Massive congratulations to Marion and John Sweeney on the birth of their son this week.

Best of luck to our U-16 & minor player James Duffy and minor & senior player Cian Whiteside who represent Collooney kickboxing club and Ireland in the world kickboxing championships in Spain this week.

Saturday morning coaching finished last Saturday morning. The club would like to thank all the coaches and volunteers that have played their part in helping it to be successful. The club aim to hold various coaching nights between now and next year.

Junior A championship result: Owenmore Gaels 4-25 Shamrock Gaels 1-7. An improved display sees us into the junior final provisionally down for 12/13th September.

Minor D2 champ result: Drumcliffe / Rosses Point 0-14 Owenmore Gaels 3-8. 
A win for the lads in their first championship outing. Rustiness was evident in first half with two goals keeping us in the game. However a much improved second saw us keep the opposition to just 2 points. A good start considering we were down a few players, next up Enniscrone next Tuesday eve in Connolly Park
