Sean MacCumhaills MacCumhaills U-14's Overcome tough encounter Our under 14 football team played their 2nd game of the new league campaign against Cloughaneely team. MacCumhaills with the aid of a strong wind started the game brighter with a goal from Martin O Reilly and another from the impressive Shane O Donnell. Gavin "fireman" Gallagher added another point. Captain Rory Dunleavey was next to get his name on the score sheet after a long trail of Cloughaneely scores. O Reilly added another score just before the break leaving the halftime score 2-3 to MacCumhaills to Clougheneely's 1-5. Clougheneely was faster off the block at the start of the 2nd period with three scores to no reply. With substitutions and tactical changes, Mac Cumhaills started to change things around with a fine score from Ryan Duffy. With MacCumhaills trailing by two points a fine goal from Gavin Gallagher inspired the team. He then slotted over a free kick to extend the lead to two points. Clougheneely took over the lead but Shane McMenamin, catching a high ball at the edge of the square, turned and rifled the ball past the goalkeeper and into the net.

Two points up at half time, Aodh Ruadh hit a purple patch midway through the second half when points from Michael Ward, Seamus Kane and Barry Mulligan put five between the team. Cloughaneely tried manfully to reel the Ballyshannon side in, but time ran out for them with the scores at 0-9 to 0-8. It is Aodh Ruadh who progress to the quarter finals of the championship with Naomh Conaill or Saint Eunan's the opponents. See the club website (www.aodhruadh.org) for a full match report and picture of the Aodh Ruadh team for the game. Senior and reserve training continues at 6.45pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

All other areas are non-ticket, admission on the turnstiles, with under 16s free onto terrace. ~HURLING ~ The Under 10 hurlers won a very enjoyable game in Knocks, Co. Fermanagh with a fantastic team performance. The highlight of the game was a great goal by Stephen Anderson, aged 7. The under 16s and minor hurlers are training at 6.45pm in the Park on Mondays and Wednesdays. Underage training for under 10s, 12s and 14s continues at 12 noon on Sunday. ~ LADIES ~ The under 12s continued their improving trajectory with a good run out against Killybegs in Donegal town last Thursday. There was a point between the sides with a minute or two to go, but a goal for Killybegs put a rather more favourable gloss on the final score for the seasiders than the balance of play might have merited. Grainne Gillespie put in a great performance at midfield for Aodh Ruadh and Leanne also had a fine game in the nets doing well to keep the Killybegs forwards at bay.  The under 12 girls are training every Friday at 4.30pm. Under 16 training is on Friday at 6pm in the park. Senior training continues at 7pm on Wednesdays and Fridays. ~ BORD NA NvìG ~ Underage players have been out and about selling lines for guesses as to the cash value of the contents of a bottle of change donated to Bord na nvìg by Mick McGrath of the Bridgend bar. Lines are available at a cost only Eu2 or three for Eu5. The nearest guess will win Eu100. The next two nearest guesses after that will win Eu50 each and the next two nearest guesses after that again will each win one ticket in the Aodh Ruadh Centre of Excellence Draw worth Eu30. The final answer will be revealed when the bottle is burst open and the contents counted at a social night on Saturday in the Bridgend bar. The proceeds are in aid of the Centre of Excellence Development currently underway at Munday's Field in Ballyshannon. With Donegal's encounter against Leitrim at 7pm the bottle bursting will take place at 11.30pm to allow county followers time to get back and take part in proceedings. There will be a number of Bord na nvìg members who will be happy to take your guesses, before they have to get down the serious business of counting the coppers.  All players should return their completed cards to their team manager or a member of the Bord na nvìg committee by Friday evening. Completed cards can also be left into the Bridgend Bar before Saturday evening. Aodh Ruadh under 10s traveled to a blitz in Ballintra last Saturday where teams from Naomh Brid, Pettigo, Four Masters and Kilcar were in competition. The ‚ÄòA' team put in a number of good performances, recording a win, a draw and two losses. Shane McGrath and Philip Patton in the forward sector were Aodh Ruadh's main danger men.  The ‚ÄòB' team won all three of their games with Barry Kelly doing great work in the back line and Ryan Gallagher proving a great attacking threat at half forward. Aodh Ruadh offer their sincerest condolences to the manager of the under 10 team, Colman Kerr on the loss of his father, John, who passed away peacefully on Sunday in Letterkenny Regional Hospital. He was buried on Tuesday afternoon in Portsalon. Ar dheis Dv© go raibh a anam uasal.  Aodh Ruadh's annual Summer Camp is up and running with over 80 youngsters taking part in the first week of the camp.  The camp runs from 10am to 3pm from Monday to Friday. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday feature Gaelic skills plus fun and games. Thursday is swimming with fun and games.

The under 12s odyssey continues this Friday, 6th July when they meet Saint Eunan's in the county semi-final in Donegal town at 7.00pm. The club calls for a big Ballyshannon following to travel down to the game and show the lads their support. The next game for the under 14s is on Wednesday 4th July when the opposition will be Ardara in Father Tierney Park with the throw in at 7.30pm. That will be followed by the final game of the round robin section of the league on Wednesday 11th July when the team travels to Mountcharles to take on Saint Naul's at 7.30pm. The under 16s were forced to concede their preliminary round, second leg game against Glenties last Friday, a decision that sees Naomh Conaill go through to the first round proper of the championship. This ends under 16 action for the year. The Sean Slevin Minor Tournament took place last Saturday with a game between Aodh Ruadh and Bunninadden of Sligo in Father Tierney park. On what was forecast to be a poor day, luck held and there was the blessing of a relatively clear spell to play the game.  Aodh Ruadh were hampered by the loss of a number of players, in particular midfielder, Matthew Thompson, out through suspension, and Donagh McIntyre who was on senior championship duty later in the day.  Bunninadden showed no ill-effects from the long trip up the road from south Sligo and finished the first half with 1-7 to Aodh Ruadh's 0-4. The second half commenced with more of the same as Bunninadden notched up five unanswered points before Aodh Ruadh could make a pointed reply in the 41st minute. Vincent Frizzell was starring for the Sligonians, showing deadly accuracy in front of the posts. It was only with 10 minutes left of the match that Aodh Ruadh found their groove scoring 2-3 in the final phase with Hugh McNeill and Conor Thomas popping up for goals. Time had run out for Aodh Ruadh though, and, in truth, it would have been an injustice to Bunninadden had they lost the match after making the running for so long in the game. The final score was 1-14 to 2-08.  Sean Slevin's widow, Patricia presented runners up medals to the disappointed Ballyshannon side. She then presented the victor's plaque to Vincent Frizzell, the Bunninadden captain. Many thanks to Bunninadden for attending and to everyone who helped out in whatever capacity on the day. See the club website www.aodhruadh.org for pictures from the day's action. The next match on the horizon for the minors is a preliminary round, first leg match against Naomh Columba in Glencolmcille on Friday 6th July at 7.30pm. Minor training is at 8pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. ~ LOTTO ~ There was no winner of the Eu3,600 Aodh Ruadh Lotto jackpot. In the lucky dip Eu100 went to: Claire Downey, The Acres; Eu20 went each to: Charlie Maguire, Chapel Street; Marie Gallagher, Erne Street; Naoise Patton, Killeen; Marian Kelly, Knather; and Ron Sennett, c/o Josie's.
