ENNISCRONE/ KILGLASS GAA

The Enniscrone- Kilglass/ Easkey minor team got their first win of the Division One campaign with a 1- 14 to 0- 8 defeat of Tubbercurry/ Cloonacool last Thursday evening. This was a decent display from the lads with Conal Duffy’s late goal applying to gloss to a solid performance. They play St Molaise Gaels this Thursday evening keep an eye out locally for details.

Our under- 16 boys suffered a 3- 16 to 0- 9 defeat against St Farnan’s/ St Pat’s last Monday evening. Training continues this week. Our under- 14s play Tourlestrane next Friday evening at 7 p. m. at home.

Our under- 12 boys had a fantastic day out at Croke Park last Wednesday as they took part in a blitz organised by Connacht GAA. All players acquitted themselves very well on the day with plenty of parents there to cheer them on. Well done to the squad and management on representing the club so well on the hallowed turf. Thanks to Ridgepool Fuels for their sponsorship of tops for the big day. The boys return to domestic duty this Tuesday evening when they play Eastern Harps in the league at 7 p. m. in Keash.
