It's hard to believe it's back to school time already for our underage players. We're sure the parents..... we mean, students cannot contain their excitement!
One thing's certain, there's been a lot of ground covered across the county by our underage stars in recent weeks.
Seniors:
Championship begins this Saturday afternoon as Killean travel to Newtown for this group fixture.
Come out & show your support for the lads, and be sure to get your tickets online beforehand:

Fair play to Aidan Davidson who was chosen by the Sideline Eye as one to match in the Junior Championship. Our Seniors will be wanting to put a strong team performance together on Saturday to start as they mean to go on.
Minors:
The lads played a much fancied Keady side in their Championship Quarter-final, and despite their best efforts, Keady ran out victors 3-13 to 1-11.
There's still a chance for silverware though, as they play Ballymacnab next Monday in the Championship Shield Final.
Good luck to all the Newtown Emmets O'Doirnins.
U16 Boys:
The U16s lost out narrowly to Wolfe Tones in their Championship Quarter-final. It went to extra-time, with the sides evenly matched. The host side won 3-17 to 2-18.
In dull, damp conditions in Lissummon last night, the lads just fell short against a strong Shamrock Gaels team. Final score in their Shield semi-final, S.Gaels 3-15 - NEODs 4-09.
Hard luck lads, they've put in so much hard work this year under the guidance of their coaches.
Thank you to SD Photobox for the photos from the Wolfe Tones match.
U14 Boys:
Well done to the U14 Boys who have put in a couple of strong back to back performances to secure all important League points.
They overcame Madden by a single point in a hard fought game, 5-09 to 5-08. This was followed by a late comeback against Keady to draw the match. They were 11 points down with 10 minutes to go, but they dug deep and levelled to get a share of the points. Final score, 6-06 NEODs - 4-12 Keady.
They're sitting fourth in the table with a couple of matches in hand.
Check out the action photos from Sineads_Snaps on Facebook from the Keady match.
U14 Girls:
Unfortunately, our Michael O'Doirnin Emmetts came up against a very strong St. Peters side, the latter emerging as winners in their Quarter-final.
The girls also participated in the Girls Festival of Football hosted by Dromintee a fortnight ago. They played Éire Óg, Clann Eireann, Mullaghbawn, St Edna’s Omagh & Cooley. They finished off playing Patrick Sarsfields, Belfast in the knockout stages and were narrowly beat by a point. A strong performance all round from the girls, you should be proud of yourselves.
This group have gelled so well this season, keep it up girls.
U12 Boys:
The U12 Boys put in a great performance against Tullysaran in their 'Orange' League fixture. They're in action again tonight, away to St. Paul's GAC. Safe travels to the team, their coaches and supporters.
U12 Girls:
The girls put in a gallant performance against Patrick Rankins on Monday night in an entertaining encounter in Newtown. There was super teamwork on display, accurate passing and tough defending. There was a single point between the teams at the end, but the girls should be proud of their efforts.
U10 Boys:
Our U10s had a brilliant run-out against Whitecross during the week, taking super scores, battling for every ball and showing their skills. A great performance from these U10s, who have improved massively with each outing.
U10 Girls:
The U10 girls, under the guidance of Coach Ciaran McGlinchey, put in impressive performances against Mullaghbawn and Silverbridge in the Hub held in Dorsey. They played with confidence, and are really enjoying their football.
Thank you to Ciaran and Mary for their help on the day with the team and the goodie bags for the players.
U8 Boys & Girls:
The U8s had GoGames with Dorsey during the week and they all enjoyed themselves, putting their skills into practice. Well done boys & girls!
G4MOs:
These ladies are back in action next week against Oram, good luck !
Congratulations to Phelim Rock, who was crowned U12 All-Ireland Road Bowls Champion 🏆 in a very wet Madden recently. What a fabulous achievement for Phelim and a proud moment for his family. Well done Phelim, we're delighted for you.
