Drumkeerin GAA club notes

August 17, 2010
IFC Quarter Final
It is a big day for the club this Sunday as we travel to Drumshanbo to
take on near rivals Ballinaglera in the quarter-final of the
Intermediate Football Championship.
Regardless of who we were playing it would have been a big game but a
chance to take on our near neighbours has certainly spiced up the
encounter.
The team has trained exceptionally hard since its last encounter
against Aughawillan and will be doing their utmost to win. We wish
them the best of luck.

*The game was due to take place at 7.15pm on Sunday evening in
Drumshanbo. However this fixture has been brought forward to either
12.30pm or 1pm. Please check this paper for details.

JFC
Well done to the Junior team who defeated Annaduff in their final
group game of the Junior Football Championship. Final score:
Drumkeerin 3-6, Annaduff 1-5.
It is a terrific result for the team and now puts them into a quarter
final in two weeks time. Well done.

Under 14s
The Under 14 team went down to Aughavas on Friday evening in a very
tight game. They take on Aughnasheelin this Friday at 7pm in the
pitch. Good luck.

MFC
The Minor Football Championship resumes this week when the Minor
T]team take on Melvin Gaels at home on Wednesday at 7pm. It is a very
important game for the team and your support would be appreciated.

Good luck to the Under 8s and Under 10s who will be involved in a
blitz with Glencar/Manorhamilton this Thursday evening. Can all

Ladies News

Thanks to Laurine Walpole for the following:

Under 12s
The entire club is talking about the fantastic game of football that
took place on Saturday evening last in Drumkeerin. Drumkeerin were
playing their near rivals Dromahair and they needed a win to secure a
place in the A final. The last occasion the sides meet the result was
a draw therefore there was huge support out for the closely contested
game. Drumkeerin were a goal down at half time but played to their
true potential in the second half and won on a scoreline of 2.07 to
2.05. It's great to see such skilful footballers coming through for
the Ladies and well done to the girls who were applauded by the crowd
for providing such an entertaining game of football. The final will
take place on the week-end of the 3rd September.

Minors
The minors played with great heart and determination last week against
St. Joseph's and were very unlucky to lose out by a goal. The girls
were playing against Aughlin Gaels yesterday.

Table Quiz
The second of the four table quizzes took place in Forde's Inn on
Sunday night and it proved to be an enjoyable night for all. The
wining team consisted of Joe Early, Eamonn O'Grady (Snr), Ian Forde
and Simon Mc Guigan. Thanks to Mary Bohan, Ian Forde, Kennys shop,
Richard Mc Tiernan and Joe Early for sponsoring prizes on the night.
Thanks also to Forde's for hosting the event and serving sandwiches. A
final word of thanks to Seamus Gallagher for making out the questions
and acting as an excellent quiz-master. The next quiz will take place
in Wynne's Bar next Sunday night so please support.
