We are delighted to announce that Mairtin and Angela Kelly of Kellys Centra, The Mountain Top, Letterkenny have agreed to extend their sponsorship agreement with our Minor Board for another 2 years.

As of this week we now have Kellys Centra jerseys for our U12, U13, U14 and U16 boys' teams. On top of this, Mairtin and Angela sponsored both our boys and girls Féile teams in 2016.  We want to thank Mairtin and Angela for their continued support and the confidence they have shown in our administrators and coaches allowing them to focus on the on field work. Please continue to support our sponsors

Northern Board U 12 League Quarter Final - Glenfin 5.10  Termon 4.11 (after extra time).(Thanks to Kevin and Maeve for their contributions)

 
Termon bowed out of the U 12 League at the knock out stages in a wet and blustery Pairc Taobhoige on Wednesday last. The teams were well matched and it was end to end play with plenty of scores and excellent passages of play. Termon were first out of the blocks with a point from Cian McMenamin after a great pass from Jack O Neill. Glenfin replied with a point of their own. Termon then went on a scoring spree with a very well taken goal from Cormac Brady and points from, Gary Mc Gettigan, Patrick Fegan, Caolan Curran and Oran Gallagher. Glenfin scored 3 points from frees and then despite the best efforts of Eoghan McElwaine in the Termon goal they hit the net to level the game. Termon replied with a further 1.1 from Patrick Fegan and a point Gary Mc Gettigan. Termon, wind assisted lead at half time by 2.7 to Glenfin 1.4.
Termon continued where they left off in the first half and Ciaran Cassidy was first to score with a point on the resumption of play. Glenfin kept in touch with 2 points from frees. The referee was keeping a tight control of the game and was punishing Termon for some tackling he considered excessive. Glenfin continued to run through the middle and scored 2 more goals before Termon responded with 2 goals from Gary Mc Gettigan and Ciaran Cassidy.  Eoghan McElwaine was excellent in the Termon goals bringing off several great saves and kept Termon in the game. Termon backs were under some pressure coming up to the end of normal time but Gareth Gallagher and Emmet Mc Gettigan persevered and kept their lines clear. John James Sweeney caught a great ball on the goal line which had come in from another Glenfin free and cleared up the field. Glenfin then took the lead before Gary Mc Gettigan levelled the game after receiving a pass from Cian McMenamin. Score at the end of normal time was Termon 4.11 Glenfin 5.8.
Extra time consisted of 5 minutes a side, the rain was starting to fall quite heavily at this stage and the light was fading, legs were getting tired and tempers getting short! The first half of extra time saw no score at all but Glenfin converted 2 frees in the 2nd half which saw them over the line and through to the semi final of the competition. Termon lost nothing in defeat and can be very proud of their display of fine football and great team work.
 
In the second game Termon overcame Glenfin on a score line of 3-8 to  2-9.

The game was played on an immaculate playing surface at Glenfin in windy conditions. A very determined Termon Team overcame a good Glenfin side by four points. There was great defensive display from Ronan Burke, Eamonn Diver, Mattie Trearty and Eoin Gallagher. Our Midfield took control in the first half with Rian Nibbs and Cian Gallagher prominent. Cody Gorman scored an excellent free that he won himself from way out on the left. Termon went in a half time 8 points ahead but were to play against the strong breeze in the second half. Glenfin were much stronger in the second but with Charlie George sending in some excellent passes to Conal McGettigan, Mark Bradley and Oisin McGroarty which resulted in scores Termon held on for the victory. This team has progressed brilliantly this year due to their high attendance and good attitude at training and also practicing at home.

 

Training will continue Monday and Wednesdays as normal, and a text will be sent out confirming same. We are planning some matches in the next few weeks and hopefully a blitz or 2 as well.
