OWENMORE GAELS
THE Senior Men came up short against Coolera/Strandhill in a sun drenched Connolly Park on Saturday evening. Two quick-fire second half goals from the visitors propelled them to a five point victory. An entertaining game which could have gone either way, but a big improvement on last week’s outing. Again a number of youngsters involved today who showed well. A decent run-out in preparation for when the real business starts in two weeks time against Geevagh in Division 2.
Team: Gavin Phelan, Garrett Lavin, Jason Farrell, Cian Whiteside, Bryan McPartland, Jack Foley, Shane Maye (Peter Wynne), Derek Lynch, Simon Cashman (Trevor Sweeney), Ross Farrell, Alan Flynn, Kevin Healy, Ryan Philips, Aaron Nicholson (Niall Hodgins), Adrian Egan (Callum Tonry).

ST FARNAN’S
THE intermediate team got their first win in the league against Enniscrone/ Kilglass on Sunday in Templeboy.
The final score was St Farnan’s 2-16, Enniscrone/ Kilglass 3-10. This game saw the welcome return of our three county players to club action. St. Farnan’s led this game from start to finish and were worthy winners. We dominated the first period of the game and led by 9 points to 5 before Enniscrone scored their first goal to leave only a point between the sides
A penalty for St. Farnan’s scored by Patrick O’Connor shortly after that returned the lead to the home side. At half time we led 1-10 to 1-6.
After the break three unanswered points increased the lead to seven. A terrific point from Conor Gordon followed by a second goal for Patrick O’Connor left the score 2-15 to 1-8. Enniscrone fought to the finish picking off the final four scores including two goals for Shane Hargadon,one from a free.
St. Farnan’s will be happy with the overall team performance but will also be mindful of wasted chances in the latter half of the game.
