Minor
Congratulations to our minor panel and their management team on retaining the Minor 'C' Championship title following a hard-fought one point win over Owenmore Gaels at Markievicz Park last Saturday afternoon.
After a difficult first half our lads were five points down, but fought back with vigour to lead by a point going into injury time. However, Owenmore Gaels found a final score with the last kick of the game to send us into extra time. Two goals in the first half of extra time proved crucial with Robert Grimes and Nathan Hannon on target, and Nathan Hannon's point in the second period proved decisive as our lads held on for a one point win.
This was a tremendous effort from the entire tight-knit panel of players, and indeed from the management team of Brendan Murray, Ray Carden and Eugene Nelson. Congrats to all involved and we hope to see this bunch of players achieve success again as their careers within the club continues on to adult level.
Team: Gavin Hastings; Jason Morrison, Aaron Hannon; Neil Byrne, James Hannon; Dónal Mullaney(0-1, 1f), Nathan Hannon(1-6, 4f); Oisin McCaffrey(1-1), Mark Caffrey(0-1); Robert Grimes(1-2), Hugh Cawley(0-1, 1f) Subs: Daire O'Regan, Jack Kilcullen, Martin McManus, Brandon Fitzgerald, Darren Finnerty, Aaron Duffy, Mark O'Dowd Thomas Finnerty.
U14
Our u14 qualified for the county semi-final in unusual circumstances last week after they received a walkover from Bunninadden last Friday evening. The lads have won 4 of their five group games. Details of the semi-final fixture have yet to be released. Training continues this week.
Congrats to Kris Gilroy, Kilglass, on winning three gold medals at the Special Olympics in Belgium recently.
Date for your diary - we are going to be hosting the inaugural Enniscrone Surf and Turf run on Saturday, October 25th (bank holiday weekend). This unique event promises to be a terrific day out and teams will compete for a €500 O'Neills sports voucher, with individual categories also available (men's, ladies, youths). More details to follow this week. Your support is appreciated.
