Seneschalstown U-14’s reached the finals of the County 7 a-side Tournament held in Dunganny last Saturday 29th August with two groups of four teams involved.
Seneschalstown’s first game was against a very lively Summerhill team but once the Seneschalstown players got to the pitch of the game they ran out winners by 0-14 to 0-06.
In the second game we played Dunderry, again the game was played at a frantic pace with Dunderry scoring two frees off the ground to give them four points but again the Seneschalstown lads had too much in the tank and again ran out winners by 0-16 to 0-08.

The third and last group game was against Castletown and again the Seneschalstown lads were tested all the way with some great scores taken by both teams but Seneschalstown eventually ran out winners on a 0-11 to 0-02 score line.
This left us top of Group A and consequently played St Vincents/Curraha in the semi-final who were runners up in Group B, and needless to say this was another step up in tempo and workrate but with a high Seneschalstown tackle rate the turnovers came and this was the winning of the game on a final score of 0-14 to 0-07.
The final was contested by the same two teams as the regional qualifier held in Seneschalstown a week earlier when Seneschalstown eventually won out after a 20 metre kick off. Walterstown came through their group and semi-final also unbeaten and the final was a cracking game once again. Walterstown hit the ground running in the first half and scoring freely compared to Seneschalstown, who just never got going in that half and went in six points down at half time on a score line of Walterstown 0-08 Seneschalstown 0-02.
But these Seneschalstown lads are a resilient group and really took the game to Walterstown from the word go in the second half registering four unanswered points within 3 minutes, then Walterstown got two points to leave the margin at four points with only minutes remaining. Seneschalstown then scored two more points but unfortunately ran out of time and Walterstown eventually ran out two point winners and consequently gained revenge for the previous weeks defeat.
Final Score Walterstown 0-10 Seneschalstown 0-08.
Both teams served up a feast of good football and all the teams who stayed to watch the final really got value for money with the result in the balance to the final whistle.
Seneschalstown Team : Padraig Finegan, Simon Rooney, Cathal Hickey, Joseph Moore, Sean Commons, Jamie Kirwan, Alan Carey, Liam Maguire, Ross Mullen, Woodley Nicholson, Josh Ryan, Seanie Dalton.
