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.
