Our u-14 footballers travelled to Graignamanagh on the 29th March 2017 for the semi-final of the Duggan Steel u-14 Roinn B Football League.
It was a close encounter from throw-in to the final whistle & the lads put in a brave performance in miserable weather conditions.

Braedon Wheeler added three points to the scoreline in the last 10 minutes of the half, two from converted frees. HT score Piltown: 1-3 Graignamanagh 1-2.

Braedon Wheeler scored another point in the 39th minute to bring his tally to four on the night, which was followed shortly after with a point from Gavin Flynn. Graignamanagh then turned up the heat and fought back from a six-point deficit to level the game. FT score Piltown 2-6 Graignamanagh 2-6.
