Senior

Our seniors performed very well in a convincing 3-11 to 10 points win over Calry/St Joseph on Sunday in Easkey in the Division 2 league. Next up is Enniscrone in our final game in the Benson Cup, down for 1pm in Easkey on Sunday the 17th June.

Junior

Next up is Castleconnor in the Division 4 league, which was moved from last Saturday to Tuesday evening (12th ) in St Brendan`s Community Park at 8pm.

Sean Calleary

It was with great sadness to hear of the passing of former Sea Blues player Sean Calleary. Sean played at full forward in the last Senior County Championship winning team in 1966.
Sean married Easkey native Doris Brogan and our deepest sympathies go to Doris, his children John, Conall, Dara and Síofra, his brother in law Eamon Brogan and to all in his large circle of family and friends. Sean was inducted to Easkey GAA's Hall of Fame when introduced to the crowd during half time of the 2016 Senior County Final in Markievicz Park in to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Easkey's great win.
Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a-amam dílis.
