Under-14s Feile Finals at St John’s - Wins for Clonduff and Kilcoo
|
Under-14s Feile Finals at
St John’s
Sat 5th May
The under-14 Feile finals were held at
St John’s on
Saturday. St John’s are to be credited
for the new field development for this
allowed the A section to be played out
entirely on the new field while the
teams in the B section competed on the
top field. Thus over 150 children were
able to enjoy a game off football. Both
fields were in great condition.
In the A section semi-finals Kilcoo and Rostrevor got the
better of Mayobridge and Burren
respectively. Kilcoo overcame Rostrevor
in the final to record their second
successive county title at this level.
You will recall that last year’s magpies
went on to win the
Ulster and All-Ireland titles and this
year’s team look very capable as well.
Everyone wishes them well.
Kilcoo Team
Rostrevor Team
In the first semi-final in the B Section St John’s had the
better of the first half against
Warrenpoint but turned around with the
felling that the failure to put
dominance on the scoreboard might count
against them. An early goal after the
break reduced their fears but
Warrenpoint were the more dominance
force for periods. Had they converted
their chances they would have at least
put more pressure on the Johnnies. With
just minutes remaining, the
St John’s corner forwards combined to
get a goal and that was the death knell
for Warrenpoint’s hopes.
ST Johns Team
Clonduff Team
Saval’s supporters enjoyed the opening period of the second
semi more that the Clonduff followers.
They effectively got off to a three goal
boost – they netted first, but when
Clonduff were awarded a penalty it went
narrowly wide of the left hand upright.
Saval netted again but towards the close
Clonduff began to send out signals of
their serious intentions. They got a
goal and a point, and almost had a
second goal but the shot defied geometry
as it cannoned off both posts and away
to safety. Clonduff took up where they
had left off after the break and a
couple of points brought the teams level
again. Saval nosed a head again but
Clonduff’s attack was irresistible and
they came away as deserving winners.
Clonduff continued in that groove in the final and
St John’s soon found themselves a goal
and a point adrift. A score would have
settled the Johnnies but they were
denied that when a free came back of the
upright. Clonduff doubled their tally
before the break. The second period was
closer as the teams traded scores, but
the day belonged to Clonduff.
