Straffan FC from the Kildare and District League are the first team through to the semi finals of the O Neills LFA Junior Shield after they overcame LSL side Iveagh Celtic after a game that began in heavy rain and ended in a blanket of snow. With Straffan's pitch not playable, the game was switched to Ballyoulster's all weather pitch and despite the poor weather conditions, both sides managed to produce a decent game of football but goals from Ed Neenan and John Treacy saw the home side through to the last four
