Minor: We had an excellent last quarter to overcome Tubbercurry in the first round of the A Championship on a scoreline of 1-13 to 1-9. Seamus Cawley gave probably the best display of corner forward play ever seen at underage level in Kent Park and was reminiscent of a senior player of the eighties, Eamonn Delahunt and also current county star Mark Breheny. Scorers were S. Cawley 1-6 S. Cole 0-3 C. Niland, E. Gavin, K. Coen and C. Egan 0-1 each. Niall McManus, G. O'Hehir and Paddy Brady put in fine performances. We play Ballymote/Bunninadden in the next match in late August. Training continues on Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm. We wish our U-16 county panelists well in the Ted Webb and Manning Cup Finals.
