An understrength Davitts B team lost their unbeaten league run in Breaffy on Sunday when beaten, 2-8 to 0-9, by Breaffy B. Davitts started off the better and but for some wayward shooting would have been much further ahead at half time. Davitts did lead by 0-5 to 0-1 at the break but the dismissal of JP Kirrane after twelve minutes didn’t help their cause.

In the second half Breaffy used their numerical advantage to good effect and scored two killer goals. Davitts fought hard right up to the finish and James Cummins, Martin Cosgrove, Mark Ronayne, Pat Coyne, Tommy Mitchell, Josh Ronayne, Liam Kearns and Carlos O Gara took the game to Breaffy while goalkeeper David Mitchell also impressed, but the home team ran out deserving winners.

Davitts team: David Mitchell, Luke Ronayne, Michael Ronayne, JP Kirrane, Martin Cosgrove, James Cummins, Mark Ronayne, Pat Coyne (0-1), Tommy Mitchell, Liam Kearns (0-3), Josh Ronayne (0-4), Carlos O Gara (0-1), Jason Connolly, Dave McDonagh, Richie Kilkenny. Subs: David Ryan, Dara Halligan, Pat Hopkins, David Connolly.

Crossmolina: 2-12

Davitts: 1-10

Davitts Senior team travelled to Crossmolina on Saturday evening and, whilst again

proving they can put it up to the big boys, still came home without the league points. The game was tit for tat early on until Crossmolina goaled in the 15th minute to put them into a 1-5 to 0-3 lead. Davitts responded well and an excellent Josh Ronayne goal, cleverly created by Michael Conroy, and points by the most impressive Paul Carey (2) and Ronan McNamara left Crossmolina ahead by 1-7 to 1-6 at the break.

The home side demonstrated why they have been one of the top teams in the county, and indeed country, for the past number of years with their clever second half play although spurned goal chances by Ronayne, Aidan McTigue and McNamara could have changed the outcome of this game.

Davitts were best served by Mark Diskin, Alan Roche, James Cummins, Ronan McNamara, Keith Prendergast (1st half), the excellent Paul Carey, Josh Ronayne, Aidan McTigue and Michael Conroy.

Davitts: Mark Diskin, Colm Roche, Michael Waldron, Kevin Gallagher, Michael Ronayne, Alan Roche, James Cummins, Ronan McNamara (0-2), Keith Prendergast, Paul Carey (0-2), Josh Ronayne (1-1), Liam Kearns, Aidan McTigue (0-3), David McDonagh, Michael Conroy (0-2). Subs used: Carlos O Gara, Pat Coyne, Colm Boyle.

Davitts and Islandeady U-14 teams met in the league in Ballindine on Thursday evening and they served up an absolute thriller with the visitors just about shading it to win by 2-13 to 2-10. Davitts had led by 1-6 to 0-6 at the break with outstanding midfielder Evan Ronane scoring 1-5 and Daniel Huane getting the other point.

Islandeady came out with all guns blazing in the second half as the game balanced on a knife edge. They ate into the Davitts lead and two well worked goals had the visitors ahead by four points with ten minutes remaining but a goal from the hard working Jamie Mullee and another Huane point tied the game. Islandeady were not going to be denied however as they scored the final three points of this pulsating game.

Best for Davitts were Caelainn Mullee, a very promising goalie, Francis Griffin, Ryan McLoughlin, Kieran Fahy, Kieran Waldron, Evan Ronane, Daniel Huane, Jamie Mullee and Cian Treacy.
