Intermediate
Last Sunday
afternoon was a difficult one for our intermediate footballers, with
Drumcliffe/Rosses Point emerging as 3-19 to 1-6 winners in a one-sided Division
Two clash at Oxfield. Minus a whole host of regulars, our weakened team showed
some positive signs in the opening half and trailed 0-9 to 0-3 at the break,
but the home side dominated the second half exchanges to secure the points.
With a break in the league now for a number of weeks, the Benson Cup is the
focus from next weekend with Owenmore Gaels the visitors to Quigabar next
Saturday evening at 7.30pm.
Minor
The minor
team had a busy week. On Wednesday evening, St Pats were 3-9 to 1-12 winners in
the league meeting in Quigabar. This was an improved showing but the concession
of three sloppy goals was decisive and led to a disappointing loss. On Friday
evening, depleted squad took part in the 7 aside competition in Corballa, where
there were some useful performances against St Farnan’s and Castleconnor. There
are no games for the next month or so due to the state exams taking place. We
wish all players sitting the Leaving Cert all the best.
U-16
A youthful
U-16 team put in a great showing to come away with a draw after a cracking game
versus Coolaney/Mullinabreena last Monday evening. Without the services of four
big players, the young side showed extremely well throughout to secure a 5-9 to
3-15 draw. The team is still in with a chance of making the knockout stages
with one round left against St Mary’s in late June. Best wishes to everyone
from the panel sitting the Junior Cert in the coming weeks. For those not restrained
by academic commitments, there is a 7 aside blitz in Dromard next Friday
evening against other west Sligo clubs.
U-14
The U-14
boys host Calry/St Joseph’s this Thursday evening at 7pm in Quigabar.
U-12
The U-12s
were extremely unfortunate to lose to St Pats by a single point, 0-11 to 0-10,
in their league encounter at Quigabar last Tuesday. Despite the loss, the lads
can be very happy with their efforts.
U-6/U-8/U-10
Our youngest
members had a very enjoyable evening playing against their counterparts from
Ardnaree last Wednesday evening, with plenty of fine displays. Well done to
everyone on their great work so far this year – keep it up!
Eoghan Rua win
Congratulations
