At the u18 Gaelic An Ríocht lost to Rostrevor by 2-16 to 4-11 at Petit Park. After an early exchange of goals, Reds went three up and would have been further ahead but for a Ryan Mackey block which also inspired his side to a stirring finish to the half when a penalty goal sent us in a point to the good, 1-6 to 1-5. Three times An Ríocht were three points clear in the second half before the home side drew level with their third goal in the fiftieth minute and pressed on to lead by three going into the closing stages. A couple of points brought the margin to the minimum before a second penalty goal looked to have rescued the result for An Ríocht but Rostrevor went straight up the field from the kick out and rattled our net to nick the result.
Team: Curtis Flanagan, John Joe Eakins, Ethan Wright, Jack Rodgers 0-2, Michael Greenan, Reece Flanagan, Ryan Mackey 0-2, Christopher Flanagan, Joel Cunningham, Caomhan Campbell 0-1, Aidan Gribben 0-2, William Harper 0-2, Eoin Sloan 2-7 (2pen, 6f). Subs: Ben Matthews, Cameron Harper, Marc Cunningham, Jerry Lee McVeigh.
An Ríocht played Clonduff in Senior Camogie in the Yellows first outing since their Croke Park triumph and the home side provided a guard of honour for the All Ireland Champions onto the Dunavil pitch. A quarter hour in, An Ríocht led by three points to two points and would have been further in front but for a fine save by the visitors’ keeper. Clonduff came good in the second quarter rattling in 1-5 before in a strong finish to the half An Ríocht pulled back 1-1. There were flashes of brilliance on the restart intertwined with some basic errors as the chance to close the gap was replaced by another scoring spurt from Clonduff who recorded 1-3 before An Ríocht found their range with 1-1 in response. A killer third goal made the result safe for Clonduff but An Ríocht battled to the finish adding a third goal for a final score of An Riocht 3-7 Clonduff 3-16.
Team: Joanna Sloan, Clara Killen, Louise Rodgers, Shaunece Harper, Nicole Cunningham, Aine O’Reilly, Nicole Kelly, Maria Higgins 1-0, Marie Trainor, Aine Fearon 0-3 (2f, 1x45), Carrie Killen 0-1, Sophie Bowater 0-1, Clare Fearon, Colleen Fearon 1-1, Aoife McDowell 1-1.

In the u16 Gaelic Clann Na Banna beat An Ríocht 5-17 to 3-5.
At the Reserve Gaelic An Ríocht v Clonduff at Dunavil, the visitors edged it 3-16 to 3-13. An Ríocht were very much on top early on and led 1-4 to 0-2, Stephen Flanagan punching home the goal. Clonduff settled and went in front 1-7 to 1-5 approaching half time before An Ríocht squared it in added time. It was point for point on the restart with Brendan Allen pushing a Clonduff rasper onto the post before Michael Harper gave us a clear advantage with a goal from the penalty spot following a foul on Stephen Flanagan. Fresh Clonduff legs helped them hit 2-3 to our solitary point over the next ten minutes before Stephen Flanagan’s second goal off a Michael O’Rourke cross brought the margin down to the minimum but we could not get level and the visitors stretched the winning margin to three by the full-time whistle. Brian Sloan and Brian Rodgers played tirelessly at centre-field, Michael Harper and Stephen Flanagan brought knowhow to attack while Paddy McComiskey made the biggest impact of the substitutes introduced.
Team: B Allen, J McCartan, D Sherry, S Cunningham, R Spiers, K Colgan, S Flood, B Rodgers 0-1, B Sloan, R Campbell 0-5 (3f), M Harper 1-1 (pen), C Cole 0-3, A White 0-1, M O’Rourke 0-2 (1f), S Flanagan 2-0. Subs: P McComiskey, D Hardy, P Cordell, B Annett.

At the u14 Gaelic An Ríocht beat Warrenpoint 3-15 to 1-12. An Ríocht came out of the blocks fast with Shea Rafferty getting the first score after 15 seconds followed by Conor McConville and Zac Curran from play and a Darragh McAlinden free before the visitors got on the score board. Then Shea Rafferty got on the end of another ball and stuck it over the bar for a 0-5 to 0-1 lead. CPN knocked over the next 2 scores leaving 2 in it before Cameron Gribben from play and a Darragh Mc Alinden free made it 0-7 to 0-3 but the ‘Point weren’t finished yet levelling the game up with a goal and a point just before half time at 0-7 to 1-4. The restart was equally as tight with it being point for point between the two teams with Jayden White getting the first of three scores in the second half along with points coming from Darragh Mc Alinden Cameron Gribben and Conor Mc Conville leaving it tied at 0-15 to 1-12 but then the break-through came with excellent defensive work coming from the forwards and a block from Ethan Finnegan which fell for Cameron Gribben who went on a run hammering the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-15 to 1-12 in favour of An Ríocht and with the game into injury time An Ríocht added another 2 goals through Oran Mc Aleenan and Luke Rafferty killing the match off on a score line of 3-15 to 1-12.
