BUCKET COLLECTION
On behalf of the two charities that were involved in the bucket collection in Enniscrone town on August 12, Aoibheann’s Pink Tie and SLV Global, we would like to thank everyone for their extreme generosity. The total amount raised added up to €6,030 which will be hugely beneficial in order to help the families of children who are diagnosed with cancer and who are attending ST John’s Oncology Ward, in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital where the Colleary family attend, and also on Aoife Mullrooney’s Mental Health Placement in Sri Lanka. A special thank also to Enniscrone Fire Service, who spent the day collecting at either end of the town. This fantastic result could not have been done without you all.
ENNISCRONE-KILGLASS GAA
Our intermediate team had a very good workout on Friday night when they took on Tourlestrane in the Abbott Cup at Tourlestrane. Ending as twopoint winners, 1-14 to 1-12, this was a useful encounter for the team against an impressive Tourlestrane side. The lads did well in the second period in particular, having trailed by 0-10 to 1-6 at the interval. It served as good preparation ahead of a massive game next Sunday, when we travel to Markievicz Park to play Geevagh in the Intermediate Championship quarter-finals at 2 p.m. Best wishes to all of the players and management please support for this important fixture.
