ACL Division 2
Drumkeerin...........................1-10
Glencar/Manorhamiton...........1-08
A strong second half comeback was enough to see us past a strong
Glencar/Manorhamilton second team in the pitch on Sunday. Things did
not look good in the first half when we went 7 points down despite be
fairly level in possession.
The game marked the return to competitive action of Eddie
McTiernan and despite little or no football over the last nine or so
months Eddie delivered some great scores in the second period. He was
greatly added by Daragh Flynn, Stephen Gilhooly, and Keith Gallagher
whose goal turned the tie in our favour.
While it was in no means a perfect performance, the game
at least showed that we have the belly for a contest when it presents
itself. Our backs totally snuffed out a classy Glencar/Manor attack
after the break and our mid-field pairing really got on top and drove
at the Manor defence.
Well done to the team and management. Up next is Bornacoola
away on Saturday week.
ACL Division 3
Our Junior side get their campaign underway against Sean O'Heslins at
home on Saturday afternoon at 4pm. Please support. A good win will be
the perfect tonic for the awards night.
Ladies Training
Ladies training continues this week after a successful start last
Friday night. A good number of players turned out for the team wwhich
will be coached by Eamon O'Grady Jnr and John Joe Byrne.
Apparently there was a number of 'old' faces returning to the
fold after a few years in exile. We look forward to the start of games
for them.
Minors
Our minors take on Melvin Gaels this Sunday away. If at all possible
please support.
