U16 FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Na Fianna U16 Footballers completed the group stage of the League with a comfortable win over St Rynaghs in Cloghan last Tuesday week in the Final Round on a scoreline of 3-16 to 3-06. The win puts Na Fianna through to the League Semi Finals with fixtures to be confirmed.

U14 FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Na Fianna U14 Footballers had to settle for a draw in the Final Round of the League against DER Gaels last Saturday in Geashill on a scoreline of 3-14 to 5-08 in a game that the lead change hands many times throughout with the draw proving to be the fairest result. Both sides got off the mark with 2 early points apiece before Na Fianna built up a sizeable lead scoring 1-05 to DER’s 2 points over the next 20 mins with goal scored by Sean Beatty but this lead was wiped out in the final 10 mins of the half as DER struck for 3 goals as Na Fianna replied with 2 points which gave DER the lead at the break 3-05 to 1-09. Both sides added a point apiece early in the second half before Na Fianna got back in front when Craig Strong dispatched their second goal on 9 mins. Na Fianna then added 4 more points to DER’s 2 over the next 15 mins to increase their lead but again this was wiped out as DER got in for 2 more goals but not to be denied Na Fianna came back when Sean Beatty dispatched their 3rd goal with 2 mins left to salvage a draw and this is how it finished. Unfortunately the draw was not enough for Na Fianna to progress in the League and they will now move on to the Championship later in the summer.
NA FIANNA: Ryan Kinahan, Ross Colton, Adam Cuddy, Aiden Pierce, Shane Finneran, Brian Keogh, Anthony Malone, Eoin Corcoran (0-02), Sean Beatty (2-00), Fintan Hinch, Craig Strong (1-04), Gavin Kelly, Lee Mulpeter (0-02), Shane O’Rourke (0-02), Conor McGuinness (0-04).
SUBS: Sean Cleary, Lee Meally, Dan McKeagney, Mikey Buckley, CJ Murphy.
