The Castlewellan Under-12 Boys Footballers travelled out to Leitrim for the third time this year and were defeated 3-14 to 1-10 in a great game of football in the Under 12½ Championship. Castlewellan were first on the score sheet with 2 well taken points from Daire McVeigh and Matthew Carville. Adam Garland and Sean Keown added further points before Ruairi McGuinness blasted the ball to the roof of the net to leave the sides level.
However, a late goal and a point saw Leitrim with a 4 point lead at half time. Matthew Carville, Sean Keown and Ruairi McGuinness all added further points in the second half, however, Leitrim’s strength saw them run out winners in an end to end game of football. Adam McAleese was in outstanding form, turning defence into attack at every opportunity.
Matthew Carville and Adam Garland worked tirelessly at midfied and up front Sean Keown and Ruairi McGuinness were in fine scoring form. Team: Cahal Caldwell, Daniel Cunningham, Ryan O’Rourke, Niall Garland, Adam McAleese, James McAleenan, Callum McKibben, Adam Garland (0-1), Matthew Carville (0-4), Conor Keenan, Sean Keown (0-3), Philip Maguire, Brian Brannigan, Daire McVeigh (0-1) , Ruairi McGuinness (1-1), Ethan Aulds, Cleveland Boyle, Ruairi Feenan, Callum McCabe, Jordan Valentine.
The Under-10 Hurlers had a great 30 point win over Carryduff last week. It was a great work out for the young lads Mathew McCabe was proving to be a “chip of the old block” scoring 6 goals. Did Ciaran ever score six goals in a game? In fairness to Carryduff they were very short of a lot of their players. In true sporting tradition some of our boys played for Carryduff. Playing the game is more important and it was good everyone got a run out. Well done to Dara Rodgers for scoring for Carryduff. It was a disappointment for the lads at the weekend as their Hurling Blitz in Bredagh was also a victim of the poor weather.

Our Senior Footballers had a good win over Clann Na Banna on Sunday past with a winning score line of 2-16 to 1-10. Having already qualified for the League Final, it is now about getting good competitive football in preparation for whoever our opponents will be. It was a good workmanlike performance with a good work rate from the lads. Our last league Game will be against Ballymartin who have qualified for the IFC Final. This will also be a stern test.
