Junior Championship Hot Shots – Semis

We now know the two teams that will compete for the Sean Quinn Cup after last weekend’s Junior Championship semi-finals.

Ballyhegan edged a tight contest with league champions Clonmore, nipping through with one-point to spare.

Clann Eireann IIs were four-point winners over Thomas Davis but had to endure a Corrinshego comeback.

James McCormack was once again the star of the show for Ballyhegan as he claimed a personal haul of 1-5.

McCormack remains at the top of the Junior Championship hot shots list and has built up an uncatchable tally.

In six games, the Ballyhegan sharpshooter has kicked 6-27 and his way ahead at the top of the leaderboard.

Next in line is Steven Matthews who enjoyed a good run with Lissummon up until the quarter-final.

His side lost to Ballyhegan, after extra time, but he racked up an impressive 1-23 through their four championship outings.

Ethan McKenna of Clann Eireann IIs shot up to third spot with his contribution of 0-3 in the semi-final.

McKenna exited the play at half time due to an injury, but his first half scores helped send Clann Eireann on their way.

The creative centre half forward has scored 3-10 for the Lurgan men in the championship and will hope to add to that in the final.
