An Riocht The Senior footballers played Rostrevor at Dunavil on Saturday and what an abject performance it was, offering little hope for the remaining three games. Having gone four nil behind An Riocht did well to get back on level terms before actually going one point up but with Reds backs allowed waltz out of defence unchallenged by our forwards and our defenders failing to land a tackle in our half, we were soon in trouble again and trailed 2-7 to 1-6 at the break. Despite scoring first on the restart the lack of urgency in our play actually worsened in the second half and with possession cheaply given away Rostrevor ran through for a series of simple scores finishing 4-13 to 1-11 winners in a game which resembled a cross between a training session and a sevens competition. Scorers D O'Reilly 1-0, J Colgan 0-4, J Clarke 0-2, J Cunningham 0-2, K McVeigh 0-1, P Cole 0-1, C Killen 0-1. The U14 Camogie League Final between An Riocht and Portaferry took place on Sunday.

Down U14 Camogie League Final Report An Riocht 2-3 Portaferry 2-2 An Riocht U14 camogs ended their season on a high with joyful celebrations at Castlewellan after an exciting match. Nicole Kelly opened the scoring ten minutes into the first half with a pointed free. This was followed by Portafery forcing home the first goal of the game but An Riocht hit back almost immediately when Nicole soloed through to strike the net with a low shot. There followed a period in the game when defences were on top but eventually Portaferry got in for their second goal but again Nicole responded, this time with a goal direct from a free and at the break An Riocht led 2-2 to 2-1, Nicole having contributed all An Riochts scores. On the restart scores were hard come by. Portaferry had early chances but Tara Bowater was in outstanding form in the An Riocht nets.
