PADRAIG PEARSES Leo Kenny Cup (Connacht League) Final: Pearses 1-15 Louisburgh (Mayo) 1-7 Padraig Pearses retained the Leo Kenny cup with a fine display last Sunday in Hyde Park. Louisburgh started brightly and led 0-3 to 0-2 after 10 minutes but that was as good as it got for the Mayo men as Pearses dominated the rest of the half. There was some fine point taking thereafter with Sean Fahey leading the line with six points, three from play and with Mike Duignan, Paul Duke and John Connell also on the score sheet, Pearses went in at half-time 0-12 to 0-3 to the good. It was a more determined Louisburgh team that took the field in the second half and slowly they began to reduce the deficit but a fine Enda Barrett point eased Pearses nerves, this was followed by an Eana Ryan goal after a good run from Denis Whyte. Louisburgh struck back immediately with a converted penalty and it took a fine Mossy Dolan save to halt the comeback. Two more Sean Fahey points sealed the game in what was a fine win for Pearses. Team was Mossy Dolan, Damien Donnellan, Aidan Fallon, Padraig Kelly, Enda Barrett (0-1), Denis Whyte, Declan Duffy, Niall Finneran, Pat Connell (0-1), Paul Kelly, Ollie Brooks, Paul Duke (0-1), Mike Duignan (0-3), John Connell and Sean Fahey (0-9, 5f, 45) subs used: Eana Ryan (1-0), Emmett Kelly and Vinny Costelloe.

NAOMH DOMINIC There has been a huge take up of Club Jackets and Bags in the past Week and anyone wishing to acquire a Jacket or Bag contact any Club Official. St. Dominic’s sponsored by The Whelan group made hard work out of getting a draw in their second round JFC clash with St. Faithleachs. In a lacklustre 1st half, St. Dominic’s made too many unforced errors and were punished for it. Despite Tomas Gilleran opening the scoring, St. Faithleachs then scored 1-5 without reply. Only a goal minutes before the break kept the margin down to 5 points, coming through Ciaran Hunts opportunism. St. Dominic’s were a different team in the second half. They constantly attacked the St. Faithleachs rearguard and scored 6 points in succession to go into the lead for the first time in the match – Gilleran, McKeown, & Hunt getting the scores. St. Faithleachs crucially were allowed past a second time and this regained their lead – 2 points. But St. Dominic’s showed great heart and scored 3 points in succession to enter injury time a point to the good. With a number of chances to increase the lead squandered, Faithleachs got the equalizer and it both teams shared the points. Junior game on Friday at 8:30 in Kilbride. O’Rourke game possibly on Sunday. Players will be informed by text during the week with arrangements. U-14 Football: Our Div 3 Team play St. Ronan’s this Thursday evening in Ballyfarnon at 7.30pm.

They extended their lead immediately on the resumption of play, and some excellent scores from Peter Gillooly, Paul and Seán Gilleran, Fergal Towey and Dominic Gillooly, meant St. Joseph’s won easily.
