Oranmoremaree take north title

THREE second half goals from full-forward Cian Greaney to add to an earlier strike by Luke Smyth were the critical scores as Oranmore-Maree shook off the stubborn resistance of Headford to claim the North Board Minor B title in Cregg, Annaghdown on Friday evening.
Headford certainly deserved far better than a 13-point defeat for their efforts but Oranmore-Maree were convincing winners nonetheless. They picked up the Kieran Purcell Memorial Cup for the first time since 2011 and advance to a County final with St Michael’s that will be the curtain-raiser to the County Senior Football Championship final between Corofin and Mountbellew-Moylough at Tuam Stadium on October 11.
