The first piece of minor silverware was decided this week when Clann na Gael defeated Strabane 6-11 to 3-4 in the grade 4 League Final at Urney. The winners laid the platform for their victory in the first half as they established a healthy lead and were then able to keep their opponents at arms length for the remainder of the contest. It was a good all round team display from the winners as they deservedly took the silverware against a gallant Sigersons side.

Aghyaran travelled to play Owen Roes in the Grade 4 championship quarter final and they emerged 3-7 to 1-7 winners. The St.Davogs only held a one point advantage at the break but they upped the tempo in the second half. Kacee Goan 2-3, Amy Mackey 1-0, Ciara Byrne 0-2, Eimear Gallagher and Niamh McHugh were the Aghyaran scorers on the night.

Glenelly and Aghaloo went head to head and in a tight encounter it was the latter who prevailed 4-8 to 2-12. Kerri McGlone top scored for Glenelly with 0-7 to her name with Bree McBride 1-1, Maebh McKeown 1-0, Lilly Rose Clarke 0-2, Claragh Mossey and E Daly their other scorers.

Clonoe ran out comfortable winners over St.Macartans at O’Rahilly Park. The hosts got off to a great start with goals from Niamh O’Hagan and Ciara Hughes as well as points from Anna Duffy and Aaoife McLaughlin as they led 3-6 to 0-1 at the break. In the second half the O’Rahillys kept control in the early stages with scores from Aine Heagney and Duffy and they never looked back. Scorers on the night for Clonoe were Ciara Hughes 2-3, Anna Duffy 0-3, Aine Heagney 0-3, Niamh O’Hagan 1-0, Medbh O’Hagan and Aaoife McLaughlin.

A strong second half display saw Pomeroy emerge winners over Drumragh. Rihanna Barrett, Lily O’Kane and Cara Kerlin all had good games for the Sarsfields with Barrett 1-2, Genevieve Norris 1-0, Caoimhe McCarron and Iona Mills getting their scores.

Fintona made sure of their place in the grade three league final when a strong second half display saw them overcome Naomh Eoghan away from home. The Pearses had good performances from Sophie Partington, Lucy O’Flaherty, Clodagh Gallen and Mia Gavin with their scores coming from Partington 2-2, Grainne Cassidy 1-2, Aaoife Wilson 4, Aaoife O’Neill 3, Gallen, Aobh O’Neill and O’Flaherty.

They will play neighbours Dromore in the final after the St.Dympnas overcame Galbally in a meeting between two sides who were joint second in the table. Ashling Cush got the Pearses goal with Eilis Tally and Rachel Kelly among the points and Mia McCann outstanding in defence.
