Aughlisnafin Club Notes

March 11, 2019

*Our seniors recorded a comfortable win over Antrim side St Malachys this afternoon in cold blustery conditions at Pairc Baile Anna. 

 

Thanks to them for the game and also thanks to Roisin and Jenny for looking after us over in the social club with very welcome refreshments and also to Ellie, Shauna and Anthea for providing all the sandwiches. 

 

Training continues every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6.45 pm.

 

*Baile an Locha minors got their league campaign underway with a hard fought win against a competitive Castlewellan offering this morning in horrible conditions for football. 

 

The Loch led 0-10 to 0-3 at half time before outscoring the visitors 1-09 to 0-6 against the wind in the second half. 

 

FInal score Baile an Locha 1-19 V Castlewellan 0-09.

 

Morgan Croskery with a confident display between the posts. Rory McMullan was outstanding at centre half back and scored a beauty of a point off the outside of the right boot. Up front the guile and craft of Andrew Gilmore and Caolan Burns tormented the ‘Town throughout with Marc Quinn also impressing. Dermy Lavery and Damian McMullan winning the midfield battle. Well done lads.

 

Next up is the Dromara/Dundrum amalgamation away game on Sunday 24th March. 

 

The minors played An Riocht in a challenge match last Tuesday evening and will play Clonduff this Thursday night at 7.30 pm under lights.
