HISTORY OF UNDERAGE

Munterconnaught U-10 squad before match v Mountnugent, Sat June 21st 2003
1981 - It was decided that under-age players of the area be given the opportunity to play under the Munterconnacht banner. An organising committee which included Father M. Kelly, Gerry Carroll, P. F. Brady and Tony Dwyer got together and an under-14 team was affiliated to Roinn C of the Under-14 Football League. Unfortunately, 1981 was not a particularly suc- cessful year. However, many of the panel were very young, and this gave hope for the future at this grade.
1982 - Proved slightly more successful, when in the Lavey under-12 football tournament we emerged successful on a scoreline of 0-3 to 0-1 , with the Munterconnacht scorers being E. Yore 0-2 and Mark Carroll 0-1.
The Team on duty on that occasion was P. Judge, Kevin P. Smith, Fintan O'Reilly, P. Lynch, 0. McCabe, P. Bough, Mark Carroll, E. Yore, D. Hetherton, C. Geraghty, E. Brady, V. Curran, J. O'Meara. Later that year, we reached the semi-final of the under-14 championship only to I:te defeat- ed by a much stronger Kildallan team.
1983 - Munterconnacht reached the semi-final of the Under-14 League only to be defeated by Butlersbridge, and a dubious goal. However, undaunted by the experience we reached our first final in September of the same year, where once again Butlersbridge were the opposition and once again they were the victors this time by a margin of six points.
The Munterconnacht side on that occasion was D. Skelly; M. McCabe, V. Curran, P. Lynch, F. O'Reilly, J. Fitzsimons, E. Yore, M. Carroll, P. Hetherton, L. Lynch, 0. McCabe.
1984 - With seven of last seasons team still eligible for this years campaign we were quite confident that this could be our year. Undefeated in the first rounds of the league, we faced Belturbet in the semi-final only to be defeated by a last-minute goal. In the summer of 1984, the All-Ireland Feile na nOg competition was held in County Cavan. For this we were amalgamated with Castlerahan in Division 2 of the competition. Having won all games in our section we progressed to play Saint Brigid's of Dublin in the semi-final, only to be defeated by two points. our only consolation being that Saint Brigid's won the final quite easily.
Back to the domestic championship, we won our way to the final only to be faced once again by Belturbet. After a disastrous start in which we conceded a penalty we slowly got to grips with our opponents and through the accuracy of Mark Carroll earned a draw on a scoreline of 1-1 apiece.
The replay in Terry Coyle Park, Cavan was not a close affair with Belturbet running out easy winners on a scoreline of 1-7 to 0-4. The Team was E. Brady, P. Judge, P. Bough, P. Lynch, F. O'Reilly, Mark Carroll, E. Yore, D. Hetherton, 0. McCabe, C. Geraghty and J. O'Meara.
1985 - Despite losing only three of last years panel of players we failed to make an impact this season with what we considered a very well balanced side. We only lost two games in the league, against Shercock and Mountnugent, and only by one or two points in each case. In the championship we were narrowly defeated in the quarter-final by the eventual winners Ballinagh.
1986 - This was the first year which an under-16 side was affiliated by the Munterconnacht club. However, it had not the same level of success as the corresponding under-14 team of two years previous. On the under-14 front we again reached the final of the championship against Drumgoon in Breffni Park.
For 40 minutes of the final it seemed that victory at last would be ours as we led by 5 points.
However Drumgoon were rampant in the last 20 minutes and scored five goals to run out convincing winners.
The Team that day was N. Lynch, D. Hetherton, D. Skelly, P. Bough, D. Gilsenan, F. O'Reilly, C. Geraghty, J. Henry, P. O'Dwyer, M. McGovern, C. Hetherton.
1987 - Probably the most successful year ever. We played eleven games - won nine and lost two.
Unfortunately, the two we lost were two finals.
Firstly, the league final in June against Redhills who we had defeated twice earlier in the competition. Munterconnacht led most of the way in the final, until a mishap in the goal mouth lead to a goal, and defeat by a narrow mar- gin of one point. In the final of the championship, Kildallan were our opponents.
However, the team did not play anywhere near to their potential, and we were well- beaten on a scoreline of 3-8 to 0-8
The Team that year was P. Geraghty, L. Glennon, F. Collins, J. Henry, D. Gilsenan, P Bough, F. O.R~;!ly, P. O'Dwyer, M. McGovern, C. Hetherton and T. Curran.
U-16 - our under-16 side were Quite unlucky this year in the preliminary stages of the league. They played five games, won two, drew two, and lost only one game to the eventual winners, Ballymachugh, and only by two points.
However, despite this record they failed to make the knock-out stages of the league.
1988 - Both under-14 and under-16 teams while not reaching any finals in major competitions, acquitted themselves quite well in 1988. The under- 14 side reached the semi-final of the championship only to be defeated by Arva, and the U-16 side narrowly missed the knock-out stages of the league competition.
1989 - Was not a very good year at all on the playing fields, due to a fall in numbers and a lack of interest.
However, the U-16 team reached the semi-final of the championship only to be beaten by Gowna. This year was to signal an end to under-age football in Munterconnacht for a while, and for three years the clubs players joined up with Castlerahan, with a good deal of success.
In 1991 Castlerahan captained by Mark McGovern lifted the Division 2 County League title. The other Munterconnacht players on that team included Keith Geraghty, Derek Stanley and Martin Brady.
1992 - A Juvenile Committee was formed to look after the youth of the Parish. An Under-12 team entered the AII-Cavan League for the very first time, reaching the quarter-final.
In the Oldcastle Blitz, played in October, we reached the semi-final.
1993 - Was a better year, winning the Maghera and Moylough Tournament.
The highlight, however, was winning the Oldcastle Blitz, played on October 5th after a series of five games that were played the one day.
We got to the semi-final of the AII-Country Under-12 League before losing narrowly to Butlersbridge after a re-play.
Barry Gillic, Peter Cullen, Paric McEnroe, John McCabe were playing members of the Ballyjamesduff Community U-10 which won the Cavan and Ulster titles before losing narrowly in the All-Irelandfinal played at Mosney over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
1994 - Was another good year. The Josie Gilsenan Perpetual Cup in honour of the late Josie Gilsenan, that great stalwart of Munterconnaught football is a tournament run for U-12 teams and is proving very successful with some memorable games with Munterconnaught U-12 going great guns.

2010 - Was a successful year.
Blackwater Gaels (Munterconnaught, Maghera & Mountnugent) won the Minor League Division 2 title and were beaten in the final of the Minor Championship.
2011 - This was a very successful year to date with the U-16's & U-13's within their respective Divisional Championships.
U-16's - Blackwater Gaels (Munterconnaught, Maghera & Mountnugent) won the Division 3 Championship - they defeated Lacken by 4 – 12 to 3 – 11.
U-13's - Munterconnaught won the Bord na nÓg U-13 League Championship - defeated Cornafean by 2 - 14 to 2 - 06
Minors - reached the final of the Division 4 Championship where they were defeated by Laragh Utd.
U-14 Ladies - Munterconnaught defeated Cornafean by 3 - 05 to 2 - 06 to win the championship in their first year of taking part.
