ENNISCRONE-KILGLASS GAA
Our intermediate team play Tourlestrane in the Abbott Cup on Friday evening at 9 p.m. under lights in Tourlestrane.
The Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey minor team lost out to Eastern Harps last Thursday evening in the ‘A’ Championship, 0-16 to 1-7. With the squad severely depleted due to injuries, this was a gallant effort but ultimately the better team won out. There is a break now till the final group game against Tubbercurry/Cloonacool on September 15.
Our under-14s play Coolera/ Strandhill on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in the Division Two shield competition.
Our under-12 boys suffered defeat at the final hurdle when they lost out to Curry in the Divi- sion Two final last Friday evening at Scarden, 0-13 to 0-6. This was a very disappointing end to what has been a fantastic year for the lads, but they were defeated by an impressive Curry side on the night. Nonetheless, the team performed very well throughout the year winning all games on route to the final and they most definitely have a promising future ahead of them in black and amber. Thanks to all players, coaches and parents for their efforts throughout the year.
