- ACFL Div 2 – Mac Dáibhéid 0-12 Naomh Úna 0-4
The senior footballers were always in control and dominated the game in this home fixture against Naomh Úna at Páirc Mhic Dháibhéid.
The bases for the win came in the opening 18 minutes of the game when we kicked 0-7 unanswered. Sean Smyth kicked of proceedings with a point from a 20 metre free and a good passage of play down the left side resulted in Gerard Slane kicking his first of the day. CJ Sullivan followed up with a nice right footed point, from the right side, and Jack Scally was on target when he finished after a high catch and subtle handpass from Anthony Rowntree. Young Brady Maguire got in on the scoring when the ball was worked through the hands, down the left side, and he duly converted the opportunity. Sean Smyth got his second after a nice solo and tap over the bar before a shot which looked goal bound from Anthony Rowntree shaved the crossbar for a minor. Naomh Úna got of the mark in the 23rd minute with a well taken point after the ball was worked left and finished with the outside of the boot. The final score of the half went to Sean Smyth who cut in from the right and finished with his left to give us a seven point cushion at the break.
The second half was a low scoring affair. While we managed the ball well we only added a further four points with scores from Sean Smyth (0-3) and Gerard Slane. Although, Naomh Úna tagged on three points we were comfortable winners on a score of 0-12 to 0-4.
Scorers: Sean Smyth 0-6, Gerard Slane 0-2, CJ Sullivan 0-1, Jack Scally 0-1, Brady Maguire 0-1 and Anthony Rowntree 0-1.

- ACHL Div 3 – Mac Dáibhéid 0-12 Padraig Sáirseil 7-18
The senior hurlers put in a lack lustre performance at home to Padraig Sáirseil in their latest league encounter and were soundly beaten. We were no match for them all over the pitch and struggled to put up any sort of defence against a team who were rampant and gave an accurate display of score taking.
Na Sáirseil set out their stall early on, took total control and the game was over as a contest from early on in the first half and any scores we got were more of a consolation and had no impact on their heavy scoring.
Scorers: Marcas Toner 0-3, Chris Gallagher 0-9

- ACFL Div 2 – Naomh Seosamh 2-11 Mac Dáibhéid 0-10
This was a really tight game until the final 15 minutes when the home side asserted and finished the game stronger to take the spoils.
Deaglan Mooney scored after 6 minutes when he evaded the Naomh Seosamh defence to pop over the first point. Caoimhin Slane kicked our second point, after a couple of blocks by the home side and when the ball spilled to him he made no mistake and we followed up with another point from a Gerard Slane free in front of the goals. It took Naomh Seosamh 13 minutes to get their first score of the game and it came courtesy of a well worked goal to level the game. The sides exchanged further points with our scores coming from Gerard Slane after a pinpoint lay off from Anthony Rowntree and CJ Sullivan after a solo run from deep inside his own half. The home side finished the half with two points to edge a point advantage at the break 1-3 to 0-5.
We were level within a minute of the restart when CJ Sullivan kicked a point of the outside of his boot and after a further exchange of points (CJ again), Gerard Slane pointed following quick movement of the ball through hands and Caoimhin Slane gave us a two point advantage with a finish from 30 yards, central to the posts. Naomh Seosamh rallied at this stage kicking seven consecutive points, including one 2 pointer, to lead by five in the 25th minute. We responded with a CJ Sullivan point from a free but a late goal put the gloss on the score for the home side and a seven point win, 2-11 to 0-10.
Scorers: Deaglan Mooney 0-1, Caoimhin Slane 0-2, Gerard Slane 0-3 and CJ Sullivan 0-4

- ACFL Div 2 – Naomh Treasa 1-8 Mac Dáibhéid 1-11
This was one that definitely got away from our senior footballers. We created many good scoring opportunities but at crucial times didn’t execute the score and in the end it came back to bite us as we went down by the minimum.
The opening five minutes were very cagey with both teams sharing good spells of possession but neither showing any ambition or penetration to work the ball into the scoring zone. The first point eventually went the way of the home side and we responded with two points from Caoimhin Slane, the first from the right side of the pitch, with the outside of his boot and the second when he finished off a fine passage of play. We then created a few crossing opportunities to extend our lead but failed to convert and the Glen Road side took advantage when the ball was palmed to the net. We hit back with points from Oskar Deevy and Aaron Slane, from just inside the arc, and Sean O’Neill game us the lead in the 20th minute after a great solo run. Naomh Treasa levelled again when the wind carried the ball in from an acute angle, while another Sean O’Neill point gave us the half time lead 1-2 to 0-6.
We scored the opening point of the second half from Gerard Slane and went further ahead when CJ Sullivan pointed. Naomh Treasa took advantage of a breaking ball following a great block by Sean O’Neill with a point but another CJ Sullivan point restored our goal advantage. The changing point came when we went on a fast break, the attack broke down when a score looked on the cards and Naomh Treasa worked the ball forward and concluded with a foul just outside the card which was duly converted to leave a point between the sides. This galvanised the home team and they kicked the next three points. We pushed hard to create an opportunity to get back into the game but a last ditch shot goal wards by Marcas Toner scratched the paint work on the bar leaving Naomh Treasa the victors 1-8 to 0-10.
Scorers: Caoimhin Slane 0-2, Sean O’Neill 0-2, CJ Sullivan 0-2, Oskar Deevy 0-1, Aaron Slane 0-1, Gerard Slane 0-1 and Marcas Toner 0-1.

- ACHL Div 3 – Mac Dáibhéid 1-13 Glen Rovers 1-18
The senior hurlers put in a much improved performance despite coming out on the wrong side of the score in a keenly contested game at Páirc Mhic Dháibhéid.
With the wind assistance in the first half we put together some great passages of play and took some fine scores. Marcas Toner struck our opening 4 points (3fs) and when Caoimhin Rainey added a brace of points, we lead 0-6 to 0-3 after 23 minutes. However, during this period we were also guilty of some wayward shooting and on several occasions lacked a bit of composure in front of goal when we had the opportunity to extend the lead further. The Armoy side benefitted from this and reduced our lead to a single point, before Caoimhin Rainey took possession of the sliotar from a ruck and raced goal wards, from the right side, and drilled the ball into the corner of the net. Marcas Toner added two points from frees and a final Armoy pointed free sent us in at the break 1-8 to 0-6 in front, with the question as to whether this was a sufficient advantage gained with a strong breeze.
Deaglan Mooney opened the second half scoring, when he won the sliotar from the throw-in and soloed into the opposition’s half and from long range split the posts. However, now with the wind assistance Glen Rovers started to pick off the points with four unanswered points (3fs), closing the deficit to two. Marcas Toner tagged on another point before a good passage of play resulted in an Armoy goal to level the game. We battled hard but were struggling to stop the accuracy of the Armoy side . They edged in front and despite points from Chris Gallagher (0-2) and Deaglan Mooney, we conceded too many frees and were punished accordingly. At the final whistle there were 5 between the sides on a score 1-13 to 1-18.
Scorers: Marcas Toner 0-7, Caoimhin Rainey 1-2, Deaglan Mooney 0-2 and Chris Gallagher 0-2
