The 7s were called off on Wednesday night because of the weather early on in the week and the promise of more to come.  We weren't using the council field this year but our old field was in poor shape and unlikely to be playable.  Our new field probably would have been alright but it couldn't have staged the whole tournament.

We are hoping to get County Board approval to run the tournament on 8th May - the day before the La na gClub on 9th May.  Invites will be going out again soon.

Caolan is from Killeavy.  Played minor and u16 this year and helped to win two league titles.  First player from St. Paul's to win an Ulster Colleges All-Star and they are rightly chuffed about it.  I think, though I stand to be corrected, that he might also be the first from Killeavy to win one.

How can you put Ogs in this category?  There are five teams within two points of Ogs.  If Killeavy beat them on Sunday then they will lie second in the table.

With their county players easily, cillsleibhe.....they may struggle with out them i would admit,but so does Dromintee....but wit a full squad they have no fear of relegation, and lets face it wit armagh in the qualifiers club teams will hav their county players for at least the next 3 weeks possibly....they certainly put it up to cross tonite obviously,as close as any of the rest of us came to date....

As predicted - Killeavy now lie second in the table after an excellent performance with a weakened side against the Ogs.  Hard to believe this was the same side that surrendered to Cross only a couple of weeks back. 

A great game yesterday with the lead changing hands 5 or 6 times.  The Ogs missed a couple of late chances and were unlucky not to come away with a draw for their efforts.

Mullaghbawn 1-09
Cullavile 0-06

Good win, we need to be pickin up these points at home....Tell u what, other than OGs and cross its prooving to be a tight enuf league this year,rest are reasonably matched...

Culloville 1.9 Killeavy 0.15

Much better performance all round from Killeavy after three straight defeats.  Gary Reel outstanding as makeshift midfielder due to injuries.

Cullyhanna 10 Killeavey 4

Good win for the pats despite having midfielder sent off for 2 yellow cards. No stevie for Killeavey though. Good battling performance with an awesome display from Eugene Casey in almost unplayable conditions.

Backs and midfield worked really hard and good to see a better appetite from our lads. Great displays from Stephen Reel Eoin Mc Ardle, Brookie and Paidi Mc Creesh in defence. Tony Donnelly worked hard with Ciaran o hare and Mal round midfield with all the forwards woking hard under pressure.

Terry Toner made his debut in goal and done well.

Match should never have been played due to waterlogged pitch. Still its a great two points for us and badly needed as well.

I think the match actually finished St. Pat's 0.09 - Killeavy 0.03

The match should never have been played as conditions underfoot were terrible and the players were splashing through puddles all over the field.  Don't want to take anything away from St. Pat's who were far more up for the game than a strangely lethargic Killeavy.  We had only one shot on goal in the second half and were guilty of overplaying the ball all over the field.  St. Pat's were far more direct and thoroughly deserved their win.

You should also have mentioned that Killeavy's midfielder was also sent off for two yellow cards as well.

Heard Killeavy bt Wolfe Tones by a point with the last kick of the game...

The Clans Cullyhanna game was far closer than the scoreline would suggest, best for Cullyhanna was no doubt the ref (Joe Murtagh?) who had a f*cking stinker. Clans started brightly and led 4-1 after 15 mins, however the midfielder got sent off midway for getting wrecklessly involved in what really was handbags. Little between the teams until Cullyhanna got a goal before the break and went in with a 3pt advantage which they never relinquised. Clans came out with intent in second half and dominated proceedings but couldn't convert the scores, pats utilised sweeper well as pointless long balls where launced by clans into their forwards. cullyhanna took every opportunity to stall the game and ruin it as a spectacle ("cramp" etc), and in the last minute were able to score a goal to win comfortably in the end.

I was at the Killeavy game which finished Killeavy 2.10 - Wolfe Tones 2.09   Result was harsh on Tones who were never behind until the last minute.  They were however awarded a soft penalty (awarded against the keeper for over-holding) and Killeavy certainly did enough to deserve a draw if not the win.

St. Brigid's I think are mainly Whitecross.  Clady, Lissummon and O'Hanlon's Poyntzpass may also provide players.

Cavankill Emmets are made up from Belleek, St. Michael's Newtownhamilton and Dorsey Emmets

[Their frustration showed at the end when Enda McNulty got a straight red.]

Mullaghbawn 1.06 - Killeavy 3.12

Mullaghbawn ahead by 2 at half-time 0.6-0.4  Killeavy had a storming second half scoring 3.8 with Mullaghbawn scoring just once (goal).  Killeavy were impressive in the second period though to be honest Mullaghbawn were very poor and seem certain to struggle.  Their frustration showed at the end when Enda McNulty got a straight red.

Is it true one of your players started juggling the ball with his knee or something?

I'm not sure whether the player concerned would have the skill to juggle the ball with his knee though in fairness he did tease Enda a bit by soloing the ball while standing still in front of him.

Eire Og 2-20; Killean 0-0

Holy jasas!

Did you notice this score was omitted from the Irish News on Monday?  Did you also notice that the official county website and Aertel text have the result listed as Eire Og beat Killean? 

Surely there is not a conspiracy of silence to save the blushes of a certain well-known sponsor?
