Na Fianna GAA Club Notes
U16 FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Na Fianna U16 Footballers had no joy in their penultimate round of the League against Ballycumber / Tubber last Monday week in Pullough as they lost on a scoreline of 3-15 to 1-08 their first defeat of the campaign. 2 goals midway through the first half for Ballycumber / Tubber were decisive in giving them the lead at half time 2-05 to 0-04. Then in the second half Ballycumber / Tubber playing with the strong breeze took full advantage wrapping it up with a further 1-10 to Na Fianna’s 1-04 for whom Joey Kinahan dispatched the goal.

U14 FOOTBALL FEILE LEAGUE
Na Fianna U14 Footballers had little difficulty in getting their 2015 playing campaign off to a winning start as they easily accounted for DER Gaels in Rd 1 of the Feile League last Thursday evening in Pullough on the comprehensive scoreline of 12-13 to 0-02. The first half was a complete onslaught of attack from Na Fianna as they clocked up the scores and by half time they led 10-07 to 0-02. Early in the second half with such a comprehensive lead Na Fianna could afford the opportunity to bring on their full compliment of substitutes and these all accounted for themselves well as Na Fianna increased their tally adding a further 2-06 without a single reply from DER Gaels.
NA FIANNA: Conor Kelly, Conor Owens, David McElduff, David Boland, Jack Gorry, Aaron Flanagan, David Carthy (0-01), Glen Hassett (0-01), Emmett Curley (3-01), James Nolan (1-02), Adam Mangan (1-00), Gavin Kelly (0-02), Morgan Tynan (0-02), Lee Mulpeter (4-00), James Bryan (2-03).

U16 FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Na Fianna U16 Footballers were left to settle for a draw in their final group match of the League against Ferbane / Belmont in Geashill last Friday evening on a scoreline of 2-04 to 0-10. Ferbane opened the scoring with a point straight from the throw in. Na Fianna then got off the mark with their first point on 7 mins followed immediately by their first goal when Craig Strong lobbed the keeper from the edge of the square to the top right corner of the net. The remainder of the half saw both sides add 2 points apiece to leave Na Fianna leading at the break 1-03 to 0-03. The second half saw Na Fianna edge further ahead when Reece Seery struck for their second goal but a late scoring rally saw Ferbane / Belmont claw it back to salvage the draw which was enough to secure their place in the League Semi Finals
