Davitts and Shrule-Glencorrib served up a thriller in the first round of the County U-21 B Championship in rainswept Ballindine on Tuesday evening, with the Davitts boys edging it on a 1-9 to 1-8 scoreline. Things didn’t look good for the homeside at halftime, the teams level 1-4 apiece after Davitts had played with the wind advantage in the first half, and with midfielder and team captain Keith Glynn unable to return to the action through injury, but the team put in a tremendous effort in the second half to shade it by the narrowest of margins.

Michael Waldron and Shane Mitchell impressed at midfield while up front county minor Josh Ronayne was the games most influential player, getting good support from Keith Prendergast and Fergal McGrath.
