Minor:
The minor team secured an extremely hard fought victory against Shannon Gaels last Saturday in the Championship quarter final in Croghan last Saturday. Elphin made the brighter start and had a number of scoring opportunities early on but missed them all. Shannon Gaels then had a great spell where they scored 1-3 without reply and were on top. Elphin’s defence tightened up after this and they gradually clawed themselves back into the game and trailed by 1-4 to 0-3 at half time. Elphin came out strong in the second half and reduced the deficit to two points and Shannon Gaels put three between the teams again. The crucial point of the game came midway through the half when Martin McCaffrey was pulled Elphin got a penalty which Gerry Cregg converted. Shannon Gaels retook the lead with a pointed free but a point from Shane Beirne levelled matters and a last gasp kick from a tight angle by Frankie Cregg gave Elphin the lead for the first time and they held out for the win. They will now face the winners of St Croans and Tulsk and will take place in the coming weeks. Team:B. Oates, R. Beirne, K. Beirne, J. Sweeney, S. McDermott, D. Kelleher, P. Morris, E.
