Universal Graphics Junior Football Championship – last Sunday the 29th of April the Seniors fell to a strong Emyvale side. A good 1st performance saw Colm Lambe score 2 goals in reply to David Mc Allister’s brace. While Enda Duffy made a number of saves the team were very wasteful despite playing well and so went in at half time 2 points behind with the score Drumhowan 2-4 Emyvale 2-6. Emyvale started the 2nd half brightly with 3 unanswered points and while the team kept trying they couldn’t close the gap and there was always that gap and in the dying minutes of the game they scored another 3 points to leave the scoreline for the north Monaghan Club slightly flattering – Drumhowan 2-9 Emyvale 2-20
Team and Scorers: Enda Duffy 0-1 (’45), Darren Duffy, Aidan Quinn, Barry McGuirk, Kieran Mooney, Martin McElroy, Dermot Mooney, Anthony Mulligan, Aidan Duffy 0-1, Kevin Mooney, Liam McGuirk 0-1, Niall Mooney, Colm Lambe 2-2 (0-2f), Kieran McElroy 0-1, David Millar 0-2. Subs: Patrick Mulligan for M McElroy, Michael Atkinson for B McGuirk, M ark McCabe for K McElroy Ciaran Duffy 0-1 for A Quinn, Cathal Mooney for D Millar. Next game in the championship will not be to August.
On a positive note it was great to see the team so well supported and despite the poor start to the season numbers continue to be good at training so we encourage you the supporters to stick with the team. At this stage we know the standard we have to obtain.
