Davitts won the South Mayo U-11 C final on Saturday, when defeating Claremorris B by 5-7 to 0-8, in Garrymore, in an entertaining final. Goals win games and Davitts had an ace marksman up front, team captain Evan Ronayne, whose first half hat-trick, formed the foundation for this victory. Davitts led by 3-2 to 0-5 at the break, and as hard as Claremorris tried, they never really looked like defeating their close neighbours.
John Kilkenny had a great game in goals for Davitts. In defence Ryan McLoughlin and Francis Griffin excelled in the full backline, while Ciaran Fahy, the tigerish Dimitri Trench and Ailish Ronayne formed a strong half line. Keelan Cosgrove (1-0) and Kieran Waldron came out on top at midfield. Evan Ronayne (3-2) was the top scorer but playmaker Jack Ronayne (0-1) had a fantastic match. They got good support from Roisin Connor (0-1), Daniel Huane and the impressive Rebecca Waldron (1-2).
Subs used in this match were Stephen Nyland (0-1), Thomas Corless, Aidan and Liam Macken, Ryan and Colin Mulligan and James Corless. A big well done to the team management team of Liam Nyland, David Ronayne and Noel Reapy, who have put in a lot of work throughout the year with these young players.
