Thurs 30th June - Owen Roe's 3-6 Tattyreagh 1-8

The Owen Roes under-16 side got the 2005 season off to a fruitful start. Dermot McMenamin got the scoring under way with a point, before Kevin O'Neill put himself on the line to bravely punch to the net shortly after. McMenamin also hit the net with a goal of his own minutes later following good work from Conor McCrea on the line. The half-time score read 2-1 to 0-4 in favor of the home side.

The second half was as tight as the first half with perhaps the visitors shading it in terms of possession. Barry Doherty and Conor McCay hit scores before Kevin O'Neill was fouled in the box. The resulting penalty was netted by McMenamin. Tattyreagh can count themselves unlucky not to take anything from this game. They accrued a number of wides in this half which ultimately cost them the game. With ten minutes to go Ryan Devine made a great reaction stop to prevent a Tattyreagh goal. However Logue twice, and  Davy Harte knocked over to give Roes the points.

Owen Roes: Ryan Devine, Aaron Doherty, Gerard Devine, Stephen McAuley, Davy Harte (0-1), Ryan O'Neill, Gerard McShane, Marcus McGinley, Kevin O'Neill (1-0), Damian Hannigan, Conor McCay (0-1), Ryan Logue (0-2), Conor McCrea, Dermot McMenamin (2-1), Barry Doherty (0-1)
