U16 FOOTBALL LEAGUE RD 1

The 2026 playing season got under way last week with the U16 Footballers kicking things off with Rd 1 of the League where Na Fianna took on Tullamore last Wednesday evening in Geashill which brought together last year’s U15 Feile Div 1 and 2 winners and it was the Div 1 winners Tullamore who claimed the win in this encounter on a scoreline of 2-08 to 0-06. Tullamore opened the scoring with the first 2 points inside the opening 10 minutes before Na Fianna got off the mark with their opening point in the 16th minute from Callum Grehan responded to immediately by a pointed free for Tullamore before they struck for their first goal in the 17th minute with a run in from the right wing before shooting to the right corner of the net. The sides then added a point apiece with the Na Fianna score from Rian Duke before Na Fianna struck their 3rd point on the stroke of half time with a pointed free from Adam Kehoe to leave it 1-04 to 0-03 in favour of Tullamore at the break. Na Fianna started the second half as they finished the first with 2 more pointed frees from Adam Kehoe inside the opening 4 minutes with Tullamore responding with a point 5 minutes later before grabbing their second goal in the 11th minute when a high ball in from the left wing was punched to the net at the right post. Tullamore then stretched their lead with the next 3 points before Na Fianna got what would prove to be their’s and the game’s final score in the 20th minute with a point from corner forward Tomas McFadden

MINOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE RD 1

It was also defeat for Na Fianna Minor Footballers as they got their 2026 campaign underway in Clonbullogue against neighbours St Broughans in Rd 1 of the League last Sunday morning as the Clonbullogue parish side claimed the win on a scoreline of 0-13 to 0-08. St Broughans were playing with the very strong wind in the first half and they took full advantage of it opening the scoring with a 2 pointer free in the 8th minute with Na Fianna replying immediately with their first point from Cillian Hogan. This is how it remained until the 18th minute when St Broughans converted their second 2 pointer free. The sides then exchanged a point apiece with the Na Fianna score from Cian Multaney-Kelly before the final 5 minutes of the half when St Broughans stretched clear scoring 7 points without reply including 2 more 2 pointer frees one from out on the right sideline so at the break it was St Broughans with a commanding lead of 0-12 to 0-12. The third quarter saw only the one score a single pointed free for a breach of the 3 man back. This proved to be St Broughans final score and for the last quarter Na Fianna clawed their way back scoring 6 points in a row, 5 from frees all from the boot of Cillian Hogan. Unfortunately the comeback just came up short as St Broughans held on for the win.

NA FIANNA: Adam Harte, Senan Farrell, Killian Dunne, Eoghan Fox, Kajuas Ramanuskas, Cormac O’Grady, Liam Jones, Stevie Byrne, Sean Dempsey, Rory Keogh, Cillian Hogan (0-07), Eoin Gorman, Darragh Flynn, Cian Multaney Kelly (0-01), Eoin Brophill.
