Junior B footballers win

Taghmon/Camross Junior B footballers commenced the defence of their district crown with a facile 3-11 to 0-1 win over Adamstown in Grantstown on Saturday evening in perfect conditions. The team is changed from the team that lost the county final to Kilaneran last year. Gone up to senior are Robbie O'Callaghan, Jimmy Doran, Eugene McGee, and Eamonn Codd. But other players were available who were not available last year including Tomás Banville, Ricky Banville, David Banville, Roddy McDermott and newcomer George Dee. Taghmon lead by 1-7 to 0-0 at half time and were never in any danger. The scorers were Joe Doyle (1-2), Martin Hogan (1-1), Diarmuid Buttimer (1-1), Nicky Cousins (0-2), George Dee (0-2), Tomás Banville, Shane Purcell, and Shane Coady (0-1).
