Ladies Division 3 League
Stabannon Parnells 1-13, St. Josephs 1-3
Stabannon Parnells proved too strong for St. Josephs as they ran out comfortable winners tonight in Stabannon. The long lay off from competitive matches and a reshuffled starting fifteen led to a slow start for the Joes and it was Stabannon who dominated the early scoring with seven points in the first quarter.
Eimear Costello made a number of excellent saves in the Joes goal, while at the opposite end the Stabannon defence gave Joes attack few scoring opportunities. The Joes got on the scoreboard when the hard working Annmarie Breen hit the net on 21mins. The Joes saw a number of shots fall short of the target before Stabannon raised a green flag on the stroke of half time, Stabannon ahead by 1-9 to 1-0 at the break.
The second half was more evenly balanced as the Joes created more chances as the home side held a comfortable lead. The Joes were out of luck as they saw two shots go narrowly wide and were denied by the post twice. At the opposite end Eimear Costello made another great save and together with strong defending the home side were denied a second goal.
In the final 10mins the Joes added points from Kenzie Crowley and two from Grace Carey, Stabannon running out comprehensive winners by 1-13 to 1-3.

Paddy Sheelan Shield Final
St. Mary’s 2-16, St. Josephs 0-15.
The Mary’s courtesy of a goal in either half came out winners in the 2026 Paddy Sheelan Shield Final in Stabannon on Thursday evening. In a good entertaining game with fine scores from both sides, the Marys held the upper hand with a second goal three minutes into the second half.
The Joes opened the scoring when Ben Collier and Killian McDonnell combined for Ciaran Johnston to score. The Marys responded with points from Liam Jackson and Carl Gillespie. The Joes were level on 5mins when Cormac Marmion landed a fine score from the right wing. The Marys edged ahead when midfielder Cillian Kennan pointed, the Joes responding in the next attack as Cormac Marmion guided his shot inside the right upright.
On 10mins the Marys raised the first green flag when Adam Cassidy made an excellent save from Fionn Coyle, with Josh Taaffe crashing the rebound to Joes net. A Liam Jackson point extended the Marys lead before Jack Mulligan collected the kick out to send Killian McDonnell away for McDonnell to land a fine score. The Marys ahead by 1-4 to 0-4 at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter was low on scoring as defences dominated, Kian Moran cutting through the centre to land a point for the Marys. The Joes responded with a point from Gabriel Bell with the Joes seeing a few chances drift wide of the posts. The sides traded two excellent points in added time as Keelin Martin pointed from the left wing and Ben McKeown pointed for the Joes to leave the half time score, Marys 1-6, Joes 0-6.
The sides exchanged points in the opening minutes of the second half as Kian Moran and Gabriel Bell were on target. Carl Gillespie hit a second Mary’s goal on 33mins when his perfectly weighted lob found the back of the net. The Joes hit back with a superb point from Jack Mulligan and following a strong run by Ben McKeown, it was Rory McLoughlin who cut the margin to four. In between the Joes had their best goal chance of the game when Killian McDonnell’s shot hit the post.
The sides again exchanged points as Ben Collier finished off a fine move following good work by Cian Sheridan. The Mary’s creating the better chances stretched their lead, a fisted point from Luke Keenan and a shot that came crashing back off the Joes crossbar was followed by a two pointer from Keelin Martin to leave the score at 2-11 to 0-10 at the end of the third quarter.
The final quarter was mostly score for score with Gabriel Bell and Carl Gillespie on target. Then it was two pointers from Ronan Carroll and Gabriel Bell on 51 and 52mins that kept the margin at seven.
