Tuam Stars Notes

December 11, 2008
Our Senior team were defeated by Maigh Cuilinn in the Clayton Hotel County League, Section B final on Saturday in Headford, 1-7 to 0-7. At half-time we went in 0-4 to 0-3 ahead but in the final minute of the match Maigh Cuilinn got the all-important goal to win by three points.This game was in the melting pot with each side giving their all, but it was not to be our day. We can take something out of this year's endeavours with promotion to 1A of the League. Keep the heads up lads; with a bit of luck we will in with a shout for better days ahead. Our scorers were Ja Fallon (0-3), Darren Kelly and Paul Doherty (0-2 each).?We thank Tom McHugh and the staff of The Ard Ri House Hotel for hosting us after the game.As we come towards the end of the year the sponsorship of our adult teams' deal with Ron·n Long of Property Partners Long Estate Agents comes to an end with his three years of generous sponsorship.
