16/11/10

Seniors: We secured senior status for 2011 with a win over Carrickmacross last Sunday, 0-14 to 0-8. It was a victory that was achieved with a valiant second half performance and whole team effort, as our 14 scores were spread between 8 different players. Carrick raced into a 2 point lead after 5 minutes, but were then rocked when they had 2 dismissals on separate incidents in the opening 10. We took advantage of this by scoring 4 consecutive points in 7 minutes to go ahead by 2 after 14 minutes. However, despite their numerical disadvantage, it was the home side who finished the half stronger outscoring us 4 points to 1 to leave the half time score Carrickmacross 0-6 Gaeil Triucha 0-5. Only a 3 point victory would suffice our senior survival hopes, and it was in the second half that the Truagh lads duly obliged with a tremendous 2^nd half performance. Carrick widened the point’s gap to 2 in the opening minute of the half, but we leveled the game after 38 minutes with points from Daniel McKenna and Niall Coyle. Noel Clerkin (44’), Daniel McKenna (47’) and sub Daniel Finnegan (49’) then put the important 3 points between the sides with just 10 minutes remaining. Daniel McKenna then had the score of the game with a point from a side line ball to put 4 between the sides on 51 minutes. Carrick reduced the lead to 3 a minute later with their last score of the game. Unusually, it was the Truagh full back line who broke away to score the final 3 points, Rory Treanor (55’ & 60’) and Niall Felly (57’) to finish the game 6 point victors, with a fulltime of Carrickmacross 0-8 Gaeil Triucha 0-14. The win meant we had accumulated 16 points over the season, joint with Carrickmacross. However, as we finished ahead of Carrick on head to head score basis, 0-21 to 0-17 in aggregate, we finished a place above them. The consolidation of our position in senior can hopefully now propel us to challenge for senior honours in the near future. Our team and scorers were: Ian Treanor; Niall McQuillan, Niall Feely (0-1), Rory Treanor (0-2); Damian McRory, Keith Sheerin, Niall Coyle (0-1); Barry Cuddy (0-1), Neil McRory; Niall McMeel, John Treanor, Pauric McKenna; Daniel McKenna (0-4, 1f, 1sl), Noel Clerkin (0-2, 1f), Mark Counihan (0-1). Subs used: Daniel Finnegan (0-1) for Neil McRory (43mins), Christopher McKenna for John Treanor (48mins) & Mike Treanor for Rory Treanor (60mins).

Seniors: We won our penultimate league game at the weekend, beating Drumhowan away 1-11 to 1-9. It was our first half performance that provided the basis of the win where we outscored the home side 8 points to 2. Drumhowan had opened the scoring of the game in the 10^th minute, but only added their second in injury time of the 1^st half. We had scored 8 successive points in the interim period, all from play from Neil McRory (3) , Niall McMeel, Daniel McKenna, Noel Clerkin and Mark Counihan (2) which left the half time score Drumhowan 0-2 Truagh 0-8. We failed to find our rhythm of the opening half on resumption of the second and Drumhowan capitalized on it by levelling the game in the 45^th minute with 6 consective points. Sub, Daniel Finnegan, then got a goal in the 52^nd minute to open our second half account and put us back in the lead. However this was quickly cancelled out a minute later, when Drumhowan also scored a goal. With 3 minutes remaining Noel Clerkin put us back in front with a point. Two points inside a minute of injury time from Daniel McKenna and Mark Counihan extended our lead to 3 points. Drumhowan closed the game with a point in the 3^rd minute of injury time to finish the game Drumhowan 1-9 Gaeil Triucha 1-11. It was a valuable win for us as the two league points gained, along with other results that were meaningfully played out, mean we now regain the opportunity to play for senior status in our final game. Our team and scorers were: Anthony Treanor; Keith Sheerin, Niall McQuillan, Niall Feely, Rory Treanor; Keith Sheerin, Damien McRory, Niall Coyle; Neil McRory (0-3), Barry Cuddy; Niall McMeel (0-1), John Treanor, Padraig McKenna; Daniel McKenna (0-2), Noel Clerkin (0-2), Mark Counihan (0-3).

Seniors: We exited the championship on Friday night in Emyvale, going under 1-08 to 1-12 to Clontibret. Clontibret started the game brighter going 2 points better after 8 minutes. We leveled proceedings with 2 points in the 9^th and 10^th minute with points from Noel Clerkin and Mark Counihan. Clontibret pulled ahead with a point and a Conor McManus goal by the 14^th minute. A converted free from Neil McRory and a Mark Counihan point reduced the deficit to 2 points after 18 minutes. We added a further point from Neil McRory in the 26^th minute which was sandwiched between two Clontibret points to finish the half Gaeil Triucha 0-5 Clontibret 1-5. Clontibret opened the second half hitting 4 successive points to lead by 7 points on 40 minutes. We responded in the 47^th minute with a Keith Sheerin point from a 45m kick. Further pressure was applied as Mark Counihan scored a point before sub Daniel McKenna fired in a goal to leave just 2 points between the sides with 11 minutes to go. However, it was Clontibret who got the next vital points, scoring 3 points to distance the sides by 5 going into injury time. Noel Clerkin added a free to finish the game Gaeil Triucha 1-08 Clontibret 1-12. Clontibret benefited greatly from their leading marksman and county player McManus who scored 1-9 in total, of which 0-6 were frees, some very harshly awarded. The result saw us go out of the competition the club ultimately craves and in that respect was gut wrenching as there was real belief that this team could have advanced further.Our team and scorers were: Anthony Treanor; Keith Sheerin (0-1, ‘45m), Rory Treanor, Niall Feely; Niall Coyle, Damien McRory, Niall McQuillan; Neil McRory (0-3, 1f), Barry Cuddy; Daniel Finnegan, John Treanor, Pauric Treanor; Niall McMeel, Noel Clerkin (0-2, 1f), Mark Counihan (0-2).

U-21s: We captured the U21 division 2 Kerley Cup on Tuesday night week beating Emyvale 2-11 to 1-06. It was a convincing victory for the lads and were in command throughout. We started the game strongly scoring 3 points in the first 7 minutes, Christopher McKenna and a brace from Sean McKenna getting our scores. Emyvale opened their account with a point in the 16^th minute before we resumed control and accumulated 1-4 in the following 10 minutes. Daniel McKenna claimed 1-1, while Padraig McKenna and Sean McKenna amassed the other scores. During this period we had Daniel Finnegan sent off in the 23^rd minute as a result of his second yellow card. Each team added a further 2 points before the break, Sean McKenna getting ours, to leave the half time score Gaeil Triucha 1-9 Emyvale 0-3. Emyvale improved in the second half closing the gap to 5 points by the 41^st minute. Gary Feely eased the pressure with a point in the 45^th minute. Emyvale added another point, before the game was closed out when Pauric Treanor scored a goal in the 53^rd minute. Daniel McKenna added another point to complete our scoring and finish the game Gaeil Triucha 2-11 Emyvale 1-06. Captain Gary Feely received the Kerley cup to secure the men’s first silverware of the year in front of a jubilant crowd.

Minors: We comprehensively defeated Clontibret in the minor league final on Saturday in Scotstown 4-12 to 0-07. We got off to a perfect start, leading 1-6 to no score after 20 minutes, with Sean McKenna getting the goal. Clontibret, who recently won the minor championship, opened their account in the 21^st minute with a point. However Clontibret’s response was short lived as we added a second goal (John McCarron) before the break to leave us in front by 11 points at half time, Gaeil Triucha 2-7 Clontibret 0-1. The second half started off more even, 4 points shared in the first 10 minutes. Truagh put aside any doubts of the eventual name on the trophy with 2 goals in the 40^th and 45^th minute to put 17 points between the sides. Sean McKenna added to his personal tally with another goal and Adam Treanor claimed the other. 6 points were divided between the two sides in the remainder of the game to leave the full time score Gaeil Triucha 4-12 Clontibret. This was a fine achievement by the Truagh lads, as this emphatic win made it back to back minor league titles for the club.

Seniors: We put in a tremendous performance in the championship, shocking Monaghan Harps with a 2-10 to 1-9 win, to advance to the quarter finals of the senior championship last Friday evening in Emyvale. After taking the lead through a first minute free by Noel Clerkin, the harps responded with 1-1 to take the lead. Three points in three minutes from Daniel McKenna (14), Noel Clerkin (15) & Daniel Finnegan (16) levelled the game. The harps added another point to re-take the lead for what ended up their last time of the game in the 18^th minute. But it was Truagh who finished the half stronger: Mark Counihan scored a goal on 21 minutes, with Noel Clerkin adding a point, before adding a further goal just before half time to give us a healthy 2-5 to 1-2 half time lead. We opened the second half as we closed the first, scoring 2 points to put 8 points between the sides on 33 minutes. Our points came from Daniel McKenna and Daniel Finnegan. Monaghan Harps then found their form, and for the following 15minutes sustained considerable pressure on Truagh, emassing 7 points in total against our 2 (Barry Cuddy & John Treanor) to put just a goal between the sides with 8 minutes to go. However the Truagh team showed their resolve and soaked up the remaining attacks while adding a fine free from Daniel McKenna on 56 minutes to close the game 4 point victors. Our team and scorers were: Anthony Treanor; Keith Sheerin, Rory Treanor, Niall McQuillan; Niall Coyle, Damien McRory, Padraig McKenna; Neil McRory, Barry Cuddy (0-1); Daniel Finnegan (0-2), John Treanor (0-1), Niall McMeel; Daniel McKenna (0-3, 2f), Noel Clerkin (1-3, 3f), Mark Counihan (1-0).

In the subsequent 3 minutes we took the lead hitting 1-2 in succession, with our points coming from Daniel Finnegan and Mark Counihan while Keith Sheerin hit a fine goal. We remained in front until the 16^th minute before Casleblayney scored their first goal, to make it 1-4 each. Our intervening point came from Niall McQuillan. Only 2 further points were scored in the remainder of the second half, both for Truagh with Keith Sheerin converted a 45m and Gary Meehan opening his scoring to leave the half time score 1-6 to 1-4 in favour of us. The home side responded immediately from the second half throw-in, scoring a goal, followed by 2 points to put them in front 2-6 to 1-6 on 37 minutes. Daniel Finnegan replied with a point on 38 minutes before ‘Blayney added a further 2 to put 4 between the sides. A long range opportunist goal by sub Daniel McKenna, reduced the deficit to a minimum midway through the 2^nd half. It was the closest the sides would get for the remainder of the game as Castlblayney extended the lead to 3 points with 10 minutes remaining. 6 points were shared between the sides in the last 10, our points coming from Daniel McKenna and a brace of freekicks from Mark Counihan to leave the final score reading 2-10 to 2-13.

After going behind by a point in the 8^th minute, we scored 1-4 without reply to lead by 6 points in the 25^th minute. Our goal came from Noel Clerkin, while the points were spread between Mark Counihan, Gary Meehan, Noel Clerkin and a free from Neil McRory. Clontibret responded with a point, just before the break, and then added another 2 points at the resumption of the 2^nd half to leave a goal between the sides on 40 minutes.

Clontibret proceeded to hit their purple patch of the game, hitting a successive 1-4 to take the lead for the first time in the game on 51 minutes. Midfielder, Barry Cuddy, equalized a minute later, but Clontibret re-established their lead with another point with 6 minutes remaining. However, this did not deter Truagh as we worked possession into the oppositions half resulting in frees that Neil McRory converted in the 58^th and 60^th minute to give us a much needed 1 point victory. Our team and scorers were: Ian Treanor; Niall McQuillan, Niall Feely, Niall Coyle; Rory Treanor, Keith Sheerin, Darren Todd; Neil McRory (0-3f), Barry Cuddy (0-1); Pauric Treanor, Noel Clerkin (1-2), Niall McMeel; Gary Meehan (0-2), Mark Counihan (0-1), Daniel Finnegan.

Latton replied with the only goal of the game on 4 minutes and added a point a minute later. We responded with 2 points, another Christopher McKenna point (7) and our last point of the half scored by Daniel McKenna-free on 11 minutes, closing the gap to a single point. Latton added a further 3 points before half time (13, 16 & 18mins) to leave 4 between the sides, 0-3 to 1-4.

We opened the second half with a much improved effort registering 4 points in the opening 10 minutes, 2 each from Sean McKenna and Christopher McKenna. However, Latton found their scores in sporadic attacks, ensuring their lead remained a 3 point gap with 7 minutes remaining. Truagh eventually found their range in the last 6 minutes, leveling the game on 60 minutes with converted frees from Christopher McKenna and Daniel McKenna.

Seniors: We put our disappointment from our first 2 games behind with a deserved home win over Ballybay on Wednesday evening, 2-9 to 1-8. We opened the game in tremendous form which saw us open a 2-5 to 0-0 lead after 25 minutes. Our goals came from defender Damian McRory and a Daniel McKenna penalty, who was making his first start for the senior side. Ballybay registered their first score, a goal on 27 minutes, and added a point before the interval to leave the half time scores Truagh 2-5 Ballybay 1-1. In the second half, Ballybay closed the gap further with 4 successive points to leave just a goal between the sides on 40 minutes. However, we responded with fine resolve sharing the next 6 points in the following 20 minutes before Daniel McKenna hit a long range point in injury time to secure our first win of the season, 2-9 to 1-8. Our team and scorers were: Ian Treanor; Darren Todd, Niall Feely, Rory Treanor; Niall McQuillan, Damian McRory (1-0), Niall Coyle (0-1); Barry Cuddy (0-1), Gary Feely (0-1); Niall McMeel, Neil McRory (0-1), John Treanor; Daniel McKenna (1-4, 1p3f), Noel Clerkin (0-1f), Ciaran Treanor.

We were out at home again on Sunday but lost to Carrickmacross, 0-7 to 0-9. We started the game brightly going 2 points in front with scores from Daniel Finnegan and Neil McRory. Carrick then started to exert their influence on the game, shooting 4 points without reply. 2 points were shared in the last minute of the half, with ours coming from John Treanor to leave us behind at half time, 0-3 to 0-5. On the resumption of the second half, points were again exchanged, Noel Clerkin pointing for us. We then pushed level at 0-6 each on 43 minutes with scores from John Treanor and a converted free from Noel Clerkin. The away side regained their lead with additional points on 49 and 57 minutes. And although a converted Noel Clerkin free with 2 minutes remaining gave us some optimism for taking at least a draw, Carrick extinguished this hope with a further point to leave the scores at full time 0-7 to 0-9 in favour of the visitors. Our team and scorers were: Ian Treanor; Darren Todd, Niall Feely, Rory Treanor; Niall McQuillan, Damian McRory, Niall Coyle; Barry Cuddy, Gary Feely; Niall McMeel, Neil McRory (0-1), John Treanor (0-2); Daniel Finnegan (0-1), Noel Clerkin (0-3, 2f), Ciaran Treanor.

The event is held in the Hillgrove hotel on the May bank holiday Sunday, 2^nd May and is sponsored by Silver Hill Foods. Tickets can be obtained from any of the boxers or club committee members, price €20.

Seniors: Our seniors lost in their first league game of the year at home to Scotstown, 0-7 to 1-7. The team will be disappointed with the loss as they had the better of Scotstown in many positions and missed several scoring opportunities throughout the game. It was Scotstown who started their campaign brightly though, registering 1-2 to 0-0 after 11 minutes. It was not until the 17^th minute that Truagh scored first, a Noel Clerkin point. Indeed, we only added one further score to our tally before half time, a Keith Sheerin point to leave the half time score Gaeil Triucha 0-2 Scotstown 1-5. We were the dominant side in the second half. After an initial Scotstown point, we went on to score 4 successive points with 14 minutes left to play. However, in the last quarter, we failed to capitalise on our supremacy, where both teams shared a score to finish the game 0-7 to 1-7. Our team and scorers were: Ian Treanor; Darren Todd, Niall Feely, Rory Treanor; Keith Sheerin (0-1), Damian McRory, Niall Coyle (0-2); Barry Cuddy, Gary Feely; Niall McMeel, Neil McRory, Pauric Treanor; Daniel Finnegan (0-1), Noel Clerkin (0-3, 2f), Mark Counihan. Subs used: Niall McQuillan for Keith Sheerin (57 mins), Ciaran McCarron for Pauric Treanor (57 mins) & Paul Donaghue for Ciaran McCarron (60mins).

We were out again on Sunday and in a below par performance, we lost away to Latton, 0-06 to 1-12. We started the game promisingly going 0-4 to 0-2 up on 10 minutes with our scores coming from Niall McMeel and frees from Gary Feely and two from Noel Clerkin. Latton then registered the only goal of the game, along with a point, to go 2 in front. We then hit back with a converted free from Noel Clerkin to close the gap to a point on 16 minutes. However, Latton dominated the remainder of the half, stretching the lead to 4 points at half time, 0-5 to 1-6. Our second half display was a rather forgettable one. Though we opened the scoring with a Niall Coyle point on 34 minutes, it turned out to be our last score of the game. Latton controlled the game, scoring a further 6 points, of which 3 were scored with 14 men, after one of their midfielder’s was sent off. The final score was 0-6 to 1-12. Our team and scorers were: Ian Treanor; Darren Todd, Niall Feely, Rory Treanor; Pauric Treanor, Damian McRory, Niall McQuillan; Barry Cuddy, Ronan McKenna; Niall Coyle (0-1), Gary Feely (0-1f), Niall McMeel (0-1); Alan Treanor, Noel Clerkin (0-3, 3f), Ciaran Treanor.

County Championships: Congratulations to Niall Mc Meel and Padraig Mc Kenna on winning the Novice 4 and U18 titles at the weekend. Niall was up against an experienced Bawn player in Brendan Mc Ardle, but came out victorious on a score line of 21-11 5-21 21-14. Niall's stamina showed through in the end to take the title and next year will enter the novice 3 grade. Congratulations Niall. Padraig was victorious against fellow team-mate Christopher McKenna and watching this match first hand it is easy to see why these men have so many titles at club, county, college, provincial, national and international level. Christopher took the first match on a score line of 21-13, leaving Paudie to pull out all the stops and take the second 21-15. Entering the deciding set, the two players exchanged serve and points throughout the game, until Paudie finally started to pull away. However, Chris dug deep and started to peg him back and was doing so but maybe his undoing was trying to kill to many balls and let Paudie back in on several occasions. Paudie is not the type of player who gets back in without punishing you, and finally closed out the game on a score line of 21-12. Both players must be congratulated on the display of skill and fitness they show it was a credit to both players.

We had bad luck in our Novice 3 finalist in Kevin Treanor who got injured in a farming accident and will be unable to play the final. Hard luck Kevin, but get well soon.
