Team News
The Minor Boys had a busy
week when they played Shamrock Gaels last Monday in their final league game. In
what was a very high standard the lads dug out a one point win to secure their
place in what looks like a wide open A Championship. On Thursday evening, they
then faced Easkey/Enniscrone/Kilglass in the A shield semi-final. After their
game on Monday tired legs played their part but the lads still dug out the win
which sets them up for an A shield final this Thursday in Scarden. Full details
are available on our Facebook page.
The senior men came up short
away to Bunninadden on Sunday where a win would have guaranteed Division two
football for next year. They face St Pats next Sunday with our league status
still in our hands.
The U14 boys team begin their
B Championship campaign underway with a home game against Castleconnor. After
the step down from A League the lads will be looking to get their year back on
track.
Hard luck to the U-12 girls who just
lost out to Calry/St. Josephs in the championship yesterday evening.
The girls battled magnificently, and despite
converting more scores lost out on a scoreline 7-3 4-10. Heads up girls,
massive progress.
Hard luck to the senior girls who
battled hard against a St. Pats team on Wednesday evening but unfortunately it
was not to be. Final score Owenmore Gaels 2-10 St. Pats 4-11
