Drumkeerin GAA notes

June 22, 2009
Under 16s Hard luck to our Under 16 team who lost to St Mary's of Carrick-on-Shannon by two points in the Division One Final on Friday. Although this correspondent was not at the match my understanding is that the team were unlucky not to win on the night. Hard luck to all involved but remember Championship isn't too far away. Juniors Our Division 3 went down to a very strong Glencar/Manorhamilton side in the revised Round 7 of the league on Sunday. The lads endeavoured well and following a couple of injuries their challenge petered out. Hard luck to those involved but with one game to go they are still within a chance of staying up. Lotto Our latest lotto draw took place on Saturday the20th of June. Unfortunately there was no Jackpot winner. The five Ä20 winners were as follows Mary Mc Hugh - Turpann, Drumkeerin, Amy Bohan - Drumkeerin, Roisin Devenany - Drumkeerin, Aileen Gormely - Aughnasheelin and Adrian Mc Keague - Carrick-on-Shannon Thanks to Eamonn O'Grady Snr for co-ordinating the draw. The next draw takes place inDavitt'sJuly 5thwith a jackpot of Ä2,195. Table Quiz The second of the club's four table quizzes was held in the Forde's Inn on Sunday night. Thanks to everyone that attended as once again it was a great success. For the second week running we had ten tables taking part on the night. It was a comfortable victory for the team consisting of Brena Dolan, Deirdre Davitt, Michelle McNama and Joe Early. Thanks to Ian and the rest of the Forde family for providing the premises and sponsoring a bottle of whiskey. To Anne Fallon who also sponsored a spot prize and the same to Kenny's XL Stop and Shop. Gabriel Flynn, who will be sorely missed in his absence next week, once again held the floor wonderfully. Also thank you to Laurine and Camilla for preparing and correcting the questions for the night. The third quiz takes place this Sunday (the 28th of June) at 9.30pm in Wynne's. 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. Handball Well done to the Handball club on their wonderful achievement at the weekend on reaching the Girls 2009 Feile na nGael Division 3 Handball Final. The girls went down to Kilkenny's Goresbridge in the decider however they accounted for some big names along the way. It's great to see the club continuously going strong so well done to all involved.
