Glencar/Manorhamilton Club notes
March 16, 2010MINOR TEAM NEWS
We travelled up on Sunday morning last to play St. Manachan's in the second round of the 15 aside Minor League. At the end of a good game we lost out to the Mohill/Eslin combination on the score line 2-11 to 1-10. We played our best football in the first half and deservedly led by two points at half-time. After the break St. Manachan's started to get a firm grip around the middle of the field and gradually turned the game in their favour. However we finished very strong and were unlucky not to get something out of the game. Injuries to a number of players left us with a small squad on the day. S. McPartland, A Gilligan, K McGriskan, C. O'Connor, C. McManus, D. Skimin, N. McLoughlin, P. Loughlin, D McWilliams, R. Flynn, M McGourty, J. Rooney, N. Brady, D. McNulty, A. Curran, K, Kerrigan, C. McDermott, M. McDermott, B. Rooney, K Clerkin.
SENIOR LEAGUE
Our senior team got made the trip to Aughawillan and came away with a deserved 1-12 to 0-7 victory. There were some very good performances throughout the team. Full match report elsewhere in paper.
INTERMEDIATE LEAGUE
In a busy weekend our second team played Cloone in the Bee Park. A great day for football with the sun shining down, the visitors went in at half time with a one point lead on 0-6 to 0-7. It was point for point almost for the first 15 minutes of the second half until a long range free effort from Aaron Hickey hovered over the goal mouth and was converted well by Mark Reilly. This was soon followed by a second yellow card for one Cloone player and we were able to build on this lead. Some good displays all round with some fine scores from Evan Sweeney and Aaron Hickey. Team & Scorers: C. Gilligan, S. Loughlin, S Devaney, J. Fox, I Feeney, S. Kerrigan, G. Hickey, C. McEneaney, A Hickey (0-5), M. Reilly (1-0), S. Watters, S. O'Hara, B. McDonald (0-1), A. McDonald (0-2), E Sweeney (1-4).
HURLING NEWS
Well done to our senior hurlers on their 02nd win in the Ulster League against the visiting Aodh Ruadh of Ballyshannon. With our Senior footballers in action in Aughawillan the hurlers were missing a good few dual players, but fair play to the younger hurlers who held on for a fantastic victory. It was a tough battle throughout the 60 minutes. Manor were 3 points behind at half time but showed great character to come from behind and win on a score line of 3-04 to 2-06. Gary Hickey rifled a 21 yard free into the top corner to win the game in the last minute. J Rooney, D Ryan, R O'Snodaigh put in great displays in the forward line while Patrick Clerkin, S Feeney & Captain C Phibbs worked tirelessly in defence. We now face Knock Grattan's of Fermanagh next Saturday away. Team & Scorers: C Cullen, G. McSharry, C. Beattie, J O'Brien, C Phibbs, P Clerkin, S Feeney, C O'Connor, G Hickey (2-0), M Dolan (0-3), P Loughlin, D Ryan (1-0), J. Rooney, P Clancy (1-0), R O'Snodaigh, N. McLoughlin, N Brady.
