Fenagh St Caillin’s GAA Club Notes 03/10/2017

With two championship semi-finals up for decision, last weekend hopes were high of reaching the final in both. In the first game on Saturday morning our u17 team took on St Mary’s Kiltoghert. The first half was closely contested with Mary’s going in at half-time a goal up. The Fenagh lads hit some good form as the second half progressed and hit goals at crucial times running out winners on a scoreline of 6.11 to 2.09. This win sets up a County Final meeting with neighbours Sean O’Heslins on Sunday 15th October. On Saturday evening the Junior B semi-final took place with Glencar Manor the opposition. Despite Fenagh starting well and leading through the second half, Manor got a goal at a crucial time and try as they might Fenagh couldn’t respond with Glencar Manor holding out in the end for a 2 point victory on a scoreline of 1.09 to 0.10.

The Fenagh team of 1967 who won the Leitrim Junior Championship will be honoured on Saturday 14th October next to mark the 50th anniversary of their success. A special mass will be celebrated in St Mary’s Church Foxfield at 7pm by Club President Fr Tommy Greenan and afterwards, a social event will take place at The Abbey Bar. All club members are invited and encouraged to attend as well as everyone in the community.

Fenagh St Caillins were represented by James Gilheaney, Colm McLoughlin, Ruairi O’Rourke and Matthew Hargaden in the Connacht U12’s skills challenge held recently at the Connacht Centre of Excellence. The lads acquitted themselves very well against the best in the province and finished 2nd overall in the scoring competition.

On Wednesday evening 4th October our u11’s take part in Leitrim blitz in the Leitrim Centre of Excellence at 6.30pm and on Saturday next 7th October our u12’s take part in the annual Shane Brennan Tournament in Newtownforbes.
