Minor Football We hosted Father Caseys on Friday evening in the first round of the premier minor football championship. A hard fought and high-scoring game resulted in a two point win for our boys on a scoreline of 2-13 to 1-14. We did it the hard way coming back from a slow start and a four point deficit to be one down at the break 0-7 to 0-6. A very slow start to the second half saw Caseys hit a goal and lead by eight points before the players recovered to swap points with their opponents and then win a penalty, which was converted by Dylan Frawley. The momentum swung our way from then on, we were on top in the middle and had a surplus of possession but had missed a couple of goal chances before Sean Moran crashed one home over the keepers shoulder from 14 yards to get the crucial score. The next round game is against Newcastlewest, with games scheduled for July v St Patricks & Na Piarsaigh. A special mention is well deserved for the u16 players making their minor debut, each of whom made a telling contribution to the second half comeback; Jake Hackett, John O’Donovan, Stephen Scanlon & Adam Storan. Team and scorers; Sean Mullane, Cathal Shinnors, Michael Fitzgibbon, Jake Hackett, Paul Hanley, Luke O’Connell, Chris Dunford (0-1), Killian Ryan (0-1), Ronan Beatty, Dylan Frawley (1-3), Ryan Minihan (0-3), Eoin Ryan (0-4), Slen Hughes, Sean Moran (1-0), Donal Brown, John O’Donovan, Stephen Scanlon, Adam Storan (0-1)
