Clontibret Club Notes

Reserve League Div.1 Semi-Final
Clontibret 1-11, Magheracloone 2-05
A great team performance saw off the challenge of Magheracloone on Wednesday evening. We conceded goals at crucial times, one in the closing stages of the game, but fought back with points from Colm Greenan, Mark Rooney and Marius McGarrell to win by 3 points. It was great to see eight different players getting on the score sheet. The final against Scotstown, will be played tomorrow evening, Friday, in Rooskey at 8pm.
 
Senior League
Clontibret 0-18, Carrick 1-09.
Our senior team had a very good win against Carrick on Friday evening last. We got off to a bad start with Carrick scoring a goal almost from the throw in. However, we clawed back the three points quickly, two from frees, and a fisted point from play from Ronan Murphy, and we didn’t go behind again for the rest of the game. After going in level at half-time the second half turned into a point scoring blitz with some excellent scores from a number of different players. Next senior league game is against Magheracloone next Wednesday, 25th June at 8pm in Magheracloone.
 
 
O’Duffy Cup
Clontibret 2-17, Ballybay 0-01
We had a comfortable win over Ballybay in this championship outing on Sunday last. We took a while to get going but pulled away easily to win against a struggling Ballybay team.

The u14 semi-final v Emyvale, due to be played this Saturday, is rescheduled due to the hurling feile this weekend. Players will be notified when fixed.
 
U12
Clontibret 4-11, Cremartin 3-05. On Tuesday we played our neighbours Cremartin in a very lively and keenly contested game. There was great commitment and passion shown from start to finish. Both teams displayed excellent levels of skill and took some excellent scores in a high scoring contest. Particular praise is due to the defenders for their quick thinking free-taking and tigerish tackling. On Saturday the Inniskeen game was called off. Big thanks to Martin McCague who sponsored the fruity refreshments at Saturday morning’s training (they were much needed). Training continues as usual. Great attendance so far, keep it up.
