Shane O Malley, hes from Michael Glaveys in Roscommon. Very good full back, has been living in Milltown for a while and has actually trained with them for a couple of years now. His transfer went through a few weeks ago. I wouldn't agree with him featuring in the final at all. It would be so wrong. If he had played in any game previously I wouldn't see the harm but to throw him in for the final, it would definitely take away from the achievement if Milltown won. Think of the homegrown player losing out because of this. To be honest I don't think he will feature, Milltown are smarter than that.

CBS mightnt be as strong and big around the middle as last year but solid defensively and as good forwards you will get. Edenderry had good number of the Edenderry club team that beat Tullamore in minor final last week. Charlie Duffy, Cian Mc Namee (only came on) won Leinster minor with Offaly last year.

Moate Community school eliminated from Leinster Colleges A competition this afternoon after losing an incredible game to Knockbeg Carlow. Moate trailed by 1 at the interval with Knockbeg a much bigger side, especially at midfield. Moate played some brilliant football but conceded goals at crucial stages, lost by 2, 1-24 to 4-17. Peter Tormey in charge of them and they didn't deserve to be eliminated but two losses means they're out. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2846 - 21/10/2026 14:31:50 2698125 Link 0 |

With a little over two minutes of normal time remaining on their Leinster Post Primary Schools Senior Football Championship clash in Edenderry, St. Mary's Secondary School had just scored 1-3 unanswered, and they were awarded a free at midfield, brought forward to the edge of the arc. Tony Furey stood over the dead ball chance, knowing that an accurate finish would have cut the gap to two points, and given his side an opportunity to pull a remarkable result from a game where they had been a distant second best to the reigning Leinster and All-Ireland champions. His free was well struck but got taken by the lateral breeze, swinging wide of the right-hand post, and Coláiste Mhuire, Mullingar saw out the game with tight control and clever game management, kicking injury time points from Will Scahill and Zak Bates to power across the finish line. f that reads like putting the blame for the defeat on the shoulders on one kick from one player, it's not intended to, and Furey was one of a small handful of St. Mary's players that made any sort of impression on a very dominant Coláiste Mhuire team. The Mullingar school lined out with five of the team that started the Hogan Cup final against Tralee CBS last Spring, while midfielder Pádraig Monaghan came off the bench in that Croke Park decider. Despite this, they played with soundness and cohesion, negating Charlie Duffy's aerial power at midfield while defending in lock-step to hold St. Mary's to just 0-6, five scores, in 52 minutes of action. Tony Furey hit a free and a two-pointer in quick succession before Ruairí Carroll and Duffy combined to work the ball in from the right corner and float a perfect handpass across goal, setting up Joe Furey for a fisted goal to double that tally in just three minutes. However aside from that brief flurry, and perhaps the couple of minutes before half-time when Duffy blasted over the bar and Oliver Goulding landed a majestic double, Coláiste Mhuire controlled this game comfortably, their dominance built on balance and structure, rather than the individual brilliance that one might have expected to see from prodigious Westmeath U-20 forward Will Scahill, now in his fourth year of senior schools football. t. Mary's will hope that the extra couple of weeks will stand to Cian McNamee, who was visibly hampered by his hamstring issue and not operating at full speed in his 25 minutes on the field, while Jack Kelly (Daingean) and the Edenderry duo of Noah Foran and Jack Mullen would also bolster the cause if they are fit to return for what is now a do-or-die game against St. Benildus' College. That reinforcement will be needed. After Hugo Corroon and Joe Furey traded early points, Furey scoring nicely from a tricky angle in the right corner, Coláiste Mhuire took over. A failure to clear lines let Westmeath underage hurler Ted Ahearne kick the lead point, Michael Brennan added the next, then Abdul Ogunse gambled on getting out first to a good ball in towards Stephen McWade, and lost his bet as McWade took possession and turned him, delivering a soccer-style finish past Daniel Padian. Corroon and Brennan completed a run of 1-4 without reply, and even after the Furey brothers linked up well to create St. Mary's first score in 20 minutes, the reply from the Mullingar school was simple, clinical brilliance. Tom O'Brien gathered the subsequent kickout, Seán Byrne's low ball into McWade took one bounce and sat up into the attacker's chest, and one swing of his left boot sent it soaring over the bar from 35 metres out. Duffy and Goulding (a two-pointer) made it 1-6 to 0-5 at the turnaround and that was closer than St. Mary's were entitled to be, but the third quarter was lorded by the visiting Westmeath school, who had a point from Corroon and a goal from The Downs club man Conor Cleary on the board in the blink of an eye. Pádraig Monaghan got in on the action with a score from only a couple of yards inside the arc, and a close-range Tony Furey free, earned by Duffy, was cancelled out by two more Coláiste Mhuire points in response. The brief flurry of scores from St. Mary's, particularly Joe Furey's goal, illustrated that no lead is safe in the modern game - but in this instance, it didn't take long for Coláiste Mhuire to quell that late uprising. Man of the Match Seán Byrne (Coláiste Mhuire): St. Mary's never got to grips with the best way to manage Byrne, who sat as a deep-lying centre back in front of his full-back line while also swallowing up any runners that came down the central channel. His play in initiating attacks was no less superb, as he drove forward with power and intent. Tom O'Brien, Stephen McWade and Hugo Corroon were others who had a superb outing for the All-Ireland champions, while Joe Furey and Dylan O'Callaghan were the pick of the bunch for a St. Mary's side that struggled to keep pace. HE SCORERS Coláiste Mhuire: Stephen McWade 1-2, Hugo Corroon 0-3, Conor Cleary 1-0, Michael Brennan 0-2, Will Scahill 0-2f, Ted Ahearne 0-1, Pádraig Monaghan 0-1, Zak Bates 0-1, St. Mary's: Tony Furey 0-5 (1tp, 0-2f), Joe Furey 1-1, Ollie Goulding 0-2 (tp), Charlie Duffy 0-1. 12 of Edenderry won county minor last weekend ExiledCuCu (Cavan) - Posts: 319 - 21/10/2026 14:35:22 2698126 Link 1 |

Knockbeg College unquestionably the biggest side physically I've ever seen in Colleges football. They had lads 6' 4 at 6, 8, 9 and 14 and lots of other physically imposing players in other positions. Moate played really well to combat that disadvantage, young Tooher kicked 3-4 two pointers, Anthony King Carroll, Billy Stenson, Alex Mullen Adamson, Harry Hughes all very decent for Peter Tormey and Niall Daly's side. Knockbeg will be a tough nut for any side considering this competition is played in mainly winter conditions. St. Pat's Navan considered competition favourites based on Junior two years ago, their display on Tuesday was obviously impressive as Rochfortbridge have fine players in Dean Kelly, Jack Duignan, Cian Fleming, Cian McKeogh, McGuaran and lads from Rhode and Clonard.
