Glencar/Manorhamilton GAA Club Notes 11/07/2018

Ladies Senior League Champions –  Congratulations to our Senior Ladies team who captured the Division One Ladies League title for the first time in the club’s history last Sunday.  In an enthralling encounter in Leitrim Village the Manor ladies faced stiff opposition in near neighbours St Patrick’s Dromahair. The recent weather ensured optimum conditions for a fast-paced game and the large crowd of supporters from both sides enjoyed an extremely lively game. Dromahair dominated proceedings for the first 15 minutes of the game before the Manor side found their stride which saw goals for Muireann Devaney, Ailbhe Clancy and Leah Fox and ensured a 7 point lead at the interval for the Manor girls. The second half was equally tense, with tenacious tackling in defence, fantastic work rates from midfield and half forwards and a constant threat in front of goals from the Manor side. With the aid of two penalties, Dromahair narrowed the gap, however, some terrific point taking saw the Manor girls capturing the cup on a scoreline of 3-14 to 4-7. Team captain Karen Connolly accepted the cup on behalf of the Glencar Manor Ladies who were managed by Shane Devaney, James Glancy, Eamon Devaney and Dessie McNulty.  Thanks also to the ladies main sponsors McPartland Oils/Sligo Fuels and MacManus Pharmacy.  Attention now turns to the Senior Championship which commences next weekend with Manor having a bye in the first round.  Panel: Alva Sheridan, Rebecca Rooney, Cammie Kennedy, Michelle McNulty, Aoife Gilmartin, Karen Connolly, Annette Ferguson, Dearbhla Rooney, Melissa Hewitt, Roisin Rooney, Ailbhe Clancy, Orlaith Kelly, Siobhan Feely, Leah Fox, Muireann Devaney, Emma McLaughlin, Amanda Sweeney, Laura McCann, Chloe Rooney, Aisling Faulkner, Tara McLaughlin, Aoife Feeney, Laoise Clancy, Eimear O’Connor, Mairead Clancy, Emma O’Hagan, Niamh Feely, Rebecca Rooney, Sarah McGloin, Eimear Feely, Eadaoin Clancy, Mary Broughton, Alaine McPartland, Kate Johnston.

U14 Feile Boys – Our Feile boys team did us all proud this past weekend. They suffered a heart-breaking defeat, literally with the last kick of the game in the All Ireland Cup Final against a fine team from Ballinderry. Their maturity, commitment, skill, desire and never give up attitude was a pleasure to observe. Whilst the result did not go our way, the final was a showcase of what is great about this team, as they absolutely gave it everything. No one could ask for more.  They are fine ambassadors for our Club and wider community. Special thanks must go to a first class management team, consisting of Dominic Kelly, Kevin McManus, Stuart Gilbride and James Glancy. The preparation involved was enormous and a massive undertaking where everything was planned with military type precision. The soaring temperatures and sunny conditions created a bigger than normal workload.   The logistics alone in ensuring the team were adequately hydrated and providing optimum facilities for rest and recover between games should not be underestimated. Thank you lads for giving our boys the opportunity to be the best they could be. You are true role models.  Liatroim Fontenoy were our host club. People can go through life and meet special people and be positively influenced by them. Us as a Club have had the absolute honour of meeting a club of the stature of Liatroim Fontenoy over this past weekend. Their hospitality showed no boundaries, from the first moment our team arrived to their departure for home on Sunday evening. They are the oldest in Co. Down and are in existence since 1888. They are the very centre of their community where young and old are active in all facets of club life. Friendships were made and good memories created. Rumour even has it some of our younger lady supporters have lots of new Snapchat friends! Liatroim Fontenoy can be nothing but a positive influence on us all as individuals and collectively as Glencar Manorhamilton GAA. Credit has to go to all the parents who made this weekend possible. It was their efforts at our “ball run” fundraiser which made it possible. It is the parents who bring the lads to training week in week out and this is not easy as it involves sacrifice in an ever busy life. Parents, you are raising fine young men, you should be very proud. Sincere thanks to all the supporters who made the journey to Co. Down.

U14 Feile Girls – Well done to our U14 Girls Feile Team who reached the All Ireland Division 3 Quarter Finals only to lose out to a strong Offaly side, Naomh Ciaran. The girls won 2 of their 3 group games to qualify for the Quarter Finals on Saturday afternoon, defeating St John Bosco and Rostrevor.  They were hosted by St John Bosco, Louth for the weekend and enjoyed glorious weather conditions throughout the competition, which made playing all the more difficult for all sides. A great bunch of supporters travelled to cheer on the girls who made good friends with their host club thanks to the warm hospitality shown – the team and mentors would like to thank their host club and also their sponsors Killasnett Co-Op, Manorhamilton Credit Union, Cormac O’Mahony – O’Mahony’s Bar, Mullins Manorhamilton, the Bee Park Community Centre (for use of canopy’s) and Gareth Foley in Breffin Travel.  The girls were expertly coached throughout the Feile campaign and special thanks is due to Dermot McMorrow, Martina Brady, Maeve Conlon and Berni McMorrow for leaving no stone unturned in the preparations for this prestigious tournament.  The coaches have also made it known that they were privileged to work with a terrific bunch of girls.
