Senior Football Championship

Sean Finns Senior Championship season came to an end last Friday evening when they were defeated by Monaleen in Clarina. After a promising start to the game they led at half time by two points after some very good play. On the resumption the Rathkeale men hit four bad wides and lost momentum after the deluge of rain once Monaleen slowed the game down. Final result was Monaleen 2-08 Sean Finns 1-09. Sean Finns will take positives from the game and the season in general as they played many games without six or seven regulars. It was also our debut year as a senior team and the main challenge was to avoid relegation which they have achieved, let's hope we can build on this next year and reach the knock out stages. Pallasgreen are now involved in the relegation battle while Ballylanders and St Patricks are paired against Newcastlewest and St Kierans respectively in the Quarter Finals. Drom/Broadford & Fr Caseys await the winners of the aforementioned pairings to play the semi-finals.

 

West Senior Hurling Championship Final
The Rathkeale House Hotel sponsored West Senior Hurling championship final between Knockaderry and Feenagh/Kilmeedy was due to be played in the Bog Garden last Sunday evening but was postponed by the West Board at the request of Feenagh/Kilmeedy.

West Minor Football Championships
Our minor footballers await the fixture of the semi-finals which were held up due to Limericks involvement in the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Final. As group winners, will be in the A Semi-finals against the team that finishes 4th in the group

 

Minor Hurling
St Marys will need results against Askeaton and Feenagh/Kilmeedy if we are to retain any hope of making the top-2 places and secure a semi-final spot. We have plenty of games in the pipeline and the management and players, under the guidance of Jerry Molyneaux are all set for action. Our game against Askeaton is scheduled for August 29th.

Scrap Metal
There's an old saying that says "It's an ill wind that blows no good". Maybe the storms of the spring have increased the possibility of scrap metal in the area. We would like take this opportunity to remind our friends and supporters that the club has an on-going scrap metal collection operation in place. Contact James O'Connor or any committee member if you have anything to donate. Collection can be arranged if necessary.
