An Riocht
* Thanks to all who supported the Night at the Races.
* The U8 footballers participated in a Tournament in Rostrevor on Saturday.
* The Thirds footballers beat Clonduff at Dunavil on Sunday.
* The Senior footballers match v Ballyholland was on Saturday. This relegation contest was surprisingly open with four goals shared between the teams. Harps goaled within seconds of the start when a high ball in was turned into the path of Ronan Murtagh and he buried the ball in the top corner of the net. An Riocht battled back to keep within touch and though they never got on terms they were gifted a goal in injury time when the Harps net minder dropped a shot from John Clarke to go in only the minimum in arrears 1-7 to 1-6. A feature of the first half were three long range frees from Joe Murphy while the visitors keeper Kieran Murphy converted a forty five. For An Riocht John Clarke and Paddy Cole shared four first half points.On the restart a huge fisted point from James Colgan leveled the match but Harps soon regained the ascendancy with a Ronan Murtagh free going all the way for a fortunate enough goal. An Riocht then showed some of the fighting spirit they will require to survive relegation scoring 1-5 to hit the front. Two great frees from James Colgan, and a Kieran McVeigh point which just whizzed over the bar preceded the goal which came from a John Clarke flick into the path of Paddy Cole who ran through and beat the keeper low to his right hand post. Harps rallied and the keeper pointed again before frees from Murtagh and Mulholland suggested a draw would be the outcome but John Clarke with two late strikes secured the result for the home side.
