The minor footballers also played Clanna Gael in Leap on Sunday morning. They put in a good effort and while they were beaten on the score of 0-12 to 1-6 there was a lot of positives to be taken from the performance.

Results 
The U21 footballers were in championship action on Saturday 5th March when they took on Kilmeen in Ardfield. They started reasonably well but never really got going. After the early exchanges when they had the majority of possession they were not making progress with scores. When Kilmeen goaled just before half time they went in ahead 1-6 to 0-5 and now had the momentum. The Kilmacs kept working hard but the scores would not come and Kilmeen kept tagging on and eventually were the winners on the day 2-14 to 0-10.

The Junior A's played Valley Rovers in the league on Sunday and had a welcome win on the score 3-15 to 0-4.
