Under 21

The footballers qualified for the semi-final with a 3-9 to 2-5 victory over Lorrha/Rovers in Ballinderry. Despite the home side dominating possession in the first half MacDonaghs enjoyed a five-point lead at the interval. A solid defensive performance in the second half laid the foundation for victory. Team: Kevin Shinners, Kevin Oakley, Cormac Mannion, Sean Quinlan, Owen Usman, Martin Grace, Mark O’Neill, Cian Darcy, Craig Morgan, Sean McAdams, Luke Dervan, Matthew Spain, Aaron Morgan, Kian O’Kelly, Páidí Williams.
