JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Rock defeated Killyman in O'Neill Park Dungannon on Sunday last to
advance to the semi final of the Junior Championship. A strong first
half showing playing into a strong wind saw Rock go in at half time
with a three point lead 1-7 to 1-4, the Rock goal coming from Conor
McCreesh. Despite a Killyman goal from a second penalty early in the
second half which put the teams on level terms, Rock dominated the
remainder of the game with some superb point scoring and ran out
comfortable eight point winners on a final scoreline of Rock 1-16
Killyman 2-5. Rock scorers: Conor McCreesh(1-8), Aidan McGarrity(0-4),
Ryan Crilly(0-1), Eamonn Ward(0-1), Enda McWilliams(0-1), Diarmaid
