Allen Gaels GAA Club Notes 07/11/2018

U-15s – The U-15’s season ended in defeat in Cloone on Friday evening when Mohill deservedly came out on top in the final replay on a scoreline of 2-10 to 0-10. The lads struggled with the difficult conditions and were never able to get going whereas Mohill on the other hand adapted much better and built an unassailable lead although we fought right to the end. These players have given tremendous entertainment all season and while they suffered defeat in both league & championship finals they’re very much on an upward curve and we look forward to watching them develop further over the next couple of years. Well done again to the whole panel and a big thank you to Farrell McKeon and Angus Fee for their work with the team and their commitment all year.

Ballinamore Sean OHeslin’s GAA Club Notes 07/11/2018

Dunnes Bar Senior League Final – Hard luck to the team and management, they put up a very brave fight and performed well on Sunday. The luck was not with us from the start conceding a penalty after a couple of minutes which Philip brilliantly saved only for the rebound to bounce around before being forced in, Philip was again on hand not long later with a world class save, and again only moments later Glencar scored a goal. The lads did well and continued to fight hard and early in the second half we were level. Philip was called to action again with a harsh penalty which he again saved, this lifted the supporters and the team and we kept pushing forward only to concede. In the end the gap was 4 points and Glencar were champions.

A special thanks to the players and management team, it’s been a long hard season for you and we appreciate the effort and sacrifices you have made to help the club reach the final and to progress this year. Defeats are hard to take but as we saw after loosing two intermediate finals they can often be a spring board for something great and hopefully our time will come

Glencar/Manorhamilton GAA Club Notes 07/11/2018

Senior League Champions – Pride of place this week goes to our senior football team who captured the Dunnes Bar ACL Division 1 League title on Sunday last in Avantcard Páirc Seán defeating Ballinamore SOH in a hugely entertaining game of football on a scoreline of 2-13 to 1-12.  Manor were led out onto the field by joint captains Adrian Croal and Brian McDonald who were welcome returnees from injuries picked up in the championship semi-final with Gerry Hickey also returning from injury to shore up the defence.  In the opening half Manor were on top leading 2-6 to 0-9 at the interval with Conor Dolan and Seamus Ryder hitting our goals.  In the second half they found a resilient Ballinamore side very hard to break down and in particular the inspired Philip Farrelly in goals who saved his second penalty of the day and numerous shots to keep his side well and truly in the game.  Midway through the second halfBallinamore took the lead but with their backs to the wall our lads came out fighting and finished the contest with 5 unanswered points to claim their 8th Senior League title for the club and our first since 2014 with joint captains Adrian and Brian clearly delighted to be climbing the steps of our county grounds, shoulder to shoulder to accept the Senior League trophy.  Sincere thanks to this group of players who brought honours to the club on Sunday.  We also thank their management team of Shane Ward and Kieran Fox for guiding the team to a senior championship semi-final and senior league success – for the record the team only lost two games all season.  Being in the winning enclosures is a very special occasion for players, their families but most especially for our younger players who aspire to replicate the many Glencar Manor hero’s we have on this senior panel.  We are glad the boys and girls tasted success on Sunday.  Finally, hard luck to the Ballinamore team – we have lost our fair share of finals and know the pain.
