Our Juniors faced neighbours St. Marys, Carrick on Shannon in the Q-final of the Championship on Saturday last in Ballinamore. The Annaduff lads got off to a good start considering they were kicking into a strong breeze. Kenny Cox kicking the first point followed by a point for Marys, Cathal, Ronan, and Gavin with a point each followed by a converted free from Kenny inside the opening fifteen min. St marys did come back with three points from play and another from a free. In the thirtieth min Marys got a goal with two converted frees from Kenny Cox left the Annaduff side down by a point at half time.
The second half had only started when St Marys were awarded a penalty which was converted into a goal. But a point from Gavin and a pull down on Jason Ward in the 40th min Kenny slotted a goal after a rebound from a penalty kick off the Marys Goaly. Followed up with a brilliantly worked ball from Jason Ward to Liam Taylor into the back of St Marys net the Annaduff lads went three points up and kept that lead to the end.
