Minors Edge Past Castlerea St. Kevin's

The Minor team got the year off to a good start for the club defeating Castlerea St. Kevin’s in the Division 2 League with a scoreline of 2-8 to 1-8. It was a fast paced game of football in Castlerea– with some marvellous individual battles and an overall good team display from both sides. Our minor team is managed this year by Jimmy Deane, Cathal Sweeney and James Deane. Management had a simple plan with every player given a specific role from the keeper right up to the full-forward line. It was good to welcome Shane Leydon back after injury, and he more than fulfilled his full-forward role – working brilliantly partnered with the on-fire Fintan Sweeney - scoring a tally of 2-7 between them. Another man of the match contender was full-back James Filan who proved strong and decisive in his role – a great reader of the game, and working dependently alongside him was Luke O’ Dowd whose pace was a real advantage on the day. Some of the younger players also showed what they are capable of – Keelan Loftus tipping over a crucial point at a vital stage, David O’ Dowd battling midfield with his counterpart Fintan Kelly, while Rory McDonnell was working tirelessly in centre-field. Liam Murtagh, Dara O’ Carroll, John McDermott and Darren Conlon were stalwarts in defence and attack respectively. Substitutes Matthew Mulvey and Michael Murtagh looked threatening, while Chris Jordan was excellent between the posts.
