The Under 20's turned in a solid performance with a comprehensive home win over St. Mary's in the 'A' Championship on Saturday. The foundations for this victory were laid in the first half. We went into the half-time break ahead on a scoreline of 4-6 to 0-1 and although St. Mary's rallied somewhat in the second half, we kept the scoreboard ticking over and eventually ran out convincing winners on a scoreline of 6-10 to 0-6. The team was;- Ricky Johnston, Shane Barry, Niall Brennan, Gearoid Mc Tiernan, Adrian Mc Cann (0-1), Eoin O'Connell, Gavin Mc Morrow, Joe Henry (1-1), Liam O'Connell, Brian Boyd (1-2), Paddy O'Grady (1-2), Ciaran O'Connor, Johnny Quinn (1-0), David Quinn (0-3), Keith Candon (2-1).Subs; Robert Johnston for K Candon, Andrew Nealon for J Quinn, Donal Byrne for B Boyd, Donal Carroll for D Quinn, Eoin Carroll for C O'Connor.

It was great to see Donal Byrne back in action for the Gaels on Saturday and we wish him well.

Our next game is next Sunday at home to St. John's at 2.30pm - please come out and support as we bid to get to the Championship Final.

The club wish to express sympathy with the family and relatives of Eugene Duignan, Arigna who died at the weekend and to Siobhan Hennesy, Sooey on the death at the weekend of her brother, Dermot O'Grady, Collooney.
