Junior
In the third round of the ‘C’ championship, we lost 0-16 to 0-11 against Silvermines in Dolla. We were on top in the opening quarter and led 0-4 to 0-0 after twelve minutes. However, Silvermines dominated the remainder of the half and led by 0-5 to 0-4 at the break. We ran out of steam in the second half, and Silvermines were deserving winners.

Minor
In the County semi-final, we lost 3-23 to 2-15 to a very good Holycross Ballycahill side in Borrisoleigh. The Mid team led 0-13 to 0-7 at the break and got a grip of the game in the third quarter with goals in the 35th and 40th minutes. To MacDonaghs credit, they never gave up the fight, and Michael Cleary banged in a brace of goals in the 49th and 58th minutes.
