ST MICHAEL’S

LAST Wednesday our minors kept their 100% record intact with a convincing win over neighbours Shamrock Gaels. A goal in the dying minutes for the Gaels meant that there was an anxious finish to the game. There was great support for these two teams with parking stretching beyond PJ Linnane Park grounds. We will be anticipating another strong display on Wednesday away to Curry. ON the same evening our U12 girls travelled in the opposite direction to play the Gaels. We were up against a very strong team and lost with the final score being 24 scores to 8. Best for us was Aoibhe Halpin in the middle of the park, with another strong performance from Ava McGoldrick in front of goal. This young team’s skills are growing week by week as was typified by some nice moves by Kitija Vietniece.

THE same team were also in action away to Owenmore Gaels on Friday evening. Thanks to the high scoring by Ava McGoldrick and the high fielding display by Emma McDermott, we got back to winning ways. This team will be facing possibly their toughest assignment on Friday at home to Eastern Harps at 19:00. ON Thursday our U16 girls travelled to Curry. Prior to kick-off, all observed a minute silence as a mark of respect for the passing of Dominic Quinn. When the game started, Curry took an early lead by scoring 2-1 in the first few minutes, and never looked back. Our girls did have a resurgence in the second half, but not enough to have an impact on the result. Good for St. Michaels were Emma Hynes and Kayla McGowan.

U10 and U8 training continues every Saturday morning from 10:00 to 11:00. Numbers are increasing at this every week, and even though we have only returned from lock-down a few short weeks ago, there is already a marked improvement in their skills and confidence. SUNDAY morning again saw a packed P.J. Linnane Park where St. Michael’s Senior Ladies hosted St. Mary’s. The St. Mary’s team, which was bolstered by players from at least two other clubs, were too strong for our ladies in the opening half, and some early goals left it very difficult to come back. The second half was a different story with our ladies showing much more determination in those 50/50 encounters. Ten minutes from the final whistle we had brought the deficit down to just 2 scores, but that was as close as we could get. Our Ladies must be commended for a fine display of determination and skill, and they will surely have a large contingent of supporters for this week’s trip to Tourlestrane Sunday 16th at 10:30. ON Sunday evening our U14 girls travelled to Geevagh where an evenly matched contest was served up. The first two minutes say the home side score two goals and a point without reply. However, St. Michaels worked their way back into the game, and early in the final quarter were a point ahead. This lead was not held for long and the hosts won out by a margin of 5 points.

SENIOR Footballers

OUR intermediate footballers remain unbeaten after a 12 point win over St Michaels in the 3rd round of the intermediate championship. After trailing early, we responded with 4 quick points to move onto a 0-4 to 0-2 lead, but conceded a goal soon after. Easkey responded well with some nice scores from play from Joe McHugh, Daniel Rolston and Jack Scott which left Easkey leading at the break 0-08 to 1-02. After a tight opening to the 2nd half, Easkey finished strongly with some fine points and a goal from Joe McHugh after some good work from his brother Rory, leaving the final score 1-16 to 1-04 EASKEY Team; S. Kilgannon, I.Barrett, N,McGuire, B.Feeney, N.Kilcullen, R.McHugh(0-01), J.Lindsay (0-01), E.Mullen (0-01), M.Gordon (0-02 1f), D.Rolston (0-01) J.McHugh ( 1-08, 3f), J.Feeney, K. Duffy, J.Scott (0-01), E.R.McGowan.

SUBS used-: K.Duffy 0-1, E.Moylan, H.Gilroy, J.Dunphy, C. Montague U16 Football EASKEY/ST Farnan’s U16s footballers suffered their first defeat to a strong Ballymote/Bunninadden team on Friday evening in Easkey. Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, Easkey/St Farnan’s started slowly going in at half time with a deficit of 2-13 to 0-4. A strong 2nd half say Easkey/St Farnans storm back into the game but unfortunately just found the 1st half deficit too much to overcome, losing out on a final scoreline of 2-11 to 2-16. Despite the loss they are very much in the mix with 2 rounds remaining in the group stage. Their next game is an away fixture against St John’s this Friday at 6.30pm in Stenson Park U14 Football EASKEY/ST Farnans u14 football team begin their championship this week with an away fixture against ST Patrick’s in Skreen on Thursday evening at 6.30pm SENIOR Hurling

ON Saturday our senior team play Naomh Eoin in their opening round of the senior hurling championship. This game is in Kent Park at 7pm. UNDERAGE Hurling

OUR u8 and u10 hurling teams enjoyed a great night’s hurling on Friday last in Scarden playing a number of games. Martin Fogarty from Kilkenny was the guest at the event and had great words of encouragement for the players. Well done to Darragh Cox for organising the blitz. Great to have games for this age group. OUR u14 team were defeated by a very strong Western Gaels team on Thursday last in Easkey. On Tuesday our u12 team play Coolera/ Strandhill.

ENNISCRONE/KILGLASS

INTERMEDIATE

OUR Intermediate footballers suffered a disappointing 2-18 to 2-9 loss against St Molaise Gaels in the championship last Sunday. After a slow start our lads worked their way back into contention and had the chances to hit the front in the third quarter. Two St Molaise Gaels goals in the final ten minutes put the result beyond doubt, despite our lads enjoying a numerical advantage. They will regroup and build for their important final group game against Ballymote on Sunday, August 23rd at 1pm in Tourlestrane.

JUNIOR B

OUR Junior B footballers produced an impressive display to beat Geevagh by 4-10 to 0-6 in Geevagh in their opening championship game of 2020 on Saturday evening last. They have next weekend off, before hosting Drumcliffe/Rosses Point in round two on Saturday week. MINOR

THE Enniscrone/Kilglass/St Patrick’s minors suffered their first defeat of the campaign last Wednesday when Ballymote/Bunninadden emerged as 1-15 to 1-9 winners at Corran Park.

OUR Junior Ladies travelled to Dromard in round 2 of the Sligo Connacht Gold Championship. They came out easy winners to keep up their 100% start. It finished 3-17 to 2-9.

DRUMCLIFFE/RP

OUR senior men’s footballers remain firmly in contention for a place in the knockout stages of this year’s Sligo senior football championship after an impressive 2-13 to 0-10 success against St Mary’s in Group 1 at Markievicz Park on Saturday evening. Paul Logan scored 1-8 as the team chalked up a deserved victory. Their final group match is against Eastern Harps in three weeks time.

Jim won the Sam Maguire with Cavan in 1952 among many other football accolades, including a Connacht junior football championship winners medal with Sligo in the fifties. You can read a full tribute to him on the club’s website and Facebook page. The club extends its deepest sympathy to Jim’s wife Kay and the McCabe family. THE boys minor footballers made it three wins out of three in the minor ‘B’ championship on Wednesday night with a 7-15 to 2-8 win against Tourlestrane. THERE was another impressive victory for the girls minor footballers too - in the ‘A’ championship as they beat Calry/St Joseph’s 4-11 to 0-12 at Oxfield on Tuesday night. HARD luck to our boys under-16 footballers who lost out to St Mary’s in their latest championship game on Friday evening, on a final scoreline of DRP 3-7 St Mary’s 7-10.
