Mayobridge Thirds were very fortunate to gain two league points on last Monday evening after a very mediocre performance in which they squandered many chances, and it took a Niall Kennedy point in the 61 st minute to secure victory. An Riocht will rue the large number of wides they kicked over the sixty minutes.

Football Senior Continued

Clonduff seniors continue the winning run 03/05/2003
Clonduff had a valuable 1 point win at home over An Riocht on Friday night. Following heavy rain over the last couple of days, underfoot conditions were woeful at Hilltown for this Division 1 game in which most of the crowd thought should not have been played because of the state of the pitch. Clonduff - physically smaller in most sectors, coped the better and recovered from a 3 point half time deficit. An Riocht 1-03 Clonduff 0-03. Clonduff started the better in the second half and an own goal help Clonduff get on top. With minutes remaining Clonduff lead by three points, but An Riocht trough all at the Clonduff defence and if they had, had better forwards would have won the game. Final Score: Clonduff 1-8 An Riocht 1-7.
Elsewhere Mayobridge beat Longstone by 2 points, Kilcoo and Bryansford drew

Bredagh U10's make it five wins from six games 30/06/2003
Bredagh 6-9 An Riocht 3-3, Cherryvale Saturday June 28th
It's now five wins from six for a team that just gets better and better with every outing. Despite falling behind to an early goal and having a few goalbound efforts well saved by the An Riocht goalkeeper, the Bredagh boys settled into their rhythm and the scores duly flowed. Poacher supreme Brian Cunningham got the first two goals, then Niall Irwin (who had set up one for Brian) hammered home a cracker to the top of the net, Danny Nolan added two points and Tim Durkan made it 4-2 to 1-1 at the break.
A few more Nolan points and a Michael Moynagh goal put Bredagh out of sight, though An Riocht replied with 1-1. In the closing stages, Nolan was on target again and another Cunningham goal made it an emphatic win. Tim Durkan worked very hard at midfield, Declan Magee showed that his skills are now as impressive as his courage with some superb soloing, Daniel Steele deputised very well in goals and Joe Shiels was outstanding in defence.
In the subs game, the whole panel get a good run-out with Ciaran McColgan and Mark Quinn stealing the show. Ciaran's tenacious tackling was a joy to watch, while Mark sent a free to the top corner of the An Riocht net.

Three juvenile football tournaments in July 26/06/2003

An Riocht win top of the table clash 28/05/2003
AC U-16FL: Rostrevor 2-10 An Riocht 2.12
These two teams are running away with the AC U16 league and a huge crowb attended to see this top of the table clash. At times in this game An Riocht overran the Reds' rearguard and should have been further ahead. At half time the scores were level 1-06 to 0-9, with Martin Clake scoring the An Riocht goal. An Riocht as they did in the first half started the brighter scoring six points without reply. On the 53rd minute Darren Cunningham scored An Riochts second gaol to put An Riocht ahead 2-12 to 0-09. An Riocht lost their concentration in the final ten minutes and Rostrevor scored two goals to leave a nail bitting few minutes for the An Riocht side.

Penalty miss but it's all over early on 28/05/2003
AC Minor FC: Shamrocks 1-06 An Riocht 4-18
Despite missing an early penalty An Riocht settled quickly and had the result sewn up by the end of the first quarter.
Pick of the scores were an Aidan O'Hanlon point off an exquisite Martin Clarke pass, a Rory O'Hanlon goal taken under heavy pressure, and an Aidan O'Hanlon point after Paddy Cordell robbed a defender on the way out. Shamrocks rallied at the start of the second half but Rory completed his hat-trick to ensure there would be no upset.

An Riocht pull off coaching coup for underage Camogie 27/10/2003
For the 13 /17 age group things are on the up in the Mourne Area. An Riocht has pulled off something of a coup with the appointment of Ursula McGivern (Armagh manager) and Patricia McAvoy (Crossmaglen & Armagh player) to coach the Kilkeel girls over a ten week period upto Christmas.
Other An Riocht Camogie mentors have been about too as have the hurling coaches. With three weeks completed things appear to be going well with the girls and the coaches both enthusiastic and a steady attendance of twenty-five participants each night.
