The seniors lost in Clonduff but the result was overshadowed by a serious injury to midfielder Paul Murney. Best wishes to Paul for a complete recovery and thanks to the ambulance service for their speedy response.

An Riocht were playing well, Murney was dominant at centre field and the forwards were thriving on a good early supply. Paddy Cole had taken a nice goal and though there were too many wides there was also some attractive approach play and memorable points scored.

Fielding minus the county and St. Louis players and with four injured men already in the dug out, full back Steven Flanagan made that five after a quarter hour. Still we led 1:4 to 0:2 five minutes before the break. Then Paul was hurt and in the time added on Clonduff plundered 1:2 from our disarray. Next centre forward Barry Annett limped out of the match at half time.

A combination of frees and spectacular points gradually edged Clonduff in front and though we did not stop trying the result was gone well before the final whistle.
