Enniscrone/Kilglass GAA notes

June 26, 2017

Fundraising

We have been overwhelmed with the generosity of the local community and indeed beyond in our fundraising efforts for the new Indoor Astro Turf complex. After last week's collection we are at €70200 and wish to thank all of those who have donated already for their fantastic generosity. We still require €5000 more to hit our target, and anyone who wishes to sponsor a block or a brick can visit our website or contact any committee member.

Intermediate

Our intermediate team secured an important win over Tourlestrane in Division Three last Sunday evening in Quigabar. Only a single point separated the sides at the finish, 2-14 to 2-13 after a cracking contest. Tourlestrane utilised several senior squad members and the sides were locked together at the break at 1-8 apiece, but our lads fought hard to secure the result. They have a break in action next weekend - training continues during the week.

Minor

The Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey minor team return to league action on Friday evening when they host Curry in Quigabar at 7pm.

U-16

Our U-16s play St Mary's tomorrow evening (Monday) at 7pm in Quigabar.

U-14 Feile weekend

Our U-14s had a fantastic weekend at Feile in Ballinagh, Co Cavan. They won two group games against Ballinagh and Mountnugent to qualify for the cup quarter-final, but fell to a strong St Patrick's Óg side from Longford in the last 8. It was an absolutely fantastic weekend and we extend a heartfelt thanks to Ballinagh GAA club for their terrific hospitality and friendship throughout the weekend. Our players acquitted themselves very well and did the club and county proud on the national stage. We thank Johnny Mullaney our bus driver, sponsors Ken Foley of Supermacs for the team gear and Milo Tuffy (Milo's and Gala) for refreshments for the team, and Michael Duffy who was physio for the weekend. Well done to the management team of John Paul Carden and Brian Coleman too on their work with the players and organising the weekend so well. On the domestic scene earlier this week, the lads qualified for the Division Two Shield final with an excellent 6-10 to 2-19 over Shamrock Gaels in Coola. Details of the final fixture will be made available shortly.

 

 

U-12

Our U-12s play Curry on Tuesday evening at 7pm in Quigabar. Good luck all.

Bonfire Night

Many thanks to the Ladies Committee and Sheridan's Kilglass for organising a very enjoyable bonfire night last Friday evening. It was a great event once again and everyone enjoyed the evening free of charge. We look forward to it again next year!

County Scene

Best wishes to Ciaran O'Dowd, Josh Ellis, Eoin Hallinan and all the Sligo minors in their Connacht Championship clash with Leitrim on Wednesday evening. Gavin Duffy excelled for the Sligo U-16s last Friday evening, scoring 1-2 for the home side in an impressive win over Mayo.

Blotto

There was no winner of last weekend's blotto jackpot. Next Saturday's jackpot is €8900. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
