Under 13: U13 Feile na nÓg Quarter final Castleconnor 5-7 v Tubbercurry 2-6 Castleconnor 5-07 -V- 2-06 Tubbercurry The under 13 team have made it through to the semi final of this years Feile competition with a hard fought victory over Tubbercurry on Sunday. Calm conditions made for a good game of football and the team led 3-4 to 2-1 at the interval. Tubbercurry started off well putting the first score up on the board. We were well on top after hitting the net twice but a good comeback with two goals in quick succession from the South Sligo side meant there was little beween the sides. A fortunate goal for us minutes before the break meant we were six up at half time. In the second half we went up by 10 but that lead was cut back to six points with four Tubbercurry points without reply. The team were playing good football and responded well to this threat and this was as close as Tubbercurry got to us. Good displays of flowing football were on display from both sides, and we will be hoping to improve more for our semi final clash. Details are to be confirmed. Sympathy: We extend our deepest sympathy to the Neary Family, Bonniconlon, on their sad bereavement. Hard Luck: Well done to the Calry/St. Joseph's hurlers who put up a battling display against Skehana in the AIB Connacht Junior Hurling Championship Final in Markievicz Park at the weekend. Unfortunately, their display wasn't enough to see them take the spoils. Good Luck: We wish the Eastern Harps senior footballers all the best as they take on Galway champions Corofin in the AIB Connacht Club Football Final on Sunday next in Pearse Stadium, Galway. Tweet
