Division 3 League Winners!

Ladies Division 3 final result: Owenmore Gaels 0-18 Shamrock Gaels 3-7
A dominant second half performance sees the girls take the honours at Kilcoyne Park.
Four points down at half time the girls were under the cosh, but responded magnificently to utterly dominate the second. We played some beautiful football to open up an unassailable lead and defended heroically towards the end.
In truth the winning margin could and should have been bigger but none of that matters as the trophy comes back to Collooney.
Well done to the team and management of Anthony Sweeney, Joan Mullen and Gerry O'Connell, enjoy the well earned celebrations! For a full match report, see our Facebook Page.

Hard luck to the Men’s Division 4 team who lost out away to St. Farnans in a high scoring encounter finishing 5-17 to 4-12 last Sunday.

U-14 Division 1 result: Shamrock Gaels 5-6 Owenmore Gaels 5-10
Well done to the U-14 boys who ground out a win in Coola on Thursday evening. Early on our lads looked like they were suffering the effects of a gruelling weekend in Louth at the Fèile, and were 4 points down at the short whistle.
However, the half time team talk from Gary seemed to do the trick as we got to grips with the opposition and eventually secured the 2 points.
A good result, all the more impressive considering the lads tough weekend with many of them carrying knocks into the game.

The Owenmore Gaels U12 girls kicked off the championship with an 18-8 loss at home to Tourlestrane on Friday evening. We had a few absentees with it being the holiday season but the thirteen girls that took to the field kept on going until the end as always but were suffering a little bit of a lack of match fitness. Plenty of positives to take from the match as always with this great bunch of girls. Next up we're at home to Calry/St Joseph's this coming Friday evening all support is welcome.

Well done to our U8s who travelled to Easkey to compete at the Go Games last Wednesday. A great experience and event to participate in.
