Magheracloone v Latton was a good game at the weekend. For the first 15 minutes Latton completely bossed everything and were deservedly up by 1-7 to 0-1, but from that point on Magheracloone completely turned it around. They got a foothold in midfield and got serious joy running through the Latton defense with some serious pace. By half time Magheracloone we're 3-5 to 1-8 up. Latton were lucky not to have 2 or 3 red cards in the first half as well, getting away with some massive hits.

The 2nd half was more even, and Latton slowly overturned the deficit throughout the half to go a point up. Magheracloone had more goal chances but the Latton keeper made some good saves. It got cagey towards the end but Magheracloone definitely had the better finish getting the last few scores to re-take the lead and it finished 3-10 to 1-15.

Magheracloone deserved it overall as they created more chances throughout the game and I'd give them a good chance chance against Scotstown as long as they sort out the very slow start.

It's a 3rd team in name only.. I would say that 7/8 of these lads have seen senior league action this year…this 3rd team played their feeder club currin recently on the same night the senior team were playing and they kicked a miserly 4pts against currin so that in itself spoke volumes about this 3rd team and the grading etc…the likes of Mohan in goals is hardly a 3rd team player…

If he's playing for the 3rd team, I'd say that makes him a 3rd team player???

He could play for the 6th team also if he wanted

This is an interesting one. Surely for the championship they will have to name a squad? Could greatly impact their chances in Junior and I will have to revise my prediction.

By the same token, if one of them plays 5 minutes at the end of a senior game, does that makes them a senior player then??
