After a weekend of exciting action, we’re now down to the final four teams in the running for Senior Championship glory. All four quarter-finals were extremely tight and the winners had to earn their victories.
Crossmaglen and Cullyhanna were joint top scores from the last eight meetings. The Rangers posted 2-20 in their triumph against Carrickcruppen while St Patrick’s hit 3-17 as they defeated St Peter’s after extra time.
Conor Turbitt was by far and away the top scorer in then Senior Championship last weekend. He rattled off a personal haul of 0-12 for Clann Eireann as they made their way past Killeavy by two-points.
Aidan Nugent remains at the top of the host shots list however and he currently sits on 3-29 after four games. His goals came in the group stages as he buried the ball to the net against Pearse Og (twice) and Mullaghbawn.
He was again to the fore against St Peter’s last Friday evening as they came from behind to win the game. Nugent finished as the top scorer on the night with 0-7, with 0-2 of that tally coming from open play.
Next in line
Conor Turbitt, who led the hot shots list after round two and three, is second in the leaderboard ahead of the semi-finals. He is currently just three-points behind Nugent and the number one position.
Turbitt’s twelve-point haul brings his overall total to 2-29 after four championship outings. Turbo hit the net twice during the round robin series, raising green flags in the first two rounds against Carrickcruppen and Dromintee.
Conor Grimley remains in the top three having chipped in with 0-3 during Madden’s one-point win over Maghery. Grimley is the go-to forward for Mark Harte’s side and he has hit 0-28 to date.
Kevin Robinson finishes the campaign as Maghery’s top scorer and he was responsible for 0-3 at the weekend. That individual record brings Robinson’s total to 1-22 after four championship matches.
Fergal Boylan of Killeavy has nabbed 1-20 while Crossmaglen’s Rian O’Neill sits at 0-23. Boylan recorded 0-4 as the league champions crashed out against Clann Eireann while O’Neill hit 0-6 in their win over Cruppen.
