All County League - Friday 18th July 2008
Shane O'Neill's 2-22 v Phelim
Brady's 0-04
The Shanes opened up with points from Paddy Gregory,
Raymie Fitzpatrick and two from Darren Grant before
Phelim Bradys registered their first point from a
free. Great work from David “Chief” Boyle
paved the way for Ben Treanor to finish off a great
move by slotting the ball to back of the oppositions
net. Further points from Raymie Fitzpatrick, Darren
Grant and young Pete O’Brien increased the Shanes
lead before Phelim Bradys got another pointed free.
The Shanes were really on song now and great points
from Damien Brady, Ben Treanor, Darren Grant (his
4th of the half) and big midfielder James Lennon saw
take a commanding twelve point lead. Another pointed
free for Phelim Bradys reduced the gap by one but
Pete O’Brien tagged another point for the Shanes
just before the break. Half-time score Shane O’Neills
1 – 12 Phelim Bradys 0 – 3.
At half-time manager Marty Lynch withdrew veteran
corner-back Davy O’Brien and replaced him with
young Liam “Gunner” Quinn. Liam is another
young man who has progressed through the ranks at
the club and it was great to see him making his senior
debut. He slotted in effortlessly at corner-back and
never put a foot wrong throughout the entire second-half.
The Shanes began the second-half where they left off
in the first at it wasn’t long before Damien
Brady crashed a shot to the roof of the net leaving
umpire Peter O’Brien with no option but to raise
the green flag. Further points from James Lennon (2)
and Paddy Gregory forged the Shanes further in front
before Phelim Bradys registered their fourth and final
point of the game. Substitute Kieran Murphy then got
in the scoring act with a well taken point before
Paddy Gregory got his third point of the game. James
Lennon popped over another score, his fourth of the
game, before Kieran Murphy got a great point from
a very acute angle. The Shanes then introduced their
second debutant of the night with JJ McNulty making
his first senior appearance. JJ made an immediate
impact, laying off the ball to Micheál Brady
who calmly slotted it over the bar. With time almost
up the Shanes added a further two points from Damien
Brady and Paddy Gregory to leave the final-score 2
– 22 to 0 – 4 in favour of Shane O’Neills.

O'Hanlon's 0-07 v Shane O'Neill's
0-17
O'Hanlon's away is always a tough fixture for the
Shanes in the past few seasons but after building
up an 11-0 lead in the first half, playing down the
hill, the Shanes were well on their way to another
victory.
In the second half the Shanes defence, especially
thier full back line, were as strong as they have
been all year, while the forwards plugged away and
managed six points up the hill.

Forkhill 0-06 v Shane O'Neill's
0-08
Another vital win for our senior team on Friday night
sees them maintain top spot in the league. Forkhill
is never an easy place to go and get a win and so
it proved with the Shanes winning by just two points
0-8 to 0-6. Winning games is not all about playing
fancy football, sometimes you have to dig in and grind
out a result and that’s exactly what the Shanes
did against a very committed Forkhill side. It may
not have been the prettiest game but most importantly
it’s another two points on the board.

Shane O'Neill's 1-10 v Eire
Og 1-07
An early point from Darren Grant opened the scoring
for the Shanes before Eire Óg levelled soon
after. A free from Kieran Murphy put the Shanes back
in front but Eire Óg went ahead from the penalty
spot after the Shanes keeper, Cormac Duffy, brought
down an Eire Óg forward. Another free from
Kieran Murphy left just one between the sides again
but Eire Óg stretched their lead again with
two unanswered points. A great point from Ben Treanor
reduced the gap to two points but a point from Eire
Óg right on half-time saw them lead by three
at the interval, 1 – 4 to 0 – 4.
The Shanes began the second-half in blistering fashion
and scored four unanswered points to put them one
in front, the points coming from Paddy Gregory (3)
and Ben Treanor (1). The Shanes were really flying
now and a great ball from Micheál Brady found
Kieran Murphy loitering on the edge of the square
and it was he who rose highest to fist the ball to
the net. The Shanes could sense victory now but they
were soon reduced to fourteen men for the remainder
of the game. A pointed free from Eire Óg reduced
the gap to three points again but Paddy Gregory replied
with a free of his own, his fourth point of the game,
to edge the Shanes further in front. With time rapidly
running out Eire Óg were piling on the pressure
and two quick points from them left just two between
the sides going into the closing minutes. But the
Shanes dug deep and Brendy Mackin fired over a great
point to ensure that the Shanes unbeaten run remained
intact as they ran out deserving winners on a score-line
of 1 – 10 to 1 – 7.

Shane O'Neill's 1-16 v Dorsey
Emmetts 0-04
The lads totally dominated the game and took the
lead early on with a well taken point from Peter O’Brien.
Paddy Gregory followed up with a great point before
Cathal Murphy tagged on another. The Shanes were in
control all over the pitch and it wasn’t long
before half-back David “The Chief” Boyle
fired over another great point. Raymie Fitzpatrick
was having another good game around the midfield area
and it was Raymie himself who notched up the Shanes
fifth point of the half. The Shanes final score of
the half came from that man Boyle again as he drove
forward from his half-back berth. Dorsey scored their
only point of the half from a free just before the
interval.
Sean Austin, the other wing half-back, scored the
Shanes first point of the second-half before Dorsey
registered their second point of the game. Brendy
Mackin scored another great point for the Shanes before
Raymie Fitzpatrick hit two in a row to increase the
home sides lead even further. Dorsey popped over another
free before substitute, Kieran Murphy, added on another
point for the Shanes with virtually his first touch
of the ball. A point from a free from Paddy Gregory
was followed by a great goal from another second-half
substitute, Darren Grant. He combined brilliantly
with Kieran Murphy before rifling the ball to the
roof of the Dorsey net. The Shanes were really on
song now with the hard-working Ben Treanor scoring
a great point and Darren Grant tapping over for his
second score of the game. Two late frees from Paddy
Gregory finished the scoring for the Shanes before
Dorsey scored another pointed free to leave the final
score Shane O’Neills 1 – 16 Dorsey Emmets
0 – 4.

Derrynoose 0-12 v Shane O'Neill's
2-12
Half-back Sean Austin opened the scoring for the
Shanes but they quickly found themselves three points
to one down. Points from James Lennon and Micheál
Brady brought the sides level before Derynoose scored
another point to edge in front again. Sean Austin
scored his second point of the game before Cathal
Murphy scored a great point to get the Shanes noses
in front again. However, Derrynoose scored three unanswered
points to put them two in front again with half-time
fast approaching. The Shanes finished the half the
stronger side and points from Ben Treanor and Brendy
Mackin saw the sides level at the break, 0 –
7 each.
The Shanes began the second-half brightly and found
themselves two points up following a pointed free
from Raymie Fitzpatrick and a fine individual effort
from Paddy Gregory. Derrynoose narrowed the gap to
one with another point but a free from Paddy Gregory
and another point from Ben Treanor eased the Shanes
further in front. But back came Derrynoose again with
two points of their own to leave just the minimum
between the sides again. Raymie Fitzpatrick was now
winning some great ball around midfield and his efforts
were eventually rewarded when he played a long ball
into the edge of the square where Ben Treanor rose
highest to fist the ball to the net. Derrynoose hit
a point of their own before Ben Treanor was up-ended
in front of goal and Raymie Fitzpatrick stepped up
to dispatch the resulting penalty to the back of the
net. Derrynoose managed another point but it was Shane
O’Neills and that man Fitzpatrick who had the
last say when fired over the last point of the game
to leave the final score Shane O’Neills 2 –
12 Derry noose 0 – 12.

Mullabrack 0-02 v Shane O'Neill's
2-12
From the minute Cathal Murphy somewhat fortuitously
scored the opening goal for Shanes they never looked
back and they were 2 – 4 to 0 – 1 to the
good at the break. The other scorers in the first-half
were Darren Grant 1 – 1, Peter O’Brien
0 – 1, Ben Treanor 0 – 1 and Brendy Mackin.
The second-half was only minutes old when a very
cynical challenge on young Kevin McParland left him
pole-axed in the middle of the field. Following some
treatment for Kevin an ambulance was sent for and
he was taken off to hospital where he was diagnosed
as suffering from a severe whiplash injury. When the
game eventually re-started the Shanes put another
ten points to Mullabrack’s one on the board
to leave the final score 2 – 14 to 0 –
02 in favour of the Shanes. The second-half scorers
for the Shanes were Darren Grant 0 – 2, Cathal
Murphy 0 – 2, Micheál Brady 0 –
2, Brendy Mackin 0 – 2, Peter O’Brien
0 – 1 and Paddy Gregory 0 – 1.

League - Sunday 1st June 2008
Shane O'Neill's 0-10 v Clady
2-04
Under glorious sunshine and with Five FMs, Damien
McCullagh, commentating in the background, Clady made
the brighter start to the game and fired over the
first point. It took the Shanes a while to settle
but a good point from Darren Grant brought the Shanes
level. Both sides traded wides before a high ball
into the Shanes defence was not properly dealt with
and a Clady forward was on hand to put the ball in
the net. The conceding of this goal woke the Shanes
up and they piled forward in the search for scores.
They eventually pulled themselves level with points
from Peter O’Brien, Paddy Gregory and Raymie
Fitzpatrick. However the Shanes should have been at
least seven or eight points to the good at this stage
as they kicked a number of bad wides. Al most on half-time
Clady made the Shanes pay for their wastefulness in
front of goal when they scored another goal to leave
the half-time score 2-1 to 0-4 in favour of Clady.
The Shanes began the second half much stronger and
two quick points from Micheál Brady and Paddy
Gregory (free) brought the Shanes to within one point.
Then Brendy Mackin stepped up to the mark and scored
a glorious point to bring the Shanes level again.
Back came Clady again with a point of their own before
that man, Brendy Mackin, fired over a cracking score
to bring the sides level once more before Micheál
Brady pointed a monster score to put the Shanes ahead
for the first time in the game. The Shanes were really
on top now and only fine save from Clady keeper preventing
them from going further in front. This save seemed
to inspire the Clady side and they scored two unanswered
points to lead by one again. With only minutes remaining
the Shanes had a number of chances to draw level again
but these were missed but, with virtually the last
kick of the game Brendy Mackin fired over a free from
right on the 45 yard line. Then referee, Jim Burns,
blew his whistle to call a halt to an enthralling
game with the sides’ level, Shane O’Neills
0-10 Clady 2-4.

Shane O'Neill's 3-16 v Corrinshego
1-04
The Shanes began the game brightly and were soon
five points to the good with a point a piece from
Peter O'Brien, Neil Paul Lennon, Brendy Mackin and
two from the trusty boot of Micheál Brady.
The Shanes continued to play the better football and
they increased their advantage to eight points when
Paddy Gregory blasted to the back of the net following
some good work from Raymie Fitzpatrick. Neil Paul
Lennon followed this up almost immediately with another
great goal after he collected a brilliant ball from
Darren Grant. The Shanes then went to sleep slightly
and let Correnshigo in for a quick goal and a point.
However these proved to be their only scores of the
half as the Shanes rattled off another five answered
points before the break with the scores coming from
Ben Treanor, Paddy Gregory, Neil Paul Lennon, Peter
O'Brien and Micheál Brady.
The Shanes began the second half where they left
off in the first with a brilliant goal from Ben Treanor
following some great work by Kevin McParland in the
half-back line. Raymie Fitzpatrick tagged on another
point before Correnshigo scored two points of their
own. Neil Paul Lennon added another point for the
Shanes before Correnshigo tapped over for another
point of their own. The Shanes finished the game well
on top and scored a further four points without reply
with the scores coming from Neil Paul Lennon, Donal
Feely, Sean Austin and Kieran Murphy. Full Time: Shane

Shane O'Neill's 3-15 v Forkhill
1-08
It was perfect conditions in Pairc Sheáin
Uí Néill for the visit of Forkhill.
The game started off at a quick pace, and while the
Shanes had the most of the possession they did not
capitalise and it was Forkhill who came up with the
first point of the game. The Shanes replied with a
well taken point from the left boot of Míchéal
Brady, only for Forkhill to go ahead with another
point. That was too be their last score of the half
because the Shanes stepped up a gear with the defence
keeping the visitors at bay and the Shanes forwards
running riot. A few well taken points and goals from
Raymie Fitz, Paddy Gregs and a screamer from Brendy
'The Future' Mackin put the Shanes well in the lead
and control of the game.
The second half began with a score for Forkhill,
showing they weren't ready to lie down. This half
was much tighter with both teams trading points until
Forkhill grabbed a goal from a mistake in the Shanes
defence. The Shanes never put the head down and kicked
over another few points. The scoreline could have
been a lot closer if not for the two reaction saves
from Shanes goalkeeper Cormac Duffy in the latter
stages of the game. Final Score: Shane O'Neills 3-15
Forkhill 1-08.

Boyle Transport All County
League - Saturday 3rd May 2008
Phelim Brady's 1-07 v Shane
O'Neill's 3-13
Playing against a gale force wind in the first half,
the Shanes struggled to get the ball out of defence
and into the forward line. As a result of this, and
a few debatable referreeing decisions, the boys conceded
seven points in the first 30 minutes to a much improved
Phelim Bradys team than recent years. Although when
the ball was put into the forwards, the flare of previous
games was clearly visable. A few good runs from Dan
Fearon in half back and 'Man of the Match' Mícheál
Brady resulted in a goal a piece and a goal for the
ever aware Ben Treanor. Half Time Phelim Bradys 0-07
Shane O'Neills 3-03.
The second half began much like the first with the
team, this time Phelim Bradys, against the wind struggling
to work the ball out of defence and create any scoring
opportunities. On the other hand, some great defending
in the full back line, accompanied with some great
fielding in midfield was resulting in score after
score for our forwards, 10 points in fact over the
rest of the half. Phelim Bradys faded in the second
half and if not for a mistake and a gifted goal from
our goalkeeper, Cormac Duffy, they would not have
registered a score in the second half. Full Time Phelim
Bradys 1-07 Shane O'Neills 3-13.

Shane O'Neill's 2-15 v O'Hanlon's
0-09
After a slow start to the game Brendy Mackin put
the Shanes in front with a well taken point. Donal
Feely extended the Shanes lead with a good point following
some great fielding by Darren Grant. The third point
for the Shanes came from the boot of Kieran Murphy
after some great defending from Peter O’Brien
to break up an attack by O’Hanlons. The visitors
then registered their first score with a pointed free.
The Shanes extended their lead when Raymie Fitzpatrick
converted a penalty kick to the back of the net after
the same player was fouled as he was bearing down
on goal. Raymie quickly followed this up with another
point before O’Hanlons scored their second point
from a free. The next point from Neil Paul Lennon
was undoubtedly the score of the half, with the ball
travelling the full length of pitch before Neil Paul
slotted it over the bar. Two quick points from O’Hanlons
left five between the sides before Micheál
Brady popped over another point for the Shanes. Another
free for O’Hanlons just before half-time reduced
the margin again but the Shanes went into the break
leading by 1-7 to 0-5.
O’Hanlons got the first point of the second
half before James Lennon got on the score-sheet for
the Shanes with a fine point. O’Hanlons got
another point before Brendy Mackin scored three unanswered
points for the Shanes. Another point from a free for
O’Hanlons cut the gap again but a brilliant
individual point from Brendy Mackin and another from
Neil Paul Lennon saw the Shanes leading by double
scores 1-13 to 0-8. O’Hanlons pointed another
free but this proved to be their last score of the
game. Raymie Fitzpatrick increased his and the Shanes
total with a great individual goal before Darren Grant
and Kieran Murphy scored point a piece to leave the
final score 2- 15 to 0-9 in favour of Shane O’Neills.

Our senior team returned to action on Sunday afternoon
with a home game against Middletown. Having been out
of action for a few weeks they hoped to build on their
win against Eire Óg on the opening day. The
game itself proved to be a very physical, hard-hitting
encounter but the Shanes came out on top at the end

top scoring with a personal tally of 0-4. Other Shane’s
scorers on the day were Kieran Murphy 0-3, Neil Paul

Eire Og 1-07 v Shane O'Neill's
1-10
Our seniors began their league campaign away to Eire
Og on Sunday and got off to the best possible start
with a three point victory over their hosts, 1-10
to 1-7. The Shanes played the first-half with a strong
wind at their backs and went into the interval leading
by 1-8 to 0-1, with a goal and 3 points from centre
half forward Brendy Mackin.
The second-half was an altogether different affair
with Eire Og having the advantage of the winds at
their backs and at the end it was Brendy Mackin's
goal which separated the two teams. This was a difficult
game for the Shanes but their hard work and determination,
particularly in the second-half, saw them emerge with
a hard fought and ultimately well deserved 1-10 to
1-07 victory.
