Liam Flynn RIP – The Club extends deepest sympathy to the family of Liam Flynn Hill St. who passed away last week. Liam played football with Mohill for many years. He won a minor championship in 1954 and went on to play Junior and Senior in the fifties. He was a prominent player when Mohill won the Junior League and Championship in 1957 and he and his family have remained true supporters all his long life. Ar dheis lámh Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Dunnes Bar Div 1 – Mohill played two games last week in this division. On Wed we had a home game against League leaders Glencar/Manorhamilton.

Scorers for Mohill were J Reynolds 1-3, R Kennedy 0-3, D Flynn 0-3, R Gordon 0-1, S Quinn 0-1. On Saturday we met Gortletteragh and the win there was overshadowed by a serious injury to star young player Jordan Reynolds, Jordan sustained a double fracture to his arm so he will be out for a number of weeks and will be a great loss to Mohill. We wish Jordan a speedy recovery. Scorers on the night were, D Flynn 0-4, J Reynolds, C Kennedy, J Mitchell, K Keegan, S Quinn 0-1 apiece.

Mohill GAA Club Notes 26/06/2018

Mary Kennedy RIP – Mary Kennedy who died on Sunday morning last after a brave battle with illness was the beating heart of this club. Her attachment to her beloved Mohill knew no bounds. She was a trusted officer for many years and over the decades washed and patched thousands of jerseys. Mary was a feeder!  Mohill would hardly have won our last few County titles without her unending supply of sandwiches and her large pots of pasta that would put any Italian mother to shame. She absolutely loved every one of our great young players and they have returned their love in full to her over the last few months. The club is indebted to her heartbroken family, her husband Johnny always on hand to help out, Róisín who keeps Scór alive in the Club and her three sons Seán, Ciarán and Ronan who are ever present in Pairc Philib Mhic Aonghusa. Mary’s two daughters-in-law Helen and Emer and her three grandchildren Cáit, Iarla and Keileigh have given her endless pleasure in the last year and her knitting needles were clicking away for the little ones. Their hearts are now broken, but they can be proud of a great mother who toiled endlessly at any task she was entrusted to. Ní beidh a leitheád arís ann. Rest in peace Mary. You will never be forgotten.

County Team – Congratulations to Leitrim on their big win over Louth on Saturday last and best of luck in the game with Monaghan this weekend. Our players Shane, Alan, James and Domhnaill will make their presence felt we are sure.

Mohill GAA Club Notes 18/06/2018

May her beloved sister rest in peace.

No Funding – The Mohill Club cater for 14 teams and on a Saturday morning you can see up to 150 children Under 10 being coached. This is all played out in ancient and embarrassing facilities. A newly formed Community group applied for funding to improve the buildings. They left no stone unturned and indeed the whole application proved very expensive when the engineers, planners and legal costs were paid, but for some reason, the application was turned down. Needless to say, everyone is disappointed as is Sineád Guckian CC who did all in her power to help out.

Thank you – We thank the Cloone Club for their generous donation towards the Under 13 Final after party
