Seniors

Our seniors bowed out of the intermediate championship on Sunday but not without giving first division Sarsfields the fright of their lives. The Shanes went into the game as underdogs but they put in a tremendous performance but unfortunately they came up just short, losing by two points, 1- 10 to 0 – 11.

Peter O’Brien opened the scoring early on with a pointed free before Sarsfields replied with a free of their own and they went ahead minutes later with a well taken point. Another free from O’Brien levelled the game before Brendy Mackin put the Shanes ahead with a monster point from away out on the side-line. Sarsfields were next on the score-sheet when they netted the only goal of the game and they followed this up with a point to put them three ahead. Brendy Mackin replied for the Shanes with a well taken free before Sarsfields hit three points in a row to increase their advantage with Paddy Gregory popping over a point for the Shanes just before the break.

Sarsfields got the first two points of the second period to put them into a six point lead but frees from Peter O’Brien and Paul Donegan reduced the deficit to four. Sarsfields increased their lead again with another point before the Shanes hit a purple patch, scoring four points in a row to leave them behind by a single point. Brendy Mackin scored the first of these points from a short free before Peter O’Brien and Neil Paul Lennon punished further indiscipline in the Sarsfields defence with two fine frees and Brendy Mackin scored another great point to leave it just a one point game. The Shanes tried hard to get back on level terms but it wasn’t to be and it was Sarsfields who got the last score of the game to leave winners by just two points, 1 – 10 to 0 – 11.

Overall the Shanes can take great heart from their performance but will feel slightly disappointed that they didn’t at least force replay if not win the game outright. The lads can rightly feel very proud of the way they performed against their first division opposition. However, they can now concentrate completely on their relentless drive for promotion and hopefully look forward to playing second division football next year.

 

Minors

Our minor team recorded another good victory away to Dromintee last Monday. The Shanes completely dominated the first half but they shot numerous wides to leave the game right in the balance. However they improved in the second-half to run out winners by a few points.

 

Under 16's

Our U16s took on Silverbridge on Thursday night in their latest league game and ran out winners by three points. The Shanes were well ahead at the break but Silverbridge were a different team in the second-half and clawed themselves right back into the contest but the Shanes held on to record the all-important win.

Our U12s are into the semi-final of the shield competition but the date and their opponents are not yet known. Training for out U12s continues this Wednesday evening from 6.00pm at the field.
