Team News
Collooney
is painted blue and yellow as we build up to a number of finals in the coming
weeks.
Our
Senior men’s team face off against Easkey in the Lola Montez Junior A
Championship. The team have been working hard in
preparation for what will be a serious test but one the lads are relishing.
Throw-in on Saturday evening is at 4:30pm in Cloonacool.
Our
U14 girls lost out to St. Johns by the narrowest of margins in the U14 C final
on Saturday. Hard luck to the girls on a great performance where they battled
back from a five point deficit at half time but could find that final score.
Our U-13 lads have reached the B Fèile final against St.Molaise Gaels, where we
will look to defend our title, date and venue TBC.
Club News
We are saddened to bring the news of the sudden
passing of Donie Murphy of Scartaglin Co.Kerry. Donie is the father of our
senior team captain Pa Murphy. An avid football man and an extremely proud dad,
Donie was with us in Buninnadden a number of weeks ago to watch Pa lead us to
the county final. Pa joined the club a number of years ago when he moved to
Sligo with Anne-Marie. He instantly immersed himself in the club and the
community, becoming a vital cog in the mens team, getting involved in
coaching and running his business out of the clubhouse. We all stand with him
at this sad time. Our deepest condolences are extended to Pa, Anne-Marie and
granddaughter Síofra, and to Donie’s wife Marie, son Daniel and daughter Michelle
and extended family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Thank
you so much to our club members who turned out in force for the Coolera
Strandhill Gaa vs Tourlestrane
GAA championship semi-final replay. From the lads in
the car park, the girls in the shop, the stewards around the ground and all who
put in a big effort preparing the grounds, thank you and well done
