Congratulations to Clubman Martin Cooney who received a Special Achievement Award at the Connacht GAA Awards on Friday last.
Martin was recognised for his amazing achievements last year - Securing 3 All Ireland Handball Titles in one year.
Martin is a huge influence on the Juvenile's within the Club and we hope that a lot more All Ireland success will come the Club's way.
It was a Tough Day for the Castleconnor in the 40x20 Connacht Handball Semi-Finals in Corballa on Sunday last.
First up was Micheal Jones who took on Damien Ryder from Mayo. Micheal didn't really get going in the first match loosing 21-6. The second Match however proved to be very entertaining, with some great Handball from both players. But it wasn't to be and Mayo took the second game 21-16.
Next up was Jason Earlis who took on Darragh Ruane who was also from Mayo. Jason took the first game in a thriller, with a 21-18 scoreline. The Mayo player started the second game very strong and won the game with a 21-7 scoreline. The match went to a tie breaker and it was obvious that the crowd wasn't going anywhere!
However, early in the match Jason took a ball off the back wall but immediately roared in pain. It was clear to see that an old injury had come back to haunt him and he had no option but to forfeit the match.
Congratulations to both players on making it to the Semi-Final stages and the Club wishes Jason a speedy recovery.
A massive Thank You to all the supporters who turned out in great numbers - and to Mary in the kitchen.
