MINOR LEAGUE FINAL

Croghan was the venue on Wednesday evening for the Minor Division 3 League Final between St Michael's-St Ronan's and Elphin-Ballinameen. On a very warm evening for football, our boys were quick to settle with two early points from play. Their opponents grew into the game and had levelled by the end of the first quarter. Another two point salvo restored our advantage with 10 minutes of the half to play but, at the interval, the sides were tied again at 4pts apiece.

On the resumption, two pointed frees were shared in quick succession before Elphin-Ballinameen jumped into the lead for the first time with a goal. Four more unanswered points followed before the water break and the 7pt deficit looked insurmountable for our lads entering the final quarter. However a superbly finished goal from Ruadhan Henry was the spark that reignited the contest. Two points further narrowed the gap as the boys seized the initiative. The comeback seemed complete when Caolan O'Connor finished to the net with 2 minutes remaining to lead by a point. However in a dramatic finale, the concession of an injury time goal proved decisive. Full-time: St Michael's-St Ronan's 2-7  Elphin-Ballinameen 2-9.

Commiserations to the boys and their coaches. They have had a superb league campaign, improving with every outing and can look forward to the championship in the summer. Thanks to the huge number of followers who turned out to support the boys.

Panel: Daniel Regan, JJ Gilmartin, Daniel Bakare, Neil Fahy, Tommy Lennon, Cormac Regan, Niall McGlynn, Barry Monahan, Ruadhan Henry, Shane O'Dowd, Jeffrey Oates, Iollan Morahan, Ronan Guckian, Caolan O'Connor, Bríon O'Dowd, Alex Oates, Adam Davis, Josh McGarry, Dion Lowe, Tomas Gilboy, Edward Clancy, Eoin O'Connor, Deimantis Tacionis, Aryan Hanly, Marcos Ibanez, Colm Dwyer, Eoghan Rynn.
