Connacht Tribune 2 Nov 1984: Vital For St. Thomas — St. Thomas 2-1 Fohenagh 1-1 in the Under-12 final of the Coiste Iomana Tournament at Loughrea; Sean Moclair named for heroic defending and among the best for Fohenagh

Connacht Tribune · 2 Nov 1984 · p.14 · INA

Vital For St. Thomas … After a fine first half showing in this Under-12 "C" final in the Coiste Iomana Tournament in Loughrea on Monday, St. Thomas held out for a win. They were awarded a 21-yard free after four minutes and full-back Tony Headd slammed home a goal. In the ninth minute St. Thomas got another free and full-back Headd obliged again with a point. The first real attack by Fohenagh was defied by a great score from Kenneth Larkin. St. Thomas attacked again and Enda McGarry ended it with a great goal to leave St. Thomas leading by 2-1 to 0-0. But for some heroic defending by Sean Moclair they would have stretched their lead even further early in the second half. Fohenagh were at last rewarded when Paul Kennedy got a point after nine minutes of the second half. They picked up their game very much after this and a goal by John Devine brought them closer to St. Thomas after ten minutes of the second half. But they could not get through for the all-important goal. St. Thomas can thank in particular Tony Headd, Sean Fahey, David Quinn, Kevin Smyth, and Justin Flannery. Best for Fohenagh were Noel Higgins, Sean Moclair, Eric Lally and Tony Kirwin. St. Thomas: K. Larkin, S. Fahey, T. Headd, D. Quinn, K. Smith, D. Fitzgerald, M. Headd, J. Flannery, A. Rowland, O. Brady, E. McGarry. Fohenagh: N. Higgins, P. Leonard, T. Bleahen, M. Glynn, S. Moclair, E. Lally, P. Kennedy, T. Kirwin, P. Leonard, S. Devine, A. Madden. Referee: F. Benson (Loughrea).

Connacht Tribune 15 Nov 1985: Ahascragh come good in second half to secure U-21 final place — Ahascragh 3-4 Fohenagh 1-4 in the U-21 hurling semi-final replay at St. Brendan's Park, Loughrea (drawn 2-4 each at Duggan Park a week earlier; fourth clash of the year); Fohenagh team includes N. Mockler and R. Mockler

Connacht Tribune · 15 Nov 1985 · p.13 · INA

Ahascragh come good in second half to secure U-21 final place … BY J. B. DONOHOE WHILE Ahascragh and Fohenagh are next-door neighbours from the far-flung frontier of Galway hurling on the field of play there is no love lost between them. That was patently obvious to the hardy band of rival supporters who braved the deep freeze at St. Brendan's Park, Loughrea, on Sunday to witness the replay of the semi-final of the U-21 ‘C’ Hurling Championship. One week earlier at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe, the sides drew 2-4 each and it was perhaps scarcely surprising that the players were getting somewhat fed up of their rivals, as Sunday's was the fourth clash between them this year. … FOHENAGH: M. Collins; N. Curley, C. Kirwan, S. Curley; K. Greebe, J. Brien, M. Blehein; P. Curley (1-0), J. Blehein; K. Brien, G. Gormley (capt.), G. McLoughlin (0-4, frees); N. Mockler, L. Manning, R. Mockler. Referee: M. Monaghan (Portumna).
