Carrigallen GAA Club Notes 29/08/2018

U17’s – Hard luck to St. Joseph’s U17’s who were defeated by an outstanding St. Mary’s team in the championship semi final on Sunday evening in Carrick. Playing with wind advantage in the first half, our lads competed admirably against a much physically stronger St. Mary’s outfit, however, in the second half our opponents turned the screw and ran out comprehensive winners.
U13’s –  St Joseph’s U13s played Dromahaire away on Thursday evening. In what was a well contested game between two evenly matched teams St Joseph’s playing with wind advantage led at halftime on a scoreline of St Joseph’s 1-11 Dromahaire 2-2. Going into the final stretch our lads were leading by 4 points but the concession of two goals in quick succession changed the complexion of the game and Dromahaire ran out winners on a final scoreline of St Joseph’s 2-13 Dromahaire 6-3. Hard luck lads but hopefully some lessons learned. The next game is against Manorhamilton on Monday with the winners of the game to play Dromahaire in the shield final.

U9’s – St. Joseph’s U9’s made the short journey to Drumreilly last Saturday morning to take on Garadice Gaels in an U9 blitz. Well done to all players who participated and to our hosts for organising
Go Games – We would like wish Aoibhin Sheridan the best of luck on Sunday she is representing Carrigallen  NS  and leitrim in the go games at the All Ireland final on Sunday. Well  done Aoibhin…
U13’s – St Joseph’s U13s played St Mary’s in the latest round of the championship in Carrigallen on Thursday evening. In a closely contested first half St Joseph’s acquitted themselves well and were a bit unlucky to be trailing at half time on a scoreline of St Joseph’s 0-06 St Mary’s 2-06. The second half saw St Mary’s pull away to record a comfortable win on a final  scoreline of St Joseph’s 1-09 St Mary’s 6-10. While it was disappointing to lose another game it was encouraging to see the St Joseph’s lads kept trying their best to the end and hopefully they will put in positive performances in the remaining games.
U17’s – Well done to St. Joseph’s U17’s who recorded a good win over Leitrim Gaels in their final group stage game played in Aughavas last Monday evening. This leaves us with a good chance of reaching the semi final stage depending on other results this week. Best wishes to St. Joseph’s player Jordan Cowell who sustained a bad ankle injury during the game.
U9’s – Well done to the U9’s who hosted Fenagh last Saturday in Carrigallen and played so well. We play Garadice Gaels in our next blitz this Saturday in Drumreilly at 10am.
Well done to our intermediate Team on their win over Eslin on Sunday. And good luck to our Juniors on Saturday in the quarter final in Carrick against Melvin Gaels.

Mohill GAA Club Notes 29/08/2018

Recent Deaths – The Club extend deepest sympathy to the family of John Hynes who died last week. John was married to Kathleen Mitchell a great footballing family in Mohill and was uncle to players Ronan Gallagher, James and David Mitchell. He worked in Quinns of Mohill for many years before the family moved to Leixlip but always kept close contact with the town he loved so well. May he rest in peace.

Richie Flynn RIP – Condolences also to the family of Richie Flynn who died last week leaving behind a grieving wife and two very young children. It is so sad for all his family as his father Liam only passed away a short time ago. Richie was also a member of a great footballing family in Mohill and supported the Club always. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

Senior Championship – After a slow start in Ballinamore on Saturday last the seniors finally got the measure of a strong Drumreilly challenge and emerged worthy winners in the end.

Intermediate Championship – The Intermediates were beaten by three points in their game with Ballinamore at the weekend. It was a close game all through with all players giving their all.

Under 17 – The minor boys collected some silverware on Sunday last when they narrowly beat Dromahaire in the Div 2 Shield final. Dromahaire were ahead for most of the game but our lads showed great heart to dig deep and get this victory. Most of the players are eligible for next year so hopefully 2019 should be a good year for them. The panel and scorers was, S Moran, C Donoghue, F Cassells 1-0, J Murphy, L Ellis 1-1, D Duignan 0-2, G Reynolds 0-1, C Quinn 1-2, S Bohan 0-1, C Keegan, C Mulligan, A Nitche, C Wuabah, A McCrann 0-2, N McNabola, S Curran, D McCrann, Well done to John Baxter, Matt Gaffey and Paul Tighe who looked after these boys all year.

Make Your Mark – As can be seen, the work is going well on the Development at the Community Centre and Melvin Park. Funds are needed badly and it will take a lot to complete Phase 1, which is realignment of the carpark wall and draining and re alignment of the playing. It is an exciting and ambitious project which will cost in excess of €200,000 but it is urgently needed. The support has been very good so far. The fundraising will involve “Make Your Mark on Melvin Park” for €100 which will represent a square of Melvin Park, entry into a draw, prizes 5x €1000, and your name on a commemorative plaque.
