Monaghan Harps Lotto: The numbers for last Sunday's draw were 21, 24, 25 and 30. Jackpot of €4,600 not won. This week's four €40 lucky-dip prize winners were: Pauric Sherry c/o Séamus Treanor; Mary Sherry c/o ClubZap; Daragh Croarkin c/o himself; and Mel McMorrow c/o ClubZap. The sellers' prize of €20 was won by Monica Connolly. Jackpot for Sunday, June 15 is €4,700. Thanks to everyone for continuing to support our Lotto and to the committee and the regular helpers for their efforts in keeping the show on the road and providing essential funding towards our development work over the last three decades. We would greatly appreciate if every family involved in the club would consider setting up a recurring Lotto entry via ClubZap. Please note that the cut-off point for ClubZap each week is 6pm on Sunday.

 

IFL: We fell to a narrow loss away to Castleblayney in the Intermediate Football League last Friday night. Scores from Éimhín Morahan, Luke McManus, Seán Callan, Daragh Croarkin and Michael Galligan had us a point up at the end of a closely-contested first half: 0-7 to 1-3. Michael hit the net early in the second half, while Kevin Loughran, Luke and Éimhín were also on target, but Blayney got on top to move four clear late on. Seán's late goal left just a point in it, but time was almost up and we couldn't find an equaliser. Well done to Shea Corrigan for making his IFL debut.

Team and scorers: Daragh Croarkin (0-2, 1 2-pt-f); Dean Doherty, Kevin Moran, Gary Devlin; Oisín Fagan, Seán Callan (1-1), Kevin Loughran (0-1); Lochlainn Power (Joint-Capt.), Dylan McKenna; Dara Mullin, Luke McManus (0-2, 1f), Senan Cudden; Michael Galligan (1-1), Fionán Ó Gallchóir, Éimhín Morahan (Joint-Capt., 0-4, 1f).

U-14: Our U-14 Division One team qualified for the Shield Final with a good win at home to Inniskeen last Saturday. An even first half ended with our lads up by 0-10 to 1-5, helped by a couple of well-taken two-point scores from Conall McGinnity. The result remained in the balance until the closing stages, when a run of goals from Tiernan Cleary-Keenan, Tiernan Loughran and Conall sealed a hard-earned win, with Callum McCullagh and Evan McGarry also getting on the scoresheet and our defenders and midfielders working tirelessly. The Shield Final v Donaghmoyne is due to be played in Oram next Wednesday evening. Please check online to confirm fixture.

Team and scorers: Lennon McGuirk; Finn McCaffrey, Jamie Sheridan; Tommy McElwain, Matthew Duffy, Cillian McGinnity; Senan Durnin, Darragh Devaney; Tiernan Loughran (2-3), Evan McGarry (0-1), Conall McGinnity (1-6, 1 2-pt, 1 2-pt-f); Callum McCullagh (0-4), Tiernan Cleary-Keenan (1-0).
