Castlemitchell u14's battled bravely before their visitors Ballykelly took the Feile shield semi final in Castlemitchell this morning. Castlemitchell started brightly and Eoin Wall took some fine points with some fine play into him from Conor Curtis , Eoin Farrell , Oisin Boylan and Eddie Roycroft.. However Ballkelly found the net to put them back into the match and despite some fine free taking from Bobby Joe Brennan, the visitors took a goal from a deflected free to put them ahead at the break. The young Mitchells came out fighting in the second half and showed great determination and no little skill against their bigger opponents. However despite the magnificent effort from the home side, Ballykelly took a third goal to break the home sides hearts and run out winners by 9 points in the end. The final score was 3-7 to 0-7 in favour of Ballykelly, and we wish them the very best in the final. Scorers on the day for the young Mitchells were Eoin Wall with 0-4 and Bobby Joe Brennan with 0-3. As well as those named others to play well on the day were Robert Lovett, Killian Roycroft and James Byrne. With such a young side great mention must be be made to the many young players on display who showed what a bright future this side will have, well done Corey Brennan, Jack Nolan, Fallou Sangre, Samuel Williams, Stephen Flynn, Cormac Donohue and Cathal Wall.

On a beautiful evening in Castlemitchell on Wednesday night last, the u/14 team ran out convincing winners over a well prepared Ballyteague side on a scoreline of 7-10 to 2-14. This was a very exciting encounter with the excellent Jimmy Hyland putting on a fine display of football and keeping his team in the contest. However after settling into the game , the young Mitchells began to play some fine combination football with some fine goals following some great defending. On the night Castlemitchell converted two penalities through Dylan Brenann and some fine goals by the great play of Darragh Moore. Overall this was a fine team performance with the second half display in particular enjoyed by the home crowd. Once again some fine defending was the cornerstone of the display with Jamie Kirwin, Oisin Boylan, Conor Curtis, Oisin Holland Doyle and Fuad Adisa all playing their part. They were aided by the fore mentioned Brennan and Moore and by Marex Kumas and Aaron Buckley in Midfield.The Mitchell’s team on the night was Corey Brennan, Robert Lovett, Jamie Kirwin, Oisin Boylan, Alex Buttiage, Darragh Moore, Aaron Buckley, Oisin Doyle (Captain), Conor Curtis, Marex Kumas,Eoin Wall, Bobby Joe Brennan,Dylan Brennan,James Mulhall, Dylan Roycroft,Fuad Adisa,Jack Nolan, James Byrne, Dylan Roycroft, Josh McGuckian, The team would like to send best wishes to Aaron Nolan who is out injured at the moment.

On a proud day for the club, Castlemitchell u/14 team made their first appearance in a County Feile final on Sunday last for the first time in over 25 years.

Playing a very talented Ardclough side ,the young Mitchells were behind and fighting a rear guard from early in the day. As the ref blew the half time whistle there was a mountain to climb. However in a very spirited second half performance the lads put it up to Ardclough as their own mentor said after the game giving them a fierce shock in a game that they had totally dominated up to then. Some great football resulted in a goal and some points but heartbreak resulted in the last number of minutes as Ardclough scored three late goals as the Castlemitchell defence, so good on the day, just could not hold out any longer. In the aftermath speeches, Castlemitchell congratulated Ardclough on their much deserved victory but after initial disappointment in the Mithchells dressing room, there was joy that this was the start of what could be a great year for this team. It would be hard to pick or single out any player from the team on the day safe to say everybody gave of their best in the green and white cause.

 The u/14 team on the day was Corey Brennan, Robert Lovett, Jamie Kirwin, Oisin Boylan, Alex Buttiage, Darragh Moore,Dylan Roycroft Aaron Buckley, Oisin Doyle (Captain), Conor Curtis, Tyler Perse, Bobby Joe BrennanAaron Nolan,,James Mulhall ,James Byrne, Dylan Brennan, Jack Nolan, Fuad Adisa and Josh McGuckian.

Best of luck to our under 14 team who are in the Féile final on Sunday morning in St Conleth's Park. Please make a huge effort and come to support this team.
