Our men's side advanced to round three of the Connacht Cup with a 4-0 home win over Sligo side Ballygawley Celtic. The first half was a pretty even affair until a mislaid pass on forty minutes fell to United striker Alan Callanan who coolly slotted home the opener. Craughwell went two up soon after the break when a Ballygawley defender directed a Kevin Molloy corner into his own net. Callanan then turned provider to set up Darragh o Connor for the third goal and that was quickly followed by an Eoin Fahy goal to settle the tie.

The U17 boys were defeated 3-2 away to Connemara side Cois Fharraige in wintry conditions at Carraroe. Craughwell levelled twice through Shane Gorman and Ethan O Brien. However the home side scored a late winner, somewhat against the run of play, to take the three points.Thank you to everyone who entered our Last Man Standing competition.
