Under 21's:
The club's 2015 Under-21 championship kicked off on Sunday last when our lads who are amalgamated with Fenagh had a 1-10 to 0-6 win over St Brigid's. The match was played in monsoon conditions in Fenagh and great credit is due to both teams for their efforts despite the conditions. Gortletteragh were represented on the starting team by Niall Tiernan, David Mulvey, Francie Flynn, Evan Ward, John Reynolds, Jack Heslin and Padraig Gallagher. Keoghan McGovern, David Campbell, Dylan Ward and Conor Woods were among the subs. There is a possibility of two U21 games for the club next weekend. The games are due to take place Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Check fixtures for details.

Sympathy:
The club offers sincere sympathy to the family and friends of the late Terry Gilleece who died last week. Terry played for our club in the late 50's and early 60's, he was full back on the team that won the Junior League in 1958. The club formed a guard of honour at Terry's removal to St Patrick's Church, Ballinamuck. We also sympathise with the family and friends of the late Orla O'Reilly who lost her life in a car crash in Donegal last week. Orla's mother Helen is originally from Tooman and her grandfather Paddy Reynolds along with his brothers Charlie and Hubert were key players for the club in the 30's, 40's and 50's. Sincere sympathy to the family and friends of the late Maureen Heslin, Cattan who passed away last week. The club also offers sincere sympathy to the family and friends of the late Phil Davis, Drumlish, his grandnephews and grandniece play for our underage teams. We also sympathise with the family and friends of the late Eleanor Reynolds Drumlish who passed away last week. May they all Rest in Peace.
