OWENMORE GAELS

The Senior Men came up short against Coolera/ Strandhill in a sun drenched Connolly Park on Saturday evening, March 25, last. 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.

Congratulations to Brian Mahon and the Sligo under- 21 team who advanced to the Connacht final after defeating Roscommon in Kiltoom recently. Best of luck in the final.
