Annaclone Notes 17th May - South Down Sevens

---

South Down sevens

Annaclone seniors went to Derrylecka for the Feis Sevens on Sunday and came home with the trophy. Clonduff were disposed off in the first game and Ballymartin suffered the same fate in the second game. The semi-finals threw up Rostrevor and another fine performance saw the ‘clone advance to the final against Attical. The team looked extremely tired by this stage and with two less games under their belt Attical looked clear favourites. Annaclone dug deep and with time running out the scores were level until Martin McAleenan stepped up with a captain’s score to win by the bare minimum. The management team of Cathal Murray and Michael Farrell had highlighted the tournament as a priority this year and the team thoroughly prepared for it and always believed they were there to win it.

Panel: Brian McGivern, Gary McArdle, C McConville, T Pyers, M McAleenan, B McArdle, C Farrell, G Byrne, Paul Byrne & M Farrell
