Sunday 5th October at the National Sports Campus, Dublin wasn’t just another day on the schedule, it was the final test of focus, pride, and consistency for a team that’s been on a mission since Week 1. We arrived at the Campus sitting 4–0. The Mavericks’ forfeit pushed us to 5–0 before the first whistle, but nobody in the changing room was thinking about records or easy wins. This group had one goal: to prove that the perfect season was no accident. From the first snap, the intent was clear. The defense came out firing. Fast, physical, and fearless. Nathan McGuinness, Niko Szturo, and Seanán Donnelly-Maguire each tore through the opposition’s line for crucial sacks, setting the tone and reminding everyone why our defense has been the toughest in the league. Sean Quinn sealed the effort with a clutch interception. On offense, the rhythm that’s defined our season continued to flow. Conor Traynor powered through for a rushing touchdown, and James Bell added a composed two-point conversion. McGuinness then doubled his impact with another rushing TD to stretch the lead and close out a controlled, professional 14–6 win. It wasn’t about the scoreline though, it was about the statement. Even with the playoffs already secured, the team refused to ease off. Focus, effort, and discipline carried us through every down, proving that the hunger to win runs deep in this squad. Over six regular-season games, we’ve scored 152 points and conceded only 12. Those numbers speak for themselves, a team that dominates on both sides of the ball, built on trust, preparation, and belief. Now, with the top seed locked in, attention turns to the Semi-Final showdown with the Dublin Rebels. The challenge will be fierce, but so are we. The mission remains the same: finish what we started and bring it home. Unbeaten. Unstoppable. Ready for the playoffs.

 The Craigavon Cowboys Youth team delivered an unforgettable performance on Saturday, September 20th at the National Sports Campus in Dublin, storming to two emphatic victories while showing dominance on both sides of the ball.
Game 1: Cowboys 46–0 Vipers From the first snap, the Cowboys set the tone. Kori McKinley scoring with a rushing touchdown, and the floodgates followed. Nathan McGuinness powered through with both rushing and receiving scores, while Conor Traynor added multiple rushing touchdowns and a two-point conversion. The defense was equally ruthless, allowing zero first downs. Standout performances included Sean Quinn’s interception and receiving TD, Kori's fumble recovery, Niko Szturo’s fumble recovery and 4 tackles for loss, and Michael Conway’s tackling clinic. Contributions across the field kept the scoreboard ticking, capped off by Max Beattie’s receiving touchdown. Game 2: Cowboys 22–0 Rebels The second game started tight against a very strong and well drilled rebels team, going into halftime at 0–0, but the Cowboys came out firing in the second half. Kori McKinley and Nathan McGuinness found the endzone through the air and on the ground, with Sean Quinn adding a crucial two-point conversion and another interception to his name. On defense, the Rebels were shut down repeatedly. Seanán Donnelly-Maguire (5 tackles), Caolan McAleavey (3 tackles), Nathan McGuinness (6 tackles), and Kori McKinley (6 tackles) made sure the opposition never found their rhythm. A Statement Performance Across both games, the Cowboys showed why they’re a force to be reckoned with! With an explosive offense, relentless defense, and teamwork that never wavered. Two wins, 68 points scored, 0 points conceded, making it a perfect day in Dublin. The future is bright for this youth squad, and the Cowboys are only getting started.
