All County League Division 4
Southern Gaels 1-15 Cullion 1-11
This was a hugely entertaining was played in Pairc Chiaráin, Athlone last Saturday. Cullion played with wind assistance in the first half and led by 0-10 to 1-5. Jack Galvin was excellent at center-field for the visitors with good assistance from center-back James Clarke and Jimmy White. Gaels hung in with some well fashioned points from Fionn Dowd and Tony O'Keeffe. It was a goal direct from a '65 from O'Keeffe that was instrumental in keeping them in touch.
In the second half Gaels scored nine points from play and one '65 to a reply of 1-1 to emerge worthy winners. A solid display from the half-back line with Shane Galvin and Kieran Duncan to the fore was the launching pad for most attacks. Eoghan Cronin was solid at full back with Ryan and Flynn impressive at center-field. However, it was the ever reliable Tony O'Keeffe who scored 1-8 who was the most influential.
Gaels handed debuts to new members Paddy Grace, Donal Hurley and Louis Page and also welcome Tom O'Connor to the club.
Southern Gaels: Paddy Grace, Jonathan Keogh, Eoghan Cronin, Donal Hurley, Shane Galvin, Kieran Duncan (Capt), Sean Carey, Patrick Flynn, Jason Ryan, Fionn Dowd (0-2), Tony O'Keeffe (1-8), Dermot Carey (0-1), Sean Kilgarriff (0-1), Declan Finn (0-1) and Louis Page.
Subs: Colin Larkin for Page, Fran Kelly (0-1) for Finn, Ronan Farrell (0-1) for D Carey, Darragh Kelly for Hurley and Tom O'Connor.

Under 12 v Wolfe Tones
got their League Campaign off to a powerful start with a good win over Wolfe Tones from Longford in Pairc Ciaran on Wednesday last. After a few early wides, the scores began to flow and they dominated for most of the game. Whilst the Longford men battled hard they couldn't cope with fluency and skill of the Southern Gaels lads. What is particularly encouraging about this group is that eleven of the starting fifteen are eligible again next year and three Under 10s were involved and fitted in well. Also the training done over the winter and past few seasons was particularly evident. The team and subs used were: Sean Fox, Daragh Elliot, Chulainn Dowd, Cian O Suilleabhain, Sean Murphy, Cian Geary, Aaron Lynch, Eamonn Martin, Jack McCullagh, Evan Farrell, Eoin McCarthy, Peter Mulvhill, Joe Sweeney, Rory Kilgarriff, Cian McCarthy Subs used Eoin Hardiman, Luke Whelan and Adam Mulvhill. Good Wishes are sent to a member of the panel, Niall Scully, who is currently out injured. Hopefully Niall will be back in a few weeks. Training continues at 6.30 on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6.00 in Pairc Ciaran
