Sarsfields 1-10 v Shane O'Neills
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.

However, these proved to be their last scores of the
half as the Shanes scored a further four points with

by the Shanes forwards which prevented Clonmore from
clearing their lines. With the Shanes now six to the
good further points from Brendy Mackin, Paul Donegan
and Raymie Fitzpatrick put them in total command of
the game. Clonmore replied with a decent point before

0-06
Belleek opening the scoring with a well taken point
with Neil Paul Lennon replying for the Shanes with
a pointed free. A Paddy Gregory point put the Shanes
ahead but Belleek equalised soon after and they went
minutes later with their third point of the game.
A second pointed free Neil Paul Lennon brought the
sides level again but it was Belleek who went ahead
again with another point with the first-half almost
over. However, it was the Shanes who went into the
half-time break two points to the good following a
goal from Micheál Brady when a high ball into
the Belleek goalmouth wasn’t dealt with properly
and Micheál was on hand to fist it to the net.
The Shanes began the second-half with two quick points
to increase their lead to four, the scores coming
from Micheál Brady and Paddy Doran but Belleek
replied with two points of their own to keep them
right in the game. However, these scores proved to
be their last of the game as the Shanes eventually
took control and scored a further five points without
reply. Peter O’Brien got the first of these
with Neil Paul Lennon following with his third of
the game before Brendy Mackin fired the ball over.

of the match before James Lennon completed the scoring

Our senior team recorded another all important win
on Sunday with a three point win away to An Port Mor,
1–08 to 1–05, in what was a tough and
physical game. The Shanes were playing into a strong

Shane O'Neills 1-16 v Annaghmore
0-14
Annaghmore made the better start to the game, scoring
three points early on before Dan Fearon replied for
the Shanes. A pointed free put Annaghmore three ahead
again before Peter O’Brien began the Shanes
comeback with two great individual points, taking
on the Annaghmore defence on both occasions before
taking his scores. A free from Neil Paul Lennon brought
the Shanes level before Sean Austin put the Shanes
ahead for the first time with a well taken point and
Raymie Fitzpatrick increased the lead with another
great point. Annaghmore levelled the game again soon
after with two quick points but Paddy Gregory restored
the Shanes lead with a fisted point after a bit of
a scramble in the Annaghmore goalmouth. However, it
was Annaghmore who went into the half-time in front
with two unanswered just before the break.
A Neil Paul Lennon free early in the second period
levelled the game once more before Raymie Fitzpatrick
gave the Shanes a three point lead when calmly finished
to the Annaghmore net after their keeper made a great
save from Paddy Doran. Both sides then swapped a couple
of points each, the Shanes scores coming from Paul
Donegan and Brendy Mackin and two further points from
Micheál Brady and Neil Paul Lennon put the
Shanes five up. Annaghmore kept themselves in the
hunt with another well worked point but the Shanes
kept pushing forward and registered another two quick
points from Neil Paul Lennon and Brendy Mackin. A
pointed free from Annaghmore was quickly cancelled
by a Paddy Doran point but the away side kept plugging
away and tagged on another two points before the end
of the game with Neil Paul Lennon getting the Shanes
final score with another great point from the dead
ball, to leave the Shanes winners on a score-line
of 1 – 16 to 0 – 14.

O'Neills 2-18
Raymie Fitzpatrick got the Shanes off the mark with
a great point, winning the ball direct from the kick-out
before driving the ball over to set the Shanes on
their way. Paddy Gregory and Brendy Mackin extended
the Shanes lead with well taken scores before Neil
Paul Lennon notched up his first point of the game.
A pointed free from Peter O’Brien put the Shanes
six points ahead and Lee Lennon made that seven soon
after with a good point. The Shanes almost managed
to keep their opponents scoreless in the first half
but Eire Óg got the last score of the half
with a decent point.
Lee Lennon was the first on the score-sheet early
in the second-half with a well worked point before
Damian Brady popped up from full-back to collect a
great ball from Paul Donegan and slide it into the
Eire Óg net. Eire Óg replied with a
goal of their own but Brendy Mackin responded for
the Shanes with a great point off the outside of his
right boot. Points from Micheál Brady, Raymie
Fitzpatrick and Neil Paul Lennon kept the score-board
ticking over before brilliant ball from Decky McDonald
found Raymie Fitzpatrick on the edge of the small
square and he duly fisted the ball to the back of
the net. The Shanes were in total control now and
further points from Paddy Gregory and Donal Feely
put the sixteen points ahead before Eire Óg
scored two points in a row to reduce the arrears slightly.
The Shanes finished the game in great style, scoring
a further four points with out reply, one from Donal

Collegeland 0-06 v Shane
O'Neills 0-13
The Shanes began the game in great fashion and soon
found themselves three points to the good with the
scores coming from Raymie Fitzpatrick (2) and a free
from Neil Paul Lennon. Despite conceding the early
scores Collegeland fought their way back into the
game and they themselves scored three points in a
row to bring them level. Micheál Brady put
the Shanes back in front with a well taken point following
some good work by Brendy Mackin and it was Mackin
himself who got the next point, firing over following
some good ball retention by the Shanes. A free from
Peter O’Brien was the final score of the half
and saw the Shanes lead by three at the break.
Brendy Mackin increased the Shanes advantage to four
with a well taken point early in the second-half before
Collegeland scored two in a row to leave just two
between them. However, the Shanes hit a bit of a purple
patch and scored five points in a row to all but seal
the victory. Paddy Gregory got the first of these
points before Neil Paul Lennon stroked over a free
following a foul on Peter O’Brien, the impressive
Paul Donegan chipped in with a point with Paddy Gregory
and Peter O’Brien grabbing a further point each.
Collegeland replied with a point late on but it was
Micheál Brady who got the last score of the
contest, clipping the ball over from a very tight
angle to leave the final score 0 – 13 to 0 –
6 in favour of Shane O’Neills.

another point before Brendy Mackin put the Shanes
six ahead again when he cut in from the side-line

before finding Micheál McKeown who stroked
the ball confidently over the bar. Two points in a
row from Middletown saw them lead by one again before

taken free. Middletown went in front again with another
good point but another Neil Paul Lennon free made
the game all square for the sixth time. Middletown
then hit the Shanes with a sucker-punch when they
broke forward and drove at the heart of the Shanes
defence and finished the ball to the back of the net.
Another free from Neil Paul Lennon brought the Shanes
back to within two but Middletown got the last point
of the contest to win by three, 1 – 9 to 0 –

Clonmore 0-03 v Shane O'Neills
2-16
The sides were level early in the game at two points
a piece with Peter O’Brien and Donal Feeley
the early scorers for the Shanes. However when Brendy
Mackin fisted over the Shanes third point they never
looked back and went on to total dominate the game.
The Shanes midfield was working brilliantly and the
half-forwards were picking up a lot of break ball
and the next two points came this way with Peter O’Brien
and Paddy Gregory the scorers. Lee Lennon was the
scorer of the next point when good vision from Micheál
Brady found young Lennon who slotted the ball over.
Great work from corner-back David Boyle began the
move which led to the next score and Paddy Gregory
getting his second point. A pointed free from Brendy
Mackin saw the Shanes lead by seven at the break,
0 – 9 to 0 – 2.
The Shanes began the second-half in blistering fashion
and a monster point from young Peter O’Brien
put the Shanes ten points to the good. Decky McDonald
got the next Shanes score when his goal bound shot
was tipped over the bar by the Clonmore keeper. Brendy
Mackin scored the next two Shanes points, one following
a great move the length of the field with the second
coming from a free. Paddy Gregory then registered
the first Shanes goal when he was on the end of a
flowing move, once again started by David Boyle, with
Gregory slotting the ball under the body of the opposition
keeper. Decky McDonald followed this up with the Shanes
second goal when collected the ball from Peter O’Brien
before blasting the ball to the roof of the Clonmore
net. Paddy Gregory registered another Shanes point
before Clonmore got their solitary score of the second-half.
The Shanes kept pushing right to the end and further
a point each from Decky McDonald and Peter O’Brien
saw them record a comprehensive victory, 2 –
16 to 0 – 3.

Our seniors took on Belleek in a particularly tough

injury to Neil Paul Lennon resulted in the referee
abandoning the game with time almost up and with the

Shane O'Neills 2-16 v An
Port Mór 1-02
Peter O’Brien opened the scoring for the Shanes
early on with a pointed free before a good save from
the An Port Mór keeper denied Decky McDonald
a certain goal. Paddy Gregory got the second point
of the game when a long kick-out from the Shanes keeper,
Eric Casey, was well fielded and played forward quickly
allowing Gregory to slot the ball over. A Neil Paul
Lennon free put the Shanes three up but the sides
were soon level when an uncharacteristic mistake in
the Shanes defence allowed An Port Mór in for
a goal. A pointed free from the visitors saw them
take lead but this proved to be short lived as Paddy
Gregory got his fist to a long ball to flick it over
the bar and bring the Shanes level. The home side
hit the front again soon after when Peter O’Brien
collected the ball wide on the left before travelling
forward and driving the ball over the bar. The Shanes
registered their first goal of the game, and indeed
of the season, from the penalty spotwhen Decky McDonald
was upended by the An Port Mór keeper and Raymie
Fitzpatrick coolly dispatched the resulting penalty
to the back of the net. With the half almost over
Neil Paul Lennon chalked up his second point of the
game when he collected a ball from his younger brother
Lee before turning and putting the ball over with
his left foot to give the Shanes a five point lead
at the interval.
An early free from Neil Paul Lennon at the beginning
of the second-half was quickly followed by the home
side’ second goal. A long ball from midfielder
James Lennon was palmed down by the An Port Mór
right into the path of the in rushing Lee Lennon and
he made no mistake from close range. By this stage
the Shanes were playing with great confidence and
this was underlined with a great point from Peter
O’Brien and another from Paddy Gregory who managed
to squeeze the ball over the bar from a ridiculously
tight angle. A rare forage by An Port Mór into
the Shanes half resulted in them getting their third
and ultimately final score of the game with a point
from a free. Neil Paul Lennon quickly cancelled this
out with his fourth point of the game before the same
player tagged on another point, this time from a free
after his brother Lee was fouled as he bore down on
goal. A point from Paddy Gregory pushed the Shanes
lead out to thirteen points beforeanother free from
Neil Paul Lennon kept the score-board ticking over.
By this stage the result was completely beyond doubt
but the Shanes kept driving on and Lee Lennon registered
another great point following some good work by Conor
O’Neill, another talented young player who was
making his senior debut on Friday evening. With time
almost up the Shanes managed to tag on another two
points, one from Pete O’Brien who cut in front
the left-hand side before fisting the ball over the
bar with final score coming from the boot of second-half
substitute Donal Feeley to leave the final score Shane

Armagh Division III - Sunday
18th April 2010
Annaghmore 1-04 v Shane O'Neills
0-14
Neil Paul Lennon got the ball rolling for the Shanes
in the opening the minutes with a lovely right footed
point before Raymie Fitzpatrick followed with a great
point with the outside of the boot. The Shanes started
the game in great fashion and weren’t allowing
their opponents any time on ball and their next point
came from some great hassling from Kieran Murphy which
resulted in a Shanes free which Paddy Gregory dispatched
over the bar from away out on the side-line. Another
Shanes free resulted in Raymie Fitzpatrick finding
Lee Lennon who turned and put the bar over the bar
to the Camlough side four points in front. Annaghmore
reduced the lead with two quick points, one from a
free, before James Lennon got his side’s fifth
point of the half with a great long range effort.
The Shanes were dominant all over the field now and
the early ball into the forward line was causing all
sorts of problems for the Annaghmore defence, which
resulted in themfouling their opponents and Neil Paul
Lennon took full advantage when fired over two frees
in a row. Annaghmore replied with a free of their
own before Neil Paul Lennon scored his fourth point
of the half from another free to leave the Shanes
five points to the good at the break, 0 – 8
to 0 -5.
The Shanes began the second-half were they left off
in the first and it was that man Lennon on the score-board
again when he collected a short free and put the ball
over the bar. The Annaghmore defence grew more undisciplined
as the game wore on and the Shanes continued to punish
them from the placed ball with Neil Paul Lennon adding
a further two points and Pete O’Brien getting
another one from a tight angle away out on the left.
At this stage in the game the Shanes were nine points
in front but Annaghmore reduced the arrears to six
when they registered the only goal of the game. Following
their goal the home side tried to rally and get themselves
back into the game but the Shanes defence stood firm
and another Lennon free put them seven ahead and young
Declan McDonald increased this to eight when he put
the bar over from close range following a great save
from the Annaghmore keeper denying Lee Lennon a well
deserved goal. Annaghmore got the lastpoint of the
game but by then the Shanes had the points wrapped
up and ran out deserving winners on a score-line of
0 – 14 to 1- 4.

Armagh Division III - Sunday
11th April 2010
Shane O'Neills 0-12 v Eire
Og 1-06
In the opening minutes both sides were understandably
a bit rusty and it took a pointed free from Peter
O’Brien to get the Shanes up and running. However,
the Shanes soon found themselves two points in arrears
when a mix-up in their goalmouth allowed Eire Óg
to scramble the ball to the net. Another two frees
from Eire Óg saw them edge four points ahead
but these proved to be their last scores of the half
as the Shanes upped their game and took a firm grip
on the match. A great left foot point from Peter O’Brien
got the Shanes going before Neil Paul Lennon pointed
a free to leave two between them. Paddy Gregory reduced
the arrears to a single point with another well taken
score before another Peter O’Brien free brought
the sides level. Paddy Doran put the Shanes in front
when he drove forward from his half-back berth to
confidently strike the ball over the bar and Kieran
Murphy added another Shanes point when he beat his
man before driving theball over from a very tight
angle.
Eire Óg made a great start to the second-
half and soon found themselves back on level terms
with two pointed frees and another free saw them wipe
out their half-time deficit to lead by a point. They
had a couple of chances to increase their lead but
they only managed to tag on another point before a
long range score from big midfielder James Lennon
brought the Shanes back to within a point. This score
seemed to lift the Shanes and Kieran Murphy got his
second point of the game to bring the sides level
once more. Having scored a monster point moments earlier,
James Lennon put the Shanes in front when he was on
the end of another good move to slot the ball over
the bar before his younger brother, Neil Paul, put
the home side further ahead when he finished off a
great move which began in our own half-back line with
Peter O’Brien making a great interception before
surging forward to set up the score. Full forward
Paddy Gregory rounded off the scoring forthe Shanes
with his second point of the match to leave the final
score 0 – 12 to 1 – 6 in favour of the
Shanes.
