The minor footballers won the Jonathan Burke Memorial Cup in Monivea last Saturday when they defeated the home side by 4-8 to 0-7. Despite the difference in the final score it was a well contested game until inside the last 10 minutes when we scored two goals, one each by Andrew Golding and Dara Melia. Our total score was accounted for by Enda Mullarkey 0-3 Andrew Golding 1-1 Shane Concannon 2-1 Patrick Healy 0-3 Dara Melia 1-0. One particular score, a point by Patrick Healy from a sideline ball way out on the left wing and at a narrow angle drew applause from the supporters of both teams. Our defence was solid all through and gave little time or space for the Monivea forwards to pose a serious threat. Cathal Creaven in goal dealt competently with everything that came his way and he had a solid fullback line in front of him in Conor Furey TJ. Forde and Paul Lynch .The halfback line of Gearoid Reynolds Brian Creaven Eoghan Kavanagh and midfielders Jonathan Creaven and Patrick Healy also performed impressively and launched a good number of attacks. The half forward line of Shane Concannon Enda Mullarkey and Dara Melia all took their scores well. The inside line was led by Andrew Golding at full forward who was well supported by Gavin Curry and David Keane, and later Owen Pearse all of whom won ball under pressure at vital stages laying off good passes which led to important scores. After the game, team captain on the day Enda Mullarkey in his acceptance speech thanked the Monivea Club for the invitation to take part in the competition and were also thanked for the food and refreshments provided for all after the game.

the break 1-4 each. Renvyle started the second half with two points
inside three minutes but points from Fahy, Burke and Murphy edged

to go, in the remaining minutes both sides missed scores but the

Another hard luck story for the for our U-21 footballers in Tuam Stadium on Saturday as we were beaten by Killererin in the North semi-final . Killererin played into the town goal with the aid of the breeze in the first half and got the perfect start a serious of one twos ended with Shane Hughes firing to the net after a good move. Mathias Coleman replied with a good point from play for us. Killererin then scored another point before Frankie Burke slotted over two fine points from play. The half time score was Annaghdown 0-03 Killererin 1-3. It was a very tense affair with conditions getting worse in the second half Wesley Fallon reduced the deficit to two points with a good effort from play and after 15 minutes. Frankie Burke added his third from play to leave a single point between the teams but that was as close as we got. With time running out Killererin went two in front when Shane Hughes fired over their only score of the second half from a free. It was desperation stuff now for Annaghdown but Ger Rafftrey played a brilliant ball over the Killererin defence to give Frankie Burke a chance to grab and a goal which was on for him. Unfortunatly for us he was bundled to the ground but a penalty kick was awarded. The game was in injury time and Ger Rafftrey stood up to take the shot but the Killererin goalie blocked and then dived on it as it rebound of him to win the game for Killererin on the score line of 1-4 to 0-5.

Damien Burke pointed after twenty minutes with Frankie Burke having our last two points of the game to leave us trailing by two points at the finish. It was a game that saw us very wayward in our shooting in front of goal having shot five wides in the first ten minutes of the game and although we finished strong towards the end of the game again our poor finishing left a lot to be desired The team was: Padraic Mannion, Benny Newell, Adrian Fitzpatrick, Martin O'Neill, Mathias Coleman, Shane Collier, Fergal O'Doherty, Niall Coleman, Anthony Pender, Michael Melia, P, J.Fahy, Brian Qualter, Damien Burke, Wesley Fallon, and Frankie Burke.

Back to Saturday's action however and this was certainly the proverbial game of two half's for us, we were out of it in the first half and we even had a Ciaran O Connor penalty saved when Damien Burke was fouled in the square and not alone did we trail our opponents at the break but we looked out of contention in almost all sectors of the field. In the second half we were all fired up but it took an Aidan Connaughton goal after fifty minutes to bring us right back into contention and having drawn level at the end of normal time O'Connor pointed a 65 to book us a place in the Final against Kiltormer on Saturday next. Ciaran O'Connor had an outstanding game scoring ten points, seven from frees and two sixty fives while the Leonards Carl and Kenny and Eoin Murtagh were also to the fore.
