Clann na nGael Notes

Tansey Cup
Clann na nGael 2-10 Strokestown 1-9
The Clann na nGael Junior A team won their first game of the campaign with a hard fought win over Strokestown on a splendid Johnstown surface on Saturday evening last. Despite the arctic conditions the visitors were red hot in the early stages and led by 1-1 to 0-0 after 7 minutes. Clann took control as the half wore on and goals from Dara Shine and Colin Nicholson put Clann 2-4 to 1-5 up at the break. Clann assumed control of the game in the second half and ran out deserving winners. Best for Clann were Darragh Egan, Alan Dunne, Phelim Lenehan and Seanie Walsh.
Team: Joseph Fallon, Keith Kildea, Daniel Harney, Ray Fallon, Darragh Egan, John Harney, Seanie Walsh, Dara Shine, Emmet Rock, Graham Petit, Alan Dunne, Phelim Lenehan, Fergal Shine, Colin Nicholson, Emmet Kenny. Subs: Thomas Keogh, Niall Lennon, Andy McNamara.

Minor League
Clann na nGael 1-8 Michael Glaveys 2-7
The Clann na nGael minor team entertained Michael Glaveys in Johnstown on Sunday last. Glaveys burst out of the blocks and were 2-3 to 0-0 up after 15 minutes. 2 Emmet Kenny points brought Clann into the game before the visitors finished the half off with 3 points. Clann were a different team after the restart and points from Emmet Kenny 4 and Dan O'Connor put Clann within striking distance of Glaveys. Clann were rewarded with a Stevie Flynn goal and a Darragh Petit point in the closing stages to set up a grandstand finale. Glaveys held on for a win, but a draw would have been probably the fairest result. Clann were well served by Stevie Flynn, Darragh Golden, Darragh Egan, Emmet Kenny and James Farrell.
Team and scorers: Conor Dolan, Mark Connaughton, David Flynn 1-0, Shane Petit, Darragh Egan, Pierce Harney Nolan, Ultan Harney, Darragh Petit 0-1, Rudhrai McManus, Emmet Kenny 0-6, James Farrell, Dan O'Connor 0-1, James McManus, Rian McNamara. Subs: Malcom O'Hanlon, Martin Costello, John Finnerty.
