Under 14 heroes Congratulations to the Under 14 team and their management of Kevie, Enda and Patrick on their terrific win in the 9-a-side league final on Thursday evening. A sun soaked Ballinaglera was the venue for a terrific games between two great teams. Drumkeerin's size and prowess in front of goal made the difference in a tight match. Aughnasheelin got off to a terrific start scoring two quick fire goals in the first ten minutes. However Drumkeerin responded well and went in at half time just slightly ahead. In the second half it was more of the same, with some great football on display. Some vital interceptions and a late goal proved to be the difference with Drumkeerin winning on a scoreline of 2-11 to 2-5. There were heroes all over the pitch from Dean Brolly in goal to Robert Fee and Declan Daly in the backs. Sean Hazlette had a terrific game while Jerome Maguire never backed down from a challenge. Thomas McPartland and Sean O'Grady got vital scores at vital times. James Gallagher led the line well while captain fantastic Cathal McCawley etched up a staggering 2-7. They were well supported by panellists Darragh Woods and James Early. It is tremendous achievement for the side given that there was immense uncertainty whether a team could actually be fielded at this level this year due to lack of numbers. All involved overcame that to record a historic win for the club. Team v Aughnasheelin Dean Brolly; Robert Fee, Declan Daly (0-1), Sean Hazlette; Thomas McPartland (0-2), Cathal McCawley (2-7); Sean O'Grady (0-1), James Gallagher. Subs: Darragh Woods, James Earley. Under 16 Final A date has been set for the U16 15-a-side league final which involves Drumkeerin. The lads will take on St Mary's, Carrick-on-Shannon on Friday the 19th of June @ 7pm. A venue has yet to be confirmed but be sure to keep your diary free. Table Quiz The club have organised a series of table quizzes over four weeks as part of a major fundraiser for the underage players of our club. The first quiz takes place this Sunday (the 14th of June) at 9.30pm in the Cosy Corner. A table of four will cost Ä40 for adults and Ä20 for juveniles . We are asking that everybody gets behind this really worthwhile cause, the young players are the lifeblood of our club and all of them deserve the best they can get. Seniors Our Seniors had a disappointing loss on Sunday against St Mary's in Division 2. There is a crisis of confidence of late but undoubtedly the team can respond over the next couple of weeks. They are out again on Saturday against championship opponents Glenfarne at 6.30pm in the field. Please support. Leitrim Ladies A belated hard luck to Drumkeerin's Deirdre, Shannon, Anne-Marie, Shauna, Kate and Michaela who were part of the Leitrim U-14 panel that lost by four points to Roscommon in the Connacht Final recently. Despite their loss the team are still set to take on an Ulster team in the All-Ireland series. Lotto Lotto took place on Saturday night. Numbers drawn were 2, 10, 13, 20. Ä20 winners were Myles McPadden, John Buckley, John Flynn, Killargue, Theresa Woods and Gerald Glynn. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Lotto will be back Saturday week. Exams A belated good luck to all of the young people associated with the club that have undertaken their Junior and Leaving Certificate Exams. By now you should have them well underway and the worst of any nerves behind you. RIP The club would like to extend its sympathies to Seamus and the rest of the Gallagher family on the death of Teresa last week. A guard of honour from the club led the procession at her removal which took place last Tuesday evening. Formerly of Ballyshannon and Killargue, Co Leitrim Teresa was laid to rest at St Brigid's Church, Drumkeerin on Wednesday morning. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her whole family at this time.
