Our U13's defeated Drumhowan on Saturday last 4-7 to 3-9 to win the Shield final in terrible weather in Cremartin. A late Jamie Fannin strike (his fourth goal of the game) ensured Tyholland took home the trophy. Tyholland opened their scoring with a goal from Jamie Fannin and this was followed by some excellent free taking by the brilliant Jamie Smith (3), a Conor Rice point and a goal and a point from Jamie Fannin to give Tyholland a 2-5 to 1-4 lead at the break. Tyholland fell behind at the beginning of the 2nd half but restored their lead with a point each from Kevin Hughes and Aaron Maxwell and a 3rd goal from Jamie Fannin. Drumhowan again took the lead into the dying minutes before Jamie Fannin fired home his 4th goal of the game to give Tyholland the win. There were also notable performances from captains Matthew Gillanders (gk) and Daragh Treanor, Gerard Treanor, Joseph Caulfield, Shane Dooley and Gareth Finnan. Credit must also go to the team management of Sean Treanor, Kevin Kavanagh and Barry Farrelly.
