School Football
Kilruane N .S. overcame Newport N.S. in the first round of the championship on a 0-6 to 1-2 scoreline. Captain Shane O Meara won the toss and elected to play with the stiff breeze. Kilruane dominated possession and centre field Ben Healy kicked five points, including three from placed balls. Newport monopolised play in the second period and it took it great defending by the Kilruane defence to hold out against constant pressure. This was a great team performance by a team which had lost so many key players since last year. Jack Dunne was outstanding in goals and made some crucial saves. Shane O Meara and Mark O Neill were superb at the back. Ben Healy did Trojan work in the middle of the park. Dimunitive Aaron Morgan was the star in the attack and he got good support from Mathew Moyles and Alan Spain. Team: Jack Dunne, Shane O Meara, Daniel Clarke, Jack Dwan, Mark O Neill, Conor Quinlan, Ben Healy (0-5), Dylan Moran, Alan Spain, Mathew Moyles, Seamus O Meara and Aaron Morgan. Subs: Amy Quinlisk, Laura Tierney and Louis Kennedy.
