An Riocht Under elevens played a friendly in Warrenpoint on Sunday morning past. Both teams enjoyed a good share of possession with the point boys making it show on the scoreboard despite some brilliant saves by Niall Murnion in the first half and Aidan Mc Veigh in the second.

An Riocht got better as the game progressed though Warrenpoint sportingly used several subs in the second half. Eoghan Phillips at full back, James Reilly and William Campbell were prominent in defence. Philip Murnion and Ryan Donnelly tried hard at midfield on a very long pitch.

In attack James Mc Culla, Andrew Mc Allister and Gareth O'Neill all pitched in with second half scores as An Riocht rallied to finish the wrong side of a 6:1 to 4:2 scoreline.

Our wing backs Ronan Mc Alinden and Ryan White gave outstanding displays throughout the match intercepting Warrenpoint passes and setting up An Riocht attacks.

All in all this was an encouraging display and if the boys put the work in during the winter they can improve further.
