The Grade one U14 Championship final will be between Eglish and Galbally after they overcame Ardboe and Cappagh respectively at the weekend.

Goals proved to be key for Eglish in their win as it finished 6-7 to 0-18. Brian Og McGuckin and Senan Donnelly were among the scorers for the St.Patricks while Odhran Coleman, Ciaran McKeown and Ruairi O’Neill were on target for the Rossas with Cahir McKeown, Matthew Mallon and Conan Doris playing well for them.

Galbally produced a sterling fightback away to Cappagh to edge the verdict thanks to two late goals as it finished 3-8 to 2-8. Cappagh controlled the first half and that was reflected on the scoreboard as they established a 1-6 to 0-2 lead. Fintan McVeigh got the first goal for the Pearses with Finbarr Quinn, Neil McElroy, Tiernan Corrigan, Jaiden Dorman and Joseph Moylan among the points. With time running out a Patrick Jordan goal levelled matters before Finbar Quinn proved to be the hero for the visitors when he found the net right at the end. Best for Galbally were Marcus McLaughlin, Patrick Jordan, Odhran McGeary and Finbarr Quinn.

Na Doiri Oga put up a brave show in the grade two league final before losing out to a strong Dromore side at Newtownstewart. A slow start left them chasing the game but goals from Cathaoir Campbell and Corbin O’Neill either side of the half had them right back in contention. Ben O’Neill weighed in with a brace of points while Corbin O’Neill got a second major but they had left themselves with too much to do as Dromore ran out worthy winners on the day.

A last gasp goal saw Killeeshil make it through to the final of the grade three championship at the expense of Owen Roes on a 4-4 to 4-2 scoreline. Luke McCoubrey 1-3, Jack Holland 2-0, Charlie Hughes 1-0 and Ethan Mulgrew 0-1 were their scorers with solid performances at the back from Rioghan McCann, Daithi Moss, Padraig Small and Finn Donnelly.

Stewartstown’s hopes of reaching the grade four decider ended at the semi final stage when they came up against a strong Drumquin side. James Hughes top scored for the Harps with five points to his name with Charlie Park getting a brace and Fintan Kelly also on target. As well as those three players Stewartstown keeper Conan Kelly also played well pulling off some superb saves over the course of the sixty odd minutes.
