Junior ‘A’
Conor Cleary in action Vs Nenagh
A 2-23 to 2-12 loss against Nenagh in the semi-final ended our championship aspirations for this year. We trailed by two points at the interval with the scoreboard reading 0-10 to 0-8 in favour of Nenagh. With the breeze at their backs Nenagh dominated the third quarter and surged into a twelve-point lead by the second water break. MacDonaghs rallied in the final quarter and goals from Shane Williams and Conor Cleary (25m free) cut the deficit to six. However, Nenagh finished with a flourish and were deserving winners. Thanks to the players, management and backroom team for their efforts during the year.

In the ‘D’ Plate Final we had home advantage against Burgess and claimed the title with a good performance. MacDonaghs had the aid of the stiff breeze in the first half and this proved to be crucial in getting the better of a determined Burgess side.
