ENNISCRONE-KILGLASS GAA
Intermediate: Our intermediate team secured a 2-16 to 0-7 win over Eastern Harps on Saturday evening in Gurteen. On a difficult evening with many players absent, those present gave a very assured display. There was also the welcome return of Nathan Hannon to the black and amber and he had a fine hour at midfield. The team play St Mary’s next Saturday evening at 7.30 p.m. in Quigabar.
Minor: The EnniscroneKilglass / Easkey minor team had their league game against Curry rescheduled to July 11 They will also have a game on Thursday evening either a cup or shield semi-final. Keep an eye out for details.
Under-14: Our under-14s endured an agonising defeat when they succumbed to TubbercurryCloonacool in an exciting Division Two Shield final at Scarden last Friday, 6-8 to 3-14. The lads will be very disappointed at the outcome having dominated the game, but they missed too many goal chances and the winners came good at the end to secure the honours. Nonetheless, our lads acquitted themselves very well throughout the league and look forward to the championship. Thanks to the great travelling support on the evening.
Under-12: County Scene Commiserations to Ciaran O’Dowd, Josh Ellis, Eoin Hallinan and the Sligo minors on losing out to Galway in the Connacht MFC final last Sunday at Pearse Stadium 3-11 to 0-10. Josh started at full-back, while Ciaran occupied the left-half forward position. The team still qualify for the all-Ireland quarter-finals, where they will play Derry or Cavan in the coming weeks.
