Clogher 2-15 0-8 Clann na Gael

A commanding second half performance from hot favourites Clogher ensured they are in today’s draw for the semi-finals of the Junior championship.

Little separated the sides in a disappointing opening half, but a well organised Clann na Gael side proved very difficult to break down. Clogher edged it 5-4 on the scoresheet at the interval with Ciaran Bogue and Robbie Conway kicking a brace of points for their respective sides.

Clogher began the second half a totally changed side. Conor Shields and Ryan McCaughey kicked points in the opening minutes, and Marc McConnell then intercepted a kick out before dribbling it towards goal and then finding the net. At the other end, Ryan McElroy saved from Ciaran Kerlin. The goal gave Clogher a huge boost in confidence, and they deservedly grabbed a second goal midway through the half  with Go Man of the match Ciaran Bogue finding the net to all but guarantee passage to the last four.

Keenan Donaghey kicked Clann ‘s final point with twelve to go.

Clogher finished the stronger and five late points, including Ryan McElroy’s second free off the deck confirmed victory for the Clogher men.
