Under 10 – Donal Powell Tournament

The Under 10s attended the Donal Powell on Saturday and with their recent form had every reason going into the competition that they

could do very well. Derrynoose were drawn in a very tough group with Clan Eireann, Mooretown (Tyrone), Wolfe Tones, Ballymacnab

and Grange. The Derrynoose lads started well and won their first match in a very tight and tense affair against Mooretown wining 4-3.

Next up was Grange and they won this match very easily (11-1). They then beat a very plucky Ballymacnab team by 6 points to 3.

The big match came against Clan Eireann (the eventual winners of the Donal Powell Cup). It was nip and tuck the whole match with

Clan Eireann winning by a solitary point (4-3).The last match was against Wolfe Tones, a match Derrynoose was expected to win

comfortably. However, despite being 2 points up towards the end of the game, Wolfe Tones scored two late points to draw the match.

It then came down to the last match; Clan Eireann had to do Derrynoose a favour by beating Mooretown. However, Mooretown man-

aged to get a draw and snatch a top 2 finish from Derrynoose based on points differential. Heart breaking for the team as they put in a

very gutsy display throughout the competition (albeit not playing their best football by any means), losing only one game to the eventual

winners of the competition. Both Mooretown and Clan Eireann won their respective semi-finals easily and Clan Eireann went on to win

the Donal Powell Cup easy enough against Kileavey. The team can be very proud of their efforts but the small pitch and 11-aside just

nullified the potent threat that Derrynoose have up front, which they have showed time and time again in Go Games this year on a

bigger pitch. Everyone gave it their all but a special mention to Jack Fox, whose ability to win his own ball around the middle and his free-

taking was of the highest order; time and time again he kicked points from very difficult angles to get Derrynoose’s head in front when

they looked beaten at time.. In the back, Eddie Mc Gurgan played well alongside the Thomas Farrell, Patrick Nugent, Ben Hughes and

Anthony Keenan who played very well. The backs done well throughout the tournament with the biggest score against the team in any

match being 4 points. In the middle, Conall Burke and Oisin Woods tried hard. Up front, they were living of scraps in very congested

surroundings but you could ask any more from Shane McGrane, Cian McMullen and Dylan Mone who all tried extremely hard for the ir

team. The subs played well when they got a chance with Maeve Lennon, Aideen Farrell, Daniel Boyle and Dylan Heavin showing well .

U14 LADIES FOOTBALL

Derrynoose v Silverbridge

Well done to the girls as they put in a

strong performance with Catherine

making some fine saves early in the

game and with her long kick outs

Eimear and Zara were able to supply

good ball to Mary and Sarah in the full

forward line both girls hitting the net

early on, with the help of good sup-

port play from Jaclyn. Unfortunately

the more experienced home team

came back into the game with some

well worked scores despite hard work

in the full back line from Shannon and

Anne. After half time Silverbridge built

on their lead with some long range

points, the Derrynoose girls did not

give up and some great direct running

from sisters Hannah and Ellen in half

back line was rewarded with a great

finish to the net by Anita. Teresa and

Eimear McKearney combined well

from a turn over ball by Emma to get

another point. Although it was disap-

pointing not to win it was a great per-

formance especially considering many

of the girls will be able to play in this

age group for another two years

Pearse Og Saturday 21st September 2:00pm

U14 Football 2013 The under 14 footballers recently completed their Division 3 league campaign with a resounding win over Forkhill. The team per-

formed superbly throughout the year, finishing in the upper echelons of the league, inflicting a number of heavy defeats on some of their

more illustrious rivals along the way. The boys also reached the quarter finals of the championship where they were beaten by

Sarsfields, a defeat they avenged in the league. Each and every one of them gave every game their best effort and it was no surprise that

their performances improved as the season went on, evidenced by their latter showings in the league. This is a very young team with

only four boys, Ronan McGrane, Emmet Mallon, Conor McGrory and Padraig Reneghan, not eligible next year. We thank the boys for

their efforts this year and wish them all the best at under 16.. The 2013 under 14 panel was: Padraig Reneghan, Ronan McGrane, Conor

McGrory, Emmet Mallon, Cormac Campbell, Dillon Fox, Dermot Lennon, Cathal McBride, Oklin McGrane’ Stephen McKearney,

Thomas McMullan, Shea McNaughton, John Joe Nugent, Tiernan Reneghan, Jamie Campbell King, John Donnelly, Owen Hughes, Tiernan

Keenan, Mark Lennon, Oisin Mc Gonnell, Sean Mc Guigan, Gareth McKee, Oisin McNally and Shane McNaughton.
