Rearcross U-14's trekked to Shinrone for an U-14 League fixture and were defeated by a strong home side on a score line of four goals to one last Saturday, the windy conditions detracted from the game, however it was Shinrone who took the lead when slack defending resulted in the concession of the opening goal, Marc Murphy then came close for Rearcross when his effort was blocked out at the far post for a corner, a determined Shinrone tacked on their second goal midway through the opening half and added a third just before half time to leave Rearcross with an uphill battle. Rearcross made a spirited start to the second half and Kieran Devitt struck low and hard, however the Shinrone custodian was well positioned to gather. Shane Lenihan was then denied when his effort following a fine sole run thumped off the crossbar, it was proving to be an unlucky outing for Rearcross as Shinrone made it four nil with a goal from the penalty spot, Rearcross grabbed a consolation goal with ten minutes remaining when Shane Lenihan converted from the penalty spot, Greg Kennedy thwarted the home side with a reflex save late in the game, best for Rearcross on the day were Shane Lenihan and Ger Grace.
