Mohill GAA Club Notes 25/09/2017

Senior Championship

Thanks to the hard work of mentors and players over the last nine months the people of Mohill can now enjoy the build-up to the County Senior Final in two weeks time. St Mary’s were at their peak on Saturday last and only a point separated the sides at the end of a tough but sporting encounter. Glencar-Manorhamilton will be our opposition on October 8. Get out your flags and buntings now and light up the town.

Under 13

After a long year of disappointments and near misses, the Under 13s, at last, got their hands on silverware, when they beat Drumshanbo in the shield final in perfect conditions in Fenagh on Sunday morning. This was a brilliant game of football with all the skills on view and only a point separating the teams in the end. Luke Bohan pulled off some great saves in goal while Adam McGuiness, Daniel Scott, Michael Tiernan, Eoghan Duignan, Jack Rowley and Cathal Donoghue were heroic in defence. James Foy and the towering Conor Keegan played very well at centre field, Conor covered every inch of the pitch and saved many attacks on the goal, he also scored 1-3. The forwards worked tirelessly and took their scores well, Senan Curran, Thomas McNabola 1-0, Colin McNamara 0-1, Shane Duignan, Matthew Murphy our top scorer all year scored 1-10 and Michael McDonagh. Subs were, Aidan Mulligan, Diarmuid Casey, Brandon Logan, Liam Flynn, Shane Mulligan, Anthony Lubey, Harry Boyle and the two injured goalies Oskar Moj and Aaron McCrann. We thank Paul Murphy, Seamus Tiernan, Kevin Curran and John McGuiness for looking after the boys.

Carrigallen GAA Club Notes 25/09/2017

Intermediate Championship
Hard luck to our seniors who were defeated by a superior Aughnasheelin team in the semi final of the intermediate championship in Ballinamore last Sunday. The damage was done in the 1st half where we were left trailing by 1-10 to 0-03 at half time. We performed much better in the second half, led by an ageless Andrew McManus, but our opponents were always able to maintain their first half score advantage. Final score: Aughnasheelin 1-17 Carrigallen 0-10. Team & scorers: Darren Kenny, Anthony Kenny, Barry Nash, Barry Reilly, Daniel Lyons, Barry Dolan, David Reilly, Eoin Ward (0-4), Darran Reilly,  Gerard McDermott (0-1), Thiernan O’Rourke (0-3), Ciaran Kenny, Marc Dolan, Ciaran Flynn (0-1) & Colm Kiernan. Subs: Andrew McManus (0-1) for Barry Dolan, Brian O’Rourke for Ciaran Kenny, Ciaran Reilly for Colm Kiernan, Derek Reilly for Daniel Lyons & Sean McCabe for Marc Dolan.

Leitrim Gaels Club Notes 25/09/2017

Intermediate – The Intermediate team booked themselves a place in the county final after seeing off a very good Drumkeeran side in the semi-finals in Ballinamore on Sunday afternoon. Trailing by 6 points the Gaels pulled in back with a goal from Liam Moreton and some great points from Aidan Flynn, Eunan Tracey and Shaun Chandler. Every player put their heart on the line in truly epic comeback to emerge victorious 1-13 to 1-10.  The final is against Aughnashellin on Sunday 8th October at 1:30 pm in Pairc Sean. The team would like to thank our supporters, the last 3 games the Gaels support has increased, as has the decibel level of noise. Thanks for getting behind the team and we hope you will return on the 8th of October to get behind the team. Let’s start getting the green and purple flags out for the next fortnight.

Turn the Village Purple and Green – In preparation for the county final car and house flags will be available to purchase as well as bunting to put up around your house and business. We will also be running a Predict the score with sheets available in the village. For all of the above please contact Mark Chandler, Jonathon Moffitt or any committee member.

Under 17’s – Under 17’are playing in a Championship Semi Final this weekend against Drumkeeran on Saturday at 12 noon in Drumkeeran. We wish Joe and the team all the best to and hope to see Leitrim Gaels in another final.

Senior Championship

It’s not often that you would say to players to celebrate after a defeat in the semi final of a championship, but celebrate they should. At the start of the campaign if you would have said we would reach this point, with a young team that had come up from intermediate, that would have been a high bar and one that many of us would have been delighted to reach. The players and coaches have brought the club on a magnificent journey these last few months, it’s been many a year since we would have seen as many fans travelling and cheering the lads on, we as fans have enjoyed every moment of that journey, the lads have played a great brand of exciting football and have been an inspiration to the young people of the town, you only must look at the demand for club gear to see it. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the players, management and supporters, you have done the club and Ballinamore proud- hold your heads High and shoulders straight because as sure as the sun rises tomorrow you will come back stronger.

Congratulations to Glencar Manor and good luck to them in the final

Under 17 Lads
Well done to our u17 lads who were also in action today against Fenagh
The match was played in slippery conditions with a very strong breeze. SOH had the advantage of the breeze in the first half and led 1-6 to 0-2 at half time. Unlucky to miss two good goal chances also. Fenagh came back stronger in second half and tied the game in the last couple of minutes.
Next up for the lads is a match against Melvin Gaels in the semi on Saturday at 1600 In Manorhamilton.
Team Jack Gallogley. Danny Smyth. Nathan McCartin. James Creamer. Aaron McBrien. Francis McGovern. Senan Harte. Cathal McHugh. Dara Gleeson. Dylan Beirne. Mathew Morris. James Honeyman. Sean Christy. Tom Prior. Joe Sweeney. Subs used Euan McManus. Eoin Curran.

Well done to our u12 girls who had a great semi final victory over Drumkeerin at the weekend,. The win sets the girls up for a final meeting against Aughawillan.

Oughteragh Gaels 

Well done to all of our Minor Ladies defeated St Brigid’s by 1-11 to 0-11 in a fierce battle in Carrigallen on Friday evening. The game was played in a great spirit throughout, with both teams going hell for leather from the word go, and thankfully we managed to come out on top with Aoife McCartin’s first half goal ultimately separating the teams. Emma McGovern had an outstanding game in the middle of the field, scoring no less than 7 points, whilst Mollie Murphy and Emma Honeyman both did trojan work in defense. Grainne Casey also excelled in goal by making a number of brilliant saves, whilst Megan McGovern and Niamh Donohoe’s impact from the bench can’t be understated either. This win puts the team in a strong position to reach the county final and hopefully they’ll keep their good run of form going.
Team: Grainne Casey, Emma Honeyman, Kiera Masterson, Grainne Prior, Laoise Moran King, Abbi Sweeney, Mollie Murphy, Maeve Hamill, Emma McGovern (0-7), Sinead O’Neill (0-2), Ciara McGoldrick, Genevieve Canning, Aoife McCartin (1-0), Megan O’Rourke, Lily Bryne (0-1).

Barna Recycling U-13 Boys 15 aside Shield Final
The boys were pipped at the last by Mohill after a thrilling encounter in Fenagh on Sunday morning with the final score 4-10 to 3-15. We led at the break by 3-08 to 2-09 after an end to end half with our goals coming from Mark Reynolds, Cian Dennis & Jake Tobin. Mohill started the better after the interval and levelled after 5 minutes. Ciaran McMorrow, who is just back from injury after a year on the sidelines, hit 2 quick fire points as the teams traded scores. A goal from Jake Tobin put us in the lead with time running out but Mohill struck a goal themselves in the last minute & added a point in injury time to seal the win. Well done to Cyril, Kenneth, Enda, Farrell and the team who played their hearts out not just on Sunday but throughout the championship.
