The senior footballers took the Beringer Cup title with a one point win over Ardoyne at Casement Park. It was an exciting match and after a slow start we levelled the score at 0-3 with Gerard Burns picking up our points. We then edged in front when Gerard Burns slipped a handpass into Stephen Toner’s path and he slotted it over the bar. We followed this up with a fast break from our own thirteen metre line and with a string of passes the ball fell to Collie O’Riordan who blasted to the back of the Ardoyne net. We had started to take control of the game and when Collie converted a penalty we had increased our advantage to seven. The last score of the first half came from Stephen Toner and left the half time score 2-5 to 0-3.

The young lads of Michael Davitts showed up really well in a round robin competition organised by the Ulster Council at Woodlands last Saturday. Three teams took part, Davitts, St Galls and Naomh Óg. Whilst the other two teams looked bigger and stronger, the Davitts team, which was predominately an Under 12 team demonstrated great skill and determination to overcome St Galls and then to pip a good amalgamation side in the second game. Levi Ives was named player of the tournament and deservedly won himself a new Antrim jersey.
 
This is a very promising young team and full credit goes to Martin Mooney and his fellow mentors for developing them so well as the year progresses.
 
Juvenile training will resume on Sunday 1 August at Grosvenor Leisure Centre at 11am.

The first score of the game came from  Canice Mooney, a 70 yard pointed free which was then cancelled out with a 40 yard Cushendun pointed free. Tommy Toland was then involved in the next two moves which culminated in a goal and a point for Rory McEvoy. The first resulted in Rory firing over a well executed point following Tommy’ s handpass as he raced goal wards. The second saw Tommy strike a long ball into the full forward line, Anton McCaffrey side stepped it allowing the sliotar to  roll into Rory’s path and he despatched the shot to the back of the Cushendun net. Another Canice Mooney pointed 21 yard free gave us a 1-3 to 0-1 lead.

The footballers were looking to follow up their good win over Sarsfields with another good performance against Aghagallon, at Casement Park, on Friday night. However, we had a disasterous start. Within in the first few minutes  an error in defense allowed the Aghagallon forward to race towards goal for a one on one with the keeper and he made no mistake as he blasted to the back of the net. They quickly followed up with a brace of points to take a 1-2 to no 0-0 lead.

The senior hurlers progressed to the semi-final stages of the Junior Hurling Championship with a spirited performance against St Agnes at Casement Park. We were in control of the match from the first whistle and with excellent use of the sliotar created many scoring chances.
