The Juniors secured promotion from Division 3 on Sunday afternoon with an assured display away to Feenagh AFC.

Declan & Brian made 4 changes to the side from the win over Ballingarry B in the League Cup last week. Conor Healy, Tom, Tim Walsh & Steve replaced Eoin (injured) & Mike, Sean & Seamus (unavailable).

Conor took full advantage of his start up front by netting midway through the first half following an assist from Adrian. Captain James Brouder wrapped up the points on 55 mins when he turned home his penalty rebound for his 17th goal of the season. Overall a very professional display from the lads with John J, Micah and Adrian the standout players on the day.

Mountcollins AFC stayed on course for a historic double and first ever silverware at junior level after a solid display in the League Cup Semi Final at Glasha Park.

Mountcollins made 2 changes from the previous game with Abbey B with Adrian and Conor S replacing the unavailable Tom Mc and Conor M. Mountcollins played with the wind in the first half and started strongly creating several early chances. The breakthrough came on 20 minutes when Adrian played in Evan who crossed expertly for Seamus to nod home from six yards. Shortly after Micah had a brilliant shot saved by the Ballingarry keeper as we look to increase our advantage. Ballingarry had one half chance at the end of the half when the left winger fired in a low shot from a tight angle which was tipped behind from a corner by Mike. Half-Time 1-0

The early stages of the second half were much more competitive and Ballingarry always looked dangerous from set-pieces. They got their reward on the hour when a corner was only half cleared, a low shot from the area was parried by Mike and Ballingarry were quickest to react rifing it into the roof of the net. Credit to the lads they didn't drop the heads and substitute Conor Healy scored our second after some tenacious tackling in the penalty area. Mountcollins wrapped up the game 10 minutes from time with almost a carbon copy of our opening goal. Evan found space and this time sent in a low cross which seamus guided home with his right foot from six yards. Ballingarry had one final chance 3 minutes from time, however John J was on hand to clear off the line. Again a very encouraging display with all players playing well throughout. Best for Mountcollins on the day were Evan Lacey, Seamus Murphy and Eoin Moroney.
