U14s win the
league
Congratulations
to Mitchels U14 team who last
night beat Annaderg on a scoreline
of 6-14 to 3-6.
In the process
they won the Div 3 league trophy,
emerging unbeaten after 13 games.
The team won
every league game they played,
against Annaderg, Glassdrumman,
Drumgath, Attical and Longstone.
In the final
game of the season, they seemed
rusty in the first half, finding
it difficult to find their form.
Points from Gerry Hart, Gary Hart,
and a brace from Danny Talbot
took Mitchels into the break just
one point down, and that because
Annaderg were awarded a disputed
goal by the referee!
The second half
was a different story, with the
defence just as tight, but the
forwards finding their fluency.
Goals from Jordan Coyle, Bryan
Magill and Danny Talbot, along
with a hat-trick from Gerry Hart,
sealed the victory, but it was
the 14 points (13 from play) which
were so impressive.
In the end 7
different players appeared on
the score-sheet, including Steven
Shields and midfielder Conor McCartan.
Forwards Emmet Irwin and sub Fintan
Carolan also played their part,
delivering crucial passes and
tackles. In defence, 'keeper Patrick
Sweeney was excellent, making
numerous point blank saves during
the game. He was ably supported
by defenders Conor Havern, Sean
Tierney, Kevin Thompson, Conor
O'Hagan, Conor Sloan and Emmanuel
Irwin. Other players unavailable
for the final game were John Fitzpatrick,
Kaspar Kruzycki and Shea Concannon,
who all played an important part
in the league success.
Well done to all
the players and mentors, who have
worked so hard all year!
