Intermediate

Our intermediate team secured a place in the Division Three league final with two games to spare thanks to a 1-17 to 1-5 win over St Mary’s at Quigabar last Saturday evening. Despite the concession of an early goal the team responded well and controlled the game. Preparations for the league final now begin in earnest, with the team travelling to Cloonacool for the penultimate round of the league next Sunday at 1pm.

Minor

The Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey minor team had suffered a disappointing loss to Owenmore Gaels at Connolly Park last Thursday evening in the Division One Shield semi-final. Losers by the narrowest of margins 2-7 to 1-9, the team never got going and struggled to get to the pace of the game after a long lay-off. The team now begin their preparations for the championship.

U-14

Our U-14s kick off their championship campaign when they host St John’s at Quigabar next Friday evening at 7pm. Best wishes to the players and management for the upcoming campaign.

U-12

Our U-12s extended their winning run to eight games with a 0-14 to 0-13 defeat of St Patrick’s at Dromard last Tuesday. In a very close encounter, our boys just about edged it in a thrilling finish. This means they qualify for the quarter-finals as group winners, and play Tourlestrane at home in the semi-final on August 8th.

County Scene

It was a busy weekend on the county scene, with Joseph Martin playing for the Sligo U-14s and Gavin Duffy and Oisin Hynes playing for the U-15 side. Josh Ellis, Ciaran O’Dowd, Eoin Hallinan and the Sligo minors are continuing their preparations for their All-Ireland quarter-final against Derry on the bank holiday weekend. On the Masters front, both Declan Cawley and Michael Moyles were involved with the Sligo side that beat London on Saturday afternoon in Swinford. Well done all.

Blotto

There was no winner of last Saturday’s blotto jackpot. Next week’s jackpot will be €9500.
