SWAN BAR DIV 4 LEAGUE – The 2018 div 4 league started on Saturday evening last, when we played Ballinaglera in the Park. If ever a game in capsuled everything that is good about the GAA this game certainly did. Firstly we are indebted to Ballinaglera for agreeing to play the game at a later time, to facilitate players working and we would like to thank them for travelling to Cloone for the game that was a home game for them. This is the type of co-operation we have come accustomed to from this very sporting Club. The game itself was played in very sporting manner with Ballinaglera winning on a scoreline of 3 14 to 2 03. Irrespective of the scoreline it was great to see the two clubs being in a position to field a second team and well done to all involved. Ballinaglera players and mentors also joined us for some after match refreshment upstairs in the club rooms. Another encouraging aspect of the game was the number of our young players who are eligible to play adult football this year, and all acquitted themselves very well. Of course, there were some not so young who were making a comeback which was great to see. Cloone team A Canning, J Veesey, R McCaffrey, G McKeon, R Maguire, D Keegan, J Creegan, M Bohan, D Kelly, M Tiernan, A Kelly T Doherty, R Mulvey, A Nichols A Beirne, Sub used A Mulvey. The club would like to extend a sincere word of gratitude to the ladies who looked after the catering on the evening, namely Angela Keegan, Mary Doherty, and Anne Maguire. This weekend we play Aughavas and no doubt another cracker in store. All players are asked to be available.
