It was time for the parish derby this afternoon, as two neighbouring teams parked the pleasantries for 60 odd minutes, in a good sporting contest. Knock-out football brings with it the jeopardy the supporters relish and heartbreak for the players on the wrong end of the result. Thankfully, it was a good day for St. Michael's, as we head to a JFC Quarter Final next weekend.
Seniors:
Thanks to goals from Benny Davidson and Charlie Rock, the Seniors secured an important win over Dorsey this afternoon to book a place in the last 8. Final score: St Michael’s 2-12 Dorsey 0-08.
Thank you to this week's MatchBall Sponsor, Tracey O'Malley, for your continued support.

These lads put in a dominant display against Shane O’Neills this week in their League fixture, final score: 6-19 to 0-3.

U14 Girls:
Our Michael O'Doirnin Emmetts travelled to Clady yesterday for the Tommy McLaughlin Blitz. They made it to the Shield Final, where they were beaten by Shane O'Neills by the narrowest of margins. Another great performance by these girls.
