U14 Championship

U14 Championship
The U14s travelled to Shandonagh to play the locals in their final league game of the championship on Tuesday 23rd August. Again a semi-final spot was at stake for St Marys if they secured at least a point from this fixture. St Marys were short of a few players owing to injuries and holidays but it was clear after a short while that St Marys would do the necessary on the night. In the end a comfortable win was the result and St Marys now advance to the semi-final of this championship. This is a great credit to these lads as they have shown themselves to have improved steadily all year and with a bit of luck they can now progress further in this competition.
Final Score;St Marys 7-13, Shandonagh 2-09.                                                                                                                                           U14 Championship July 26th

The u14s travelled to Killucan to play the home side in the 5th round of the championship. This was always going to be a big ask for St Marys as this Killucan team is exceptionally strong but the players gave it their all and showed that they have great character and commitment and no little skill. However Killucan’s key players could always find that extra gear and they ran out clear winners in the finish. By no means were St Marys disgraced. With 2 games to go, St Marys destiny is in their own hands and a semi-final spot is not beyond them.

U14 Championship vs Mullingar Shamrocks
St Marys travelled to Springfield to play Mullingar Shamrocks in the 3rd round of the U14 Championship. These teams had met previously in the Feile where St Marys prevailed in a low-scoring encounter but that would be irrelevant in this game. A very wet evening made underfoot conditions tricky and it was a credit to both teams that they produced such a good game of football. St Marys were first into their stride as Sean Lyster claimed the first two points of the game. Shamrocks found their feet and drew level. Saya Nxumalo then pointed but Shamrocks struck 2 more points to lead. Lyster pulled it level again but another brace of points left Shamrocks 2 clear. A good spell for St Marys saw Lyster score a goal sandwiched between points from Francis Duffy and Nxumalo to see them lead by 3 points. Mullingar finished the half strongly scoring 1-02 to a lone Lyster point to leave Shamrocks ahead at the break.

Half-time score: St Marys 1-07, Mullingar Shamrocks 1-08.

Shamrocks scored the first 2 points of the second half to seemingly confirm that the momentum was with them. But this St Marys team has learned to dig deep and they proceeded to get a stranglehold of the game. A point from Nxumalo cut the lead to 2 points before Duffy scored a cracking goal to edge St Marys in front. Within minutes Nxumalo got the final touch to a goalward bound effort to extend the lead to 4 points. It was left to Cathal Moran to finish the scoring with a fine point as St Marys finished the match out strongly to confirm their 3rd win of the championship.

Final Score: St Marys 3-09, Mullingar Shamrocks 1-10.
Team: Matthew Rowden, Anthony Brady, Matthew Bradley, Eddie Whelehan, Eoin Fallon, Mark Hyland, Andrew Bollard, Cathal Moran(0-1), Francis Duffy(1-1), Liam Metcalfe, Saya Nxumalo(1-3), Sean Lyster(1-4), Adam Bradley, Jack Hall, Pauli Carpenter, Nathan Raftis, David Cole, Cian Gahan, Sean Downey, Jude Keegan, Jamie Rooney, Cathal Jessop, Cormac Dunne, Fionn Daly, Shane Bollard, Dylan Hanrahan, Patrick Kryzek. U14 Championship -------------------  Monday 13th June.
The u 14s played their second game in the Championship when they visited Tyrrellspass on Monday 13th June. Having lost to the same opposition only 11 days earlier in the final game of the league, St Marys knew they would have to pull out all the stops to get a result in this game. A re-jigged St Marys team took to the field in an effort to prise the points out of the game. There were no scores for the first ten minutes as both teams probed each other, and exchanges were very even. Tyrrellspass drew first blood with a point. St Marys then camped in the Tyrrellspass end for most of the half and were rewarded with 4-03 before Tyrrellspass snatched a goal before half-time to leave the score 4-03 to 1-02 in favour of St Marys at the break, Saya Nxumalo grabbing 2 of the goals, and Pauli Carpenter and Adam Bradley getting a goal apiece. 
Saya completed a hat-trick as St Marys further extended their lead with a quick 1-02 after the break. Tyrrellspass goaled twice to negate this, but a brace of goals from Jack Hall left St Marys with a big lead. Tyrrellspass to their credit did not fold and surged in the final quarter to score 3-01 to close the gap to 6 points. A point from Matthew Rowden eased St Marys nerves and was followed by the final whistle. So St Marys have won their first two games in the championship and look forward to the remainder of the campaign unfolding.
