The Junior team were in league action on Monday night in Dunmanway against the home side and won by 1-08 to 1-06. This was a result that looked most unlikely as the Dohenys led by 4 points to no score after twenty minutes. Sean O’Neill opened the scoring for Ross with a point and two more from Niall Hayes and Colin Murphy had Ross back in the game, but a goal for the home side on the stroke of half time gave them the advantage. Ross were level early in the second half when Niall found the back of the net from a penalty after Sean O’Neill was pulled down. Rangers hit the front with ten minutes to go as Kieran Fitzpatrick scored a fine point before Padraig Hodnett got the final score.
