ENNISCRONE/KILGLASSS GAA

Our intermediate team collected the two league points on offer at Quigabar last Sunday when they beat Bunninadden, 1-9 to 0-6. In an uninspiring contest, our lads dominated the exchanges throughout but failed to capitalize on having the lions’ share of possession. 0-4 to 0-2 ahead at the break having played into a strong breeze in the first half, the lads only pulled away with a goal 10 minutes from time. They have a break in action next weekend.

The Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey under-16s have finished top of Division Two and will contest the knockout stages in the coming weeks.

Our under-14s take on Easkey on Thursday evening in Easkey from 7 p.m.

Our under-12s were beaten by Geevagh last Sunday, 0-34 to 0-4. The lads will regroup before their next outing against Curry on July 10.

County scene – Commiserations to Michael Duffy, Gavin Duffy, Dara Rouse, Adam Mullaney and the Sligo minors on their loss to Leitrim.
