Donegal minors draw with Derry

Donegal and Derry players battle for the ball in Celtic Park in Derry on Saturday

Charlie Mulgerw's Donegal Minors played out a well-deserved draw with cross-border rivals Derry at Celtic Park on Saturday.
Despite a late rally of points, Derry failed to find the winning score and, perhaps, the best chance to seal the two points on offer fell to Donegal's Leon Kelly who put the ball wide inside injury time.
On reflection, a draw was, perhaps, a fair result but with Derry kicking 13 wides in the game, they will feel the more aggrieved of the two teams.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 13th minute when Patrick McBrearty converted a free from 20 yards out.

The Oak Leafers responded with two scores and took the lead in the 15th minute through well taken points from Jack Kielt and Tiernan Rafferty.
Donegal regained their one point advantage when Sean McGarvey pointed from 35 yards out and, soon after, Chris Barrett sent his effort between the posts in the 17th minute.

Derry's Jack Kielt restored parity for Martin McWilliams' team but Donegal responded brilliantly with two tremendous points from Patrick McBrearty and a free kick from Conor Givens to give the Tir Chonaill men a three point lead.

Just before the half time whistle, Derry half forward Alan Devlin reduced the deficit to two points with a score from out on the right. Devlin shrugged off several challenges from the Donegal defence to put the ball between the posts in the 29th minute.

Both sides exchanged early wides at the start of the second half before Derry equalised through a fantastic point on the stand side from Jack Kielt and a free kick from Finton Bell in the 38th minute.

Charlie Mulgrew's team took the lead again moments later when Patrick McBrearty scored his fourth point and second free kick of the game in the 39th minute.

Going into the last 20 minutes of the game, there wasn't much between the two sides.

Subsitute Fergal Duffin got Derry back on level pegging with a fantastic point in the 44th minute before Tiernan Rafferty secured the lead for the Oak Leafers in the 47th minute.

Donegal's Chris Barrett and Derry's Tiernan Rafferty exchanged points before the visitors scored a well taken goal in the 52nd minute.

An impressive burst of pace and strength on the byline from Patrick McBrearty caused major problems for the Derry back line. As the powerful midfielder attempted to send the ball towards goal, Derry goalkeeper Kevin Farren parried the ball into the path of Chris Barrett who fisted the ball into the net.

With eight minutes remaining, Derry's reply was impressive. A Donegal victory looked likely but the Oak Leafers scored three points without reply to ensure a share of the spoils.

Derry: Kevin Farren; Charles Gilmore, Cathal Deery, Karl McKaigue; Tiernan Rafferty (0-3), Rory Moore, Nathan Rocks, Cahir Mullen, Jack Kielt (0-3); Tony Martin, Aran Devlin (0-1), Chris Speers; Finton Bell (0-1 1f), Gary Keane (0-2), Shane Farren. Subs: Canice Rocks for Cathal Deery, Fergal Duffin (0-1) for Chris Speers ht, Ciaran Devlin for Shane Farren and Marty Devlin for Tiernan Rafferty.

Minors claim Dublin scalp

Cavan's Jack Brady

Shane Corrigan
at Breffni Park

Cavan 0-11
Dublin 0-10

Cavan continued their winning ways against Leinster's finest last Saturday afternoon when they pipped Dublin at Kingspan Breffni Park to pick up their second win in as many games in the Ulster Minor Football League.

Mickey Graham's team built on the previous weekend's win over Meath with another encouraging display, where they conceded just one point from play over the hour, against a Dublin side managed by former Cavan senior boss Val Andrews, as they prepare for their Ulster championship clash with Fermanagh in a little over two months' time.

The hosts were dominant in the opening stages of this game but kicked three wides in the first two minutes, before Fergal Flanagan - operating at centre-forward - got them off the mark in the fourth minute with a slick point which was backed up by Shannon Gaels sharpshooter Nevin O'Donnell cracking over a terrific free with his left boot just outside the 45 metre line.

More off-target shooting brought the Cavan wides' tally up to five after eight minutes of play and allowed Dublin to settle into the game by the quarter hour mark as corner-forward Darragh Mylod struck a brace of frees to tie things up at 0-2 each.

Jack Brady announced his arrival in the game with a 20-metre free soon afterwards, but for all their possession the home side failed to push on and this time Adam Caffrey punished more indiscipline at the back from Cavan with a simple placed ball. The next attack saw the visitors pull off a flowing move across their full-forward line and only for Conor Gilsenan racing off his line to block Mylod's effort Dublin would have been in front.

It was perhaps the wake-up call that Cavan yearned as the next three points would be theirs with Brady to the forefront.

Five minutes from the break the Ramor ace raced out from full-forward to fetch possession 45 metres from goal, which he did brilliantly, and was pushed in the back in the process. He made converting the resultant free look easy and curled over two more sweet points from play in the next three minutes to push the young Breffni men three in front.

The capital boys didn't lie down though and some nice inter-changing through the middle saw them draw their fourth scoreable free which Caffrey duly sent over the close the half at 0-6 to 0-4.

Graham re-jigged things for the second-half and introduced Paul McEvoy, Shane Clarke and Karl Duke to the fray, but it was the Dubs that made the better start as Caffrey's third accurate free brought the difference down to the bare minimum.

O'Donnell responded in kind for the would-be winners, but continued fouling when under pressure at the back from his team-mates allowed Caffrey again to bring Dublin within a white flag.

A 20-metre free from Brady and some excellent work from James Madden to rob the Dublin full-back of possession and fire over restored a three-point lead for Cavan, but the Sky Blues recovered well with Caffrey (free) and substitute Donagh McCabe finding the target.

With a nervy ten minutes to go, Dublin rallied and pierced Cavan's rearguard with the ball looking destined for Gilsenan's net but Colin Woods rolled his shot just wide and the hosts were let off the hook.

Crucially, Graham's team didn't panic and instead lifted themselves as Madden found Flanagan inside for a settling point and a poor kick-out from Dublin's John Brian Carthy saw Lavey's Karl Duke keep his head and drill over a much needed point after Caffrey had registered his sixth free of the game.

With time almost up, Dublin hunted for a winning score but they were denied by a full-back line inspired by Jason McLoughin, who had been superb throughout, and were made to settle for a Woods free on the eve of the long whistle which left them one short in the end.

Cavan: Conor Gilsenan; Shane Harten, Jason McLoughlin, Cian McPhilips; Conor Moynagh, Aaron Smith, Darragh Sexton; Turloc Mooney, James Madden (0-1); Chris Conroy, Fergal Flanagan (0-2), Nevin O'Donnell (0-2, 2f); Cian Byrne, Jack Brady (0-5, 3f), Enda O'Reilly. Subs: Paul McEvoy, Shane Clarke, Karl Duke (0-1), Shane Wharton, Niall O'Reilly.

Dublin: John Brian Carthy; Michael Durkan, Graham Heavey, Conor Cronin; Michael Gibbs, Sean Prendergast, Conor Pike; Danny Byrne, Paddy O'Higgins; Fearghal Duffy, Neil O'Flynn, Paul Maguire; Darragh Mylod (0-2, 2f), Adam Caffrey (0-6, 6f), Colin Woods (0-1, 1f). Subs: Donagh McCabe (0-1), Niall McGovern, David Thatwell.

McBrearty missing for Donegal minors' game with Tyrone

Ulster Minor League Group B - Donegal v Tyrone - MacCumhaill Park, Saturday, 12 noon

By Alan Foley

Patrick McBrearty's trip to Berlin with Carrick Vocational School's transitition years students is just one of the reasons Donegal manager Charlie Mulgrew will alter his team for Saturday's Ulster Minor League fixture against Tyrone in Ballybofey.
Mulgrew, at the outset of the competition, had maintained that he would be willing to alter the composition of his line-up in the league and progression was the asset he sought before the championship meeting with Down in May.

With that in mind, Donegal have made an enterprising start, having overcame Fermanagh, 2-6 to 0-6, in their opener at O'Donnell Park the week before last and they followed that up with a commendable 1-8 to 0-11 draw in Celtic Park against Derry on Saturday.

Peter Boyle, the Aodh Ruadh goalkeeper was due to keep goal for the U-21s last night against Armagh in the championship at Brewster Park in Enniskillen. Otherwise, there are a handful of absentees including Naomh Columba's Declan McGinley (hip), Barry Griffin of St Naul's (knee), Milford's Christy McCafferty (knee) and Eoin Grant of Naomh Mhuire (tonsillitis). Tyrone, who drew with Derry in their opener, albeit without the MacRory Cup Omagh CBS connection, and easily defeated Westmeath last week, 1-16 0-5.

"We said at the start of the campaign that we want to see an improvement from one game to the next and that hasn't necessarily changed," said Mulgrew's backroom member John McEniff. "We hope to get better from one game to the next and at the minute, we're progressing. Tyrone, though, will be our biggest test yet and a win is always something that you're after."

Meath minors win
by Conall Collier
Down 1-05 Meath 3-15                                                   
                                                                                         Meath pylon the pressure against Down.


Meath got their first win in the Ulster MFL against Down at Saval.

Understrength Down had no answer to Meath's relentless pressure and the Royals were ahead by 2-9 to 1-2 at the interval.

Meath maintained the momentum after the resumption and were worthy winners.

Meath also played Louth in a challenge game - Meath 3-13, Louth 2-08.

Minors edged out late on
by Editorial Department

Fermanagh 0-13  Antrim 1-11


Kane Connor in action for the Fermanagh Minors against Antrim on Saturday.

Fermanagh lost their second game in this year's Ulster Minor League when they slipped to a one point defeat to Antrim at Brewster Park on Saturday.

Mark Henry's side looked as if they had done enough to secure the victory when they edged two points in front with seven minutes left to play but it was Antrim who finished the stronger of the sides as they fought back to clinch the win with three unanswered points.

Fermanagh had the adavantage of the breeze in the first half and they dominated the opening 20 minutes although they did not open up as big a lead as their superiority had merited.

And Antrim managed to claw their way back into contention following this with Declan Lynch firing in what proved to the decisive score in the finish up when he registered the only goal of the encounter.

Fermanagh did forge ahead again in the second half but they then lost Aidan Breen and Vinnie O'Brien to injuries, both of who were influencing matters, and Antrim went on to pick up the win.

Having dictated the first 20 minutes Fermanagh moved into a 0-06 to 0-01 lead with points coming from Ciaran McBrien, Kane Connor, Aidan Breen and John Joe Strain.

However, for their domiance Fermanagh did not knock over scores as frequently as they would have wished and Antrim began to come more into things after this. A well worked move resulted in Lynch driving past goalkeeper Brian McAleer while midfielder Aidan McKeown supported his attack well in banging over three first half points as they closed to within a point by the break, 0-08 to 1-04.

Fermanagh struggled to get their hands on the ball in the opening ten minutes of the second half as Antrim edged their way into a two point lead with Christy Sheerin, Gerard Slane and McKeown the scorers.

However, Fermanagh responded positively to this with substitute Johnny Feely launching over a fine point while Jarlath Jackman notched a point from play and one from a free with McBrien also tagging on a point.

With seven minutes to go Fermanagh had worked their way into a winning position but injuries to Breen and O'Brien hit their hopes and it was Antrim who finished the stronger with three points in arow taking them to the win.
