Junior: The Junior team had their first victory of the year on Saturday evening when they defeated the current Junior champions Bunninadden in round four of the Division 5 senior league. Yet again we field a very experienced and inexperienced lineup of old and young. For the first time this year the team got off to a good start with points from Paul Maughan and Brian Howley. Coming up to the break a good solo goal by Brian Curley gave us a four point cushion of 1-5 v 0-4. The visitors had the first two points of the half but we steadied and a fine punched effort by Ultan McGranahan put us back in the driving seat but the visitors fought back. With five minutes to go Morgan Fitzsimons scored a great goal after a strong solo run. This was a very good team performance and the young members of the team are improving with every game.
