Clonmore played Annaghmore at home in the return fixture. The field is in excellent condition and credit to those who continue to keep it marked out so well. Brendan Donaghy was partnered with Shane Donnelly at midfield and Stephen Donaghy made a return at half back. John Grimley scored some excellent long range points through the game. He also made many good runs through. Annaghmore got a goal with a ball over the top on 12 minutes.  Again the younger players made a big impact with James Mullen in the forwards. Ruairi Cunningham was substitued for Ryan Donnelly at corner back, back from injury he had a great game. John Dynes had an excellent 60 minutes at corner back and tracked his player well. Raymond Convie and Marty Convie had good possession of the ball. Half time score Clonmore 0-7 Annaghmore 1-3

Clonmore were on form from the whistle keeping Annaghmore scoreless for the first 10 minutes of the second half. Raymond McBennett continued to impress at corner forward with some fine points. Joe Donaghy moved to Midfield and Stephen went in to full back. The play was a little broken at times and both teams were reduced to 14 men. James Donaghy came in for Shane Donnelly amd scored a late point. The Annaghmore keeper dropped the ball late in the game and it ended in the net. This finished the game as a contest yet Clonmore tagged on a couple of points too. Final score Clonmore 1-14, Annaghmore 1-7. Next match away to Tullysaran.

Naomh Labhaoise Cluain Mhor travelled to meet the local Davitts at Ballyhegan on Monday Evening in the u16 League. With the Clonmore girls sitting mid table in the Division meeting one of the leaders, the clonmore girls knew they were going to be up against it. The Match was capably referred by North board Ref Ciaran Conlan who kept the game flowing throughout which lead to a very enjoyable match. From the beginning Naomh labhaoise took the game to the opposition and with fine defensive displays from Orla Casey,Lauren Dynes and full back Shauna Fanthorpe,there wasn’t a lot getting through for scores. Half time score left Clonmore 5 points up. The second half proved to be very enjoyable full hearted match for all the spectators. Ballyhegan clawed their way back into contention with only 3 points separating the two teams. The long probing runs of Sarah o Hagan,Rebecca Mc Geary and Eve Lavery secured vital scores throughout the game with the later confidently putting a penalty away and half forward Orla Mc Geary scoring a fine left footed goal. The match as a contest faded out in the last 5 minutes with the Clonmore defence frustrating the Davitts attack on many occasions. The management would like to thank all the girls for a great effort throughout and especially all the debutants such as Bronagh Gribben,Grainne Kearney,Suzzanne Mc Quaid and Rachel Pearson who all had full games.

Naomh Eoin had a good win in the U16 championship. Clonmore were represented by Cathal Cunningham, Phillip Mullen and Caolan Cunningham. Cathal Cunningham put in a fine performance of blocking kicks at full back, he then moved to the middle of the pitch and scored a couple of good points. In all the team were very good playing clean skillful football. They did let in a copuple of early goals but got right back in the game and stayed in the lead. A mistake by the Clan's keeper near the end ended any chance of a late comback by Clans. A good game for the many spectators who turned out and as good a father's day present as the boys could have given to the rightly proud fathers (and mothers) who joined in the celebrations. Brian Mallon of Tír na nÓg presented the winning captain with the cup.

Clonmore are having their now annual golf day at Brackaville this Saturday June 27th at 5pm £10 senior £7 junior, all welcome. Damian at the club can provide clubs for free.
