standard of football they produced on a miserable wet and windy night. Because of the conditions scores were hard to get and a half time score of 0-6 to 0-3 in favour of Ferbane Belmont was a fair reflection of the game as FB  had missed the target more often than " the Gaels". With twenty minutes of the second half elapsed, the sides were level at 0-7 each. An injury to Sean Farrell removed one of St Manchans most dangerous forwards. It was disappointing that the game was allowed to continue while Sean was being attended to on the pitch. Ferbane Belmont scored three points in the final minutes to book their place in the county final against Edenderry on Sunday next.
