U17  Armagh Championship Final 

Cross V Clan na Gael

All roads led to the Athletic Grounds on Tuesday night for the Armagh U17 division 1 championship final. It took both teams a few minutes to settle, Caolan Finnegan getting our opening score, a point which was matched by the Lurgan boys. A super goal from Dara O’Neill in the tenth minute give us an early lead. Both sides traded points once again and as the game entered the second quarter, the goal was the difference. Some super goal keeping from our number 1, Conor Derry kept our lead in tact. We had a number of missed opportunities in what was a fast moving and exciting encounter. As the minutes ticked down to the break, three points from Clans and our second goal coming thanks to the younger O’Neill Brother, Aaron left the score at the mid way point;

Cross 2-2  Clans 0-5 

The second half was only seconds old when Ronan Fitzpatrick had registered his second point to stretch our lead but a Clans point immediately afterwards brought it back to a three point game. Caolan scored his second point but again Clans matched it when they converted a free and once again a goal was the difference but this was all to change, three unanswered points for us and as we entered the last quarter we were in a comfortable position. Clan na Gael responded, three points one after another to reduce the deficit but with the finishing line in sight, we stepped up a gear, vice captain Ronan Fitzpatrick scored 2-1 in two minutes to put the game firmly out of Clans reach but they never give up, again Conor stood firm in goals as they kept the pressure up, they scored three points in the dying minutes of the game to leave the score at full time;

Cross 4-08 Clan na Gael 0-13

Well done boys on a fantastic all round team performance. Due to Covid restrictions, jubilant fans stood behind the fence as joint Captains, Ronan Fitzpatrick and Caolan Finnegan lifted the trophy. Congratulations  to the entire squad, mentors, Tim, Leo and Alan.
