An understrength junior team put in a massive shift before going down to old rivals, Gaeil Colmcille from Kells in an entertaining Junior B Championship QF on Sunday.
With 25 players already featuring in senior championship and ineligible for Junior football , this was always going to be tough ask but in the early stages a shock looked likely. Mark Savage struck an early goal and this was a lead held all the way to half time as we deservedly went in at the break 1-06 to 0-6 ahead after a terrific performance. In the second half however the Kells lads displayed their experience at this level to take command and following a goal mid-way through the second half seized control to run out 1-18 to 1-07 winners. The undoubted panel strength in depth was evident in this campaign as a second successive Quarter Final was reached. With a host of young talent coming through hopes are high that we will progress another step or two in the coming years. In the meantime a very exciting league final v Ratoath awaits with the lads promoted too to division 1 following the conclusion of the league campaign last weekend with victory over a very good Oldcastle team
.Well done to all the team, squad and mentors who did their club so proud at the weekend. A great bunch of lads whose day in the sun is surely close
Team:
Duff, F Walsh, S Crilly, R Madden, E Walsh, E Sweeney, B Mullen, S Towey, E O Neill, M Savage, J McKenna, J Bohan, J Phelan, B Kelly, J Hannan
