Intermediate
The
intermediate team were knocked out of the intermediate championship at the
playoff stage for the second year in succession when they were heavily defeated
by old rivals Easkey at Castleconnor last Sunday. A terribly disappointing
display led to a 4-12 to 0-5 defeat. Thanks to the lads for their commitment
this year and the management team for all their work. There will be better days
ahead no doubt.
The
junior ‘B’ team had a good 4-9 to 1-4 win over Eastern Harps last Tuesday. The
lads take on Coolaney/Mullinabreena next Tuesday evening (September 2nd)
at 7pm in Achonry.
Minor
The
minor team had a solid 8-5 to 2-3 win over St Pats last Thursday. They have now
won three of their four group games and have qualified for the semi-finals of
the ‘C’ Championship. Details of that fixture will be made available in the
coming days.
U16
The
u16 team take on Ballymote on Monday evening (September 1st) at 7pm
in Corran Park, Ballymote.
U14
Our
u14’s scored an impressive 9-8 to 0-2 win over St John’s last week. That’s two
wins from three games in the ‘B’ Championship. Their campaign continues next
week.
U12
Pride
of place this week goes to our u12 team who performed magnificently at the
county finals day last Saturday at Markievicz Park. Having participated in the
‘B’ league, our lads defeated ‘A’ league leaders Drumcliffe/Rosses Point by a
point in the quarter-final, and then beat St Farnan’s in the semi-final to
reach the county ‘A’ final. Despite a good performance, our lads were defeated
by St Mary’s in the decider by three points. Nonetheless, this was a tremendous
performance from the lads who were within a kick of the ball of being crowned
the county’s best team. Well done to all the players and the management team of
Michael Duffy, Paddy Martin and Michael Hynes for a great years work – this
side will prosper again in the future no doubt.
The
club extends its sympathy to Brian Mahon, our Irish officer, and his family
following the death of his mother last week.
The
blotto draw returns next weekend after its summer break – your support is
greatly appreciated.
