NAUL'S CLUB NOTES RESERVES Pride of place this week goes to everyone involved in the intermediate reserve championship win over McCumhaills on Sunday last. Congratulations to Shaun, Willie, Tony, Susan, team captain Patrick, the 18 players on the field all of whom contributed handsomely to the win (whether they were on the field for a long or short period of time) and also to all the other panel members who made their contributions over the course of the year. Special mention must be made of our midfield pairing of John Murray and John 'Cookie' Meehan, a partnership dating back to the 1987 intermediate campaign. Their determination not to lose this final was a great example to the younger players and lifted them at vital times throughout the course of the game. We extend thanks to all our supporters who turned out on the day, your support was invaluable. We also extend our thanks to Enda and staff of the Village Tavern for a magnificent after match meal and also to the various sponsors who ensured all players were suitably attired for the occasion. SENIORS The seniors lost a very competitive match away to Killybegs on Saturday evening last and so must win both games against Buncrana to make the play off stages of the league. The first of these double headers is in Buncrana this Saturday evening (see elsewhere for throw in times). The players wish to acknowledge the support received in their recent fund raising efforts based around the score in the All-Ireland final. The prize for correct score was shared between John Kenny and Mary Breslin both of whom went with the 1992 scoreline of 18 points to 14 which corresponded with the correct score of 1 - 15 to 14 points when converted to points. The prize for the time of the first goal was won by Aidan Kennedy who had the correct time of 35th to 36th minute. They extend thanks to all who bought and sold lines. UNDER 14s Commiserations to the under 14s who lost out to Cloughaneely in the county semi-final on Sunday morning last in Glenties. This team has made great progress all year under the stewardship of Patrick Breslin and his mentors and can look forward to next year with renewed confidence. SLOTTO.

There were no Senior games last weekend but the lads should check at training for the remaining fixtures which will both be in Straid over the next few weeks. Two points are still needed to guarantee Division 2 football next year so a big effort is still needed from everyone involved with the teams. The U13's will be training on Wednesday evening from 6pm to 7pm. They will be playing Moville away on Friday evening at 6.30pm; the bus will leave from Straid at 5.45pm sharp. Still no word of a date for the U12 girls final and the girls will have to remain patient until the Club gets definite word from the County board. Training will be on this Wednesday from 4.30pm to 5.30pm when more information might be available. The Club has a new range of hoodies, rain jackets and replica shirts available for all ages, these tops can be personalised and will make ideal gifts for birthdays and dare I say it Christmas. For details on pricing or to place an order contact Paul McLaughlin, all merchandise must be paid for prior to ordering if the top is being personalised. The U10 boys and girls took part in the All Inishowen Blitz last Saturday and acquitted themselves very well; they didn't make the finals on the day but proved that they will be a force to be reckoned with over the coming years. The Club would like to thank, Patrick McCarron for looking after the boys and girls on the day and would also like to thank Paul Doherty, Dáithí Hession, Kevin McCarron and John McCarron who helped out with the training of the team over the course of the season as part of their transition year activities. It is hoped to run some kind of indoor activities for this group over the winter so parents and children are asked to keep an eye on the bulletin for dates and times of when the indoor sessions start.
