League ends
Muckalee travelled to play their last game in the Senior Football League against Mullinavat. On a cold but dry morning it was the County Champions from last year that prevailed due to better finishing when they got their chances. Half time score 2-6 to 0-5 . Despite upping their game in the second period it was not enough to unsettle Mullinivat who ran out winners 4-12 to 1-9, Bryan Byrne scoring the goal for Muckalee, Jack Farrell acquited himself well on his first start for the Seniors. Next outing is the first round of the championship v Mooncoin in Muckalee

Senior League
Muckalee travelled to Mooncoin for their second game in the Senior Football League. It was the home side with the aid of a gale force wind that dominated the first half leading 0-6 to no score at half time. On the resumption the Muckalee attack had more luck with their finishing to get back in the game, levelling coming up to full time but a point for Mooncoin gave them victory. Well done to Bill Dowling who made his Senior debut doing well. Final Score 1-8 to 1-7.
