Clonmore headed to Granemore last Friday, a wet evening which didn't make it pleasant  for players or spectators.

Clonmore fielded an understrength team and it was a deficit which the opponents mercilessly punished. Two points in each half by Brendan Donaghy and James Grimley was the tally for Clonmore. Clonmore did rally in stages but too many errors were seized upon by a stronger Granemore team, and the scoreline tells its own tale.

Granemore 0-19   Clonmore 0-4

With some players back and others still out, Clonmore headed down the road to play neighbours Collegeland. James Grimley's good pass let Stephen Donaghy open the scoring with a fisted point with Brendan Donaghy adding another. Stephen broke the next kick out to Ciaran Beagan whose one two with Raymie McBennett finished with a fantastic goal. Brendan with another point and James Grimley's first on seven minutes gave an average of a point a minute. Collegeland got their first a minute later. After a good block by Gary Nugent outside the large square saw Collegeland first to a loose ball and get another point. Ciaran Beagan, Chris and Raymond Convie and Jack Smith were involved in much of the play. McBennett had a shot saved with Jack Smith getting a well deserved point. Ruairí Cunningham made his mark on the game and along with Tony McGeown did well along the half back line. Collegeland hit another point and one minute later put together a good move to find the net. Stephen Grimley in goal gathered a good ball helped out by D McGeown and S Donaghy winning a free, Chris setting up Tony for a point. Good fielding from Chris and Brendan converting his free. Collegeland got two more, a D McGeown block ended with a James Grimley point. Raymond Convie won a free from some good play helped out by Ruairí and Ciaran. Collegeland converted a free before Tony won a free converted by James. Ruairí did well and should have had a free out for a high challenge, Stephen did well to save a resulting shot but the rebound was netted. 
Collegeland started the half with a    converted free before John Grimley, in for Jack Smith, won a free converted by Brendan. Stephen fisted a point after some good play, Collegeland with a re jigged team hit the net for the third time, with two points soon after. Raymie replied with a point with Joe Prunty coming in for Ciaran Beagan. Stephen came out to gather a good ball with Joe and Tony moving the ball up the field to John whose low pass found Stephen in a position to blast the ball into the net. Brendy gave a good pass to Raymie in space who rounded the keeper for the second goal in one minute. James converted a free, Aidan Daly was involved with Raymond to win a 45 which was converted. James followed with a point. Collegeland stepped up a gear with a point and a goal in two minutes, before James Grimley's point in injury time. Collegeland hit two wides, under pressure from players like Paul McNamee.
