The U17 team had a hard-fought home win over Coolera/Strandhill in the A semi-final last Saturday. The game was right in the balance with both teams evenly matched going into the last quarter but a decisive goal from Brian Dwyer gave the Gaels a 2-7 to 1-7 win in an exciting match. The team was: Jack Duignan, Jack Tuohy, Oisin Conlon, Jamie Parke, Daniel King, Troy Gilgarro, Conor Sheridan, Andrew Barlow, George Barlow, Dylan McKenna (1-0), Conor McMorrow (0-4), Ciaran Kenny, Daniel O'Hara, Brian Dwyer (1-0), James Foley (0-3). Subs used: Niall Kenny, PJ Scanlon, Callum Kennedy, Sean Kelly, Adam O'Carroll. They now take on St Marys or Drumcliffe in the final next Sunday in Collooney at a time yet to be confirmed.
The Senior Ladies take on St Farnans in the Intermediate championship relegation play off next Sunday at home at 10.30AM.
Well done to the Gaelic 4 Mothers and Others who finished up the year with a blitz in Ballisodare at the weekend where they played two enjoyable games against Ballisodare and Tourlestrane. Well done to all involved, it is great to see so many participating in this great initiative and thanks also to Therese Duignan for her work with G4MO this year.
