Junior Championship Hot Shots – Round 2

There were plenty of eye-catching scores put up in the second round of the Junior Championship last weekend.

2019 Junior champions Collegeland recorded the biggest tally of the weekend as they hit 3-18 against O’Hanlon’s.

Ballyhegan, who finished second in Division 3A, came just behind as they recorded a huge total of 4-14.

They also have the best defensive record for the second round as they conceded just 1-2 against Mullabrack.

Like last week, Steven Matthews remains top of the Junior Championship hot shot list following another fine performance.

The Lissummon sharpshooter nailed 0-8 in round one but was responsible for 1-9 against Clady in the second round.

His converted penalty late on sealed the deal for Lissummon as they ran out five-point winners, 1-14 to 0-12.

Ethan McKenna has had two fine weekends for Clann Eireann IIs and is currently the top goal scorer in the Junior Championship.

He hit 2-1 in round one against Eire Og and followed that up with another 1-3 in their six-point win over An Port Mor.

Both Jason Kelly and James McCormack are tied for third spot having recorded 2-7 apiece in their two appearances.

Both players hit 0-1 in their opening weekend, and both nailed 2-6 for their respective teams in the second round.
