The U14s suffered defeat for the second
year in succession in the League Final on Saturday. However, despite the
defeat, the lads should be very pleased with their performances throughout the
course of the year. They started brightly in Saturdays final, with an early
goal from Daniel Brady. Stewartstown then took control and made full use of the
wind advantage to open up a comfortable lead before points from Peter O'Neill
and Michael Cassidy reduced the margin at half time to nine points.
Stewartstown then scored an early goal in the second half to leave Ardboe with
an uphill struggle, but a string of fine points from David Mulgrew, Michael Lynn
and Oliver Mallaghan helped to reduce the margin, but it wasn't enough. Despite
the defeat, the lads held their heads high after the game, with fine
performances from Eddie Sheeky and Kevin Coney in the defence.
