The u 12 Development league kicked off in a dry Strandhill last Saturday. Strand Celtic Whites had a tight first half against a game Boyle Celtic side.

Our reserve side played out an exciting two all draw with Chaffpool united on Sunday afternoon at a sunny but windswept strandhill community park. Our scorers on Sunday were Stephen Kilfeather and Stephen Hargadon. The lads turned in a resolute performance against a strong Chaffpool side with some young players making their debut. Our super league side went down to a two nil defeat against a strong Cliffoney United side. Although under strength we could not match the Cliffoney men at mullaghmore on Sunday morning last.

Our senior team got all three points after an exciting game against Ballygawley Celtic on Sunday morning last.

U14 BOYS LEAGUE GRP 2:  MANOR RANGERS  2  STRAND CELTIC 1
Bee Park

Our under 14 green team were very unfortunate to go down to Manorhamilton Rangers on Saturday morning last when two late goals denied them a draw.

Goalkeeper Ciaran Doyle was outstanding and was well supported by a strong and resolute backline of Cathal Henry, Neil Murray, Cian Byrnes and Mickey Reddin. Overall this was a great battling performance from our lads and we got a deserved goal when a superb Dylan Doherty free kick was parried and captain Liam Ryan followed in to score.

This was a very promisisng start for our lads who came under a lot of pressure but still managed to create chances throughout the game.
