Inny Shamrocks U16 County Champions

Well done to Inny Shamrocks U16s who came out on top of an epic battle with St. Michael's on Sunday morning. Playing with the aid of a slight breeze in the first half, the Inny boys started the brighter of the teams and established a 6 point lead whilst keeping the opposition scoreless. St. Michael's got on the scoresheet courtesy of a fortuitous goal that left the Inny keeper stranded. 

A three point lead at half time was stretched to six points in the second half thanks to some great passages of play by the Inny boys. With the opposition playing a sweeper in front of the defence, the Inny lads made great use of the extra man to keep on top. 

However, as with all games, St. Michael's hit their purple patch and with all the momentum on their side, scored two goals and a point in the last 10 minutes to establish a 1 point lead with time up. A frantic two minutes saw Inny equalise courtesy of a point from play before a last gasp goal and a point from a free with time up gave Inny a 4 point win.

This was a game that players from both teams should be proud to have been involved in. As Barry Kelly said at the trophy presentation, most neutral spectators would have loved to see another 20 minutes of extra time. A delighted Adam Coloe accepted the trophy on behalf of the Inny Shamrock boys. 

This team of young men has been together for several years and the determination and spirit at the end was the result of having battled together through so many games in the past. Well done to the players and coaches who got a fitting return on many months of hard work.

Enjoy the recovery and we look forward to more joyous occasions in the future. A massive credit to St. Michael's for playing a huge part in today's match.

Team: Cian Murphy, Jack Cahill, Jack Keena, Oisin Clarke, Seamus Clarke, Adam Coloe, Liam Doyle, Patrick Wallace, Oisin Keena, Jack Ledwidth, Aidan Heduvan, Harry Brennan, Owen Nally, Peadar Baird & Zach Timoumi. Subs: Aaron Nally for O. Nally, Thomas Hora for Z. Timoumi, Cian Martin for H. Brennan, Michael Reynolds for J. Ledwith & Sam Maher for S. Clarke.
