Clones U-12 A team travelled to Sean McDermott’s on Saturday, and were unlucky not to come away from the game with the win. Played under windy conditions, clones lost the toss and were forced to play against the breeze in the first half.

Shortly Eoin McQuaid and James Mealiff had two great efforts go wide of the posts.

Clones responded with a well taken Eoin McQuaid point from 20 yards. With Jason McNamee and Fabian Beggan having a great half first half in defence.
Second half got off to a great start for Clones, with James Hamill and Daniel freeman scoring points for the visitors, with the second half only started, Sean’s got a player sent off for two yellow cards. What should have spurn Clones on, made Sean McDermott’s more determine to work harder and paid off. They scored 1 – 4 with out reply from Clones. Put Clones kept plugging away and were rewarded by a goal of great hand passing which found its way into the hands of Daniel Freeman and he made no mistake of the finish.
With Sean McGovern and David McCabe coming on for Jason McNamee and Daragh Slowey, Clones were giving a new option in attack. Svajunas Grigaitis scored a point and Daniel Freeman was having a excellent day in front of goals accounting for 1 – 2 on the day, having kick a point from a free kick.
