The Thirds footballers won in Clonduff.
Premier Reserve Bryansford v An Riocht
The Seconds footballers lost in Bryansford. Thomas Hughes broke the ball for Sean McArdle to goal in the first half and Conor Cole grabbed a second half goal as only one score separated the teams. Further chances fell to Diarmuid Flanagan and Sean McArdle but the home keeper saved the day for them. Jim Clarke at centre back led the rally and was well supported by Sean Clarke, Conor McVeigh and Daryl Bowater.
Senior Football Ballyholland v An Riocht
An Riocht led nine points to eight at the break as both sides made light of the games ‘starred’ status with some flowing football. Paul Murney was making some great catches at midfield and Christopher Killen was in brilliant form kicking over half his sides scores. However three goal chances were spurned. Ballyholland were not so reticent about taking their goals and had the ball in the net three minutes into the restart, following up six minutes later with a second goal to go five clear. An Riocht never produced the incisive football of the first half and after the break laboured over scores the game finishing in a 2-11 to 0-12 defeat.
U12 Camogie Liatroim v An Riocht
The U12 girls lost in the first round of the Championship in Liatroim and now play in the Shield.
U14 Camogie Ballygalget v An Riocht
An Riocht made the long journey to the Ards on Tuesday past minus a couple of the girls out with sickness. Nicole Kelly and Orla McAlinden held the midfield positions well. Beth Farrell was the first to opening the scoring five minutes into the game, quickly followed by Nicole Kelly, Sarah Carville, Ellie Hughes and Tierna Rooney each adding a goal before Beth added a further two to her tally and Orla McAlinden tapped over a great point. Aoife Mooney pulled of a number of good saves, the pick of those being a high ball in which she did very well to block down. Ellie Hughes proved herself up front while Marie Higgins was solid in full-back, along with Tara Bowater. We would all like to wish Tara a speedy recovery as she had to be taken to A&E Daisy Hill as a result of an injury. Final Score An Riocht 10-3, Ballygalget 3-1. Team: A. Mooney, M. O’Neill, M. Higgins, L. Carville, T. Bowater, O. McAlinden, N. Kelly, J. Rice, E. Hughes, C. White, B. Farrell, O. Doyle. Subs: S. Carvill, C. Connor, M. McDowell, T. Rooney and N Cunningham.
U18 Camogie Atticall v An Riocht
The Minor girls remain unbeaten after a visit to Atticall. Niaomh Mulhern opened the scoring with a goal quickly followed by points from Christina Trainor and Laura Donnelly and Laura added a second goal ten minutes in. Atticall rallied with three successive strikes on target but An Riocht finished the half on top to lead 2-8 to 0-3. The second half was much more evenly contested though scores from Sophie Colgan ensured An Riocht were not going to be caught. Team SJ Harper E Keenan L Rodgers C Fearon L Brennan M Higgins N Kelly L Donnelly E Colgan S Colgan N Mulhern C Trainor.
U18 Camogie Ballyholland v An Riocht
The busy Minor camogs beat Ballyholland at Kieran Sands Park on Friday.
U18 Camogie Sevens An Riocht v Portaferry
The Minor girls lost in the Feis sevens Final on Sunday after extra time.
Junior Camogie Longstone v An Riocht
An Riocht bounced back from the disappointment of losing in Ballygalget to beat Longstone 2-8 to 0-6 on Sunday morning. Laura Brennan settled the nerves with an early goal and though Longstone hit back with a couple of points, further scores from Sophie Colgan (4) helped An Riocht to a 1-6 to 0-3 interval lead. Longstone put on the pressure on the restart scoring twice before a Niaomh Mulhern goal re-established An Riochts superiority and Laura Donnelly capped her sides scoring with a tremendous late point. Longstone were not finished however and forced good saves from Sarah Jane Harper in the An Riocht goals and some good defensive play from Clara Killen and Marie Trainor.
*Mayobridge were unable to field in Wednesdays match.
