Aughawillan GAA Club Notes 14/11/2018

Senior Championship – Despite battling hard, the Connacht Club Semi-Final didn’t go as we had hoped.

Aughawillan GAA would like to thank everyone who came to Pairc Sean & sent messages of good luck on social media, both last week and during the year – showing how close the community is, despite being scattered around the globe! Thanks also all the players & management who have provided us with many memories throughout the year, brought the Fenagh Cup to Aughawillan and done us all proud in the process. Hon the Willies!!

Junior Championship – Best of luck to the team and management in the Junior Championship Final against Fenagh/St Caillins. The game takes place on Saturday 17th November at 2pm in Ballinamore.

Black and amber represent the original Leitrim GAA colours and the St Bridgets cross is symbolic of both Ballinamore and Kiltubrid. We would like to wish the new club well for the coming season and encourage anyone that would like to assist in the set up of the new amalgamation to make themselves known.

Under 15 Champions – Finally, after two great games, with a strong, sporting Allen Gaels side playing their part, the Under 15s finally added the Championship title to the League won earlier in the year. We feel the pain for Drumshanbo as Mohill were very lucky on the previous Sunday to draw the game, but these boys never give up and this was a team effort with every lad, big and small playing their part. The club wish to acknowledge the input of the Cloone Club who have made generous contributions and make coaches available to all the underage teams. Well done to Mickey Quinn, Aidan Donohue, Matt Gaffey and John Baxter for looking after the boys during the year.

Lough Rynn Sponsorship – We thank the Lough Rynn Castle for sponsoring food for the players, mentors and a fair amount of supporters following the two Under 15 finals. Lough Rynn Castle and Manager Ciarán Reidy have been generous sponsors to the Club for many years now and Mohill is loooking forward to their continued support. They will hopefully be rewarded by success on the field of play in 2019.

Big Draw – The draw will now take place on December 8th so we need sellers to get going as soon as possible before the Christmas rush.
