ENNISCRONE/ KILGLASS
WE have been overwhelmed with the generosity of the local community and indeed beyond in our fundraising efforts for the new Indoor Astro Turf complex. After last week’s collection we are at € 70200 and wish to thank all of those who have donated already for their fantastic generosity. We still require € 5000 more to hit our target, and anyone who wishes to sponsor a block or a brick can visit our website or contact any committee member. OUR intermediate team had a 2- 18 to 0- 8 win over Shamrock Gaels at Coola last Saturday evening. Despite fielding a weakened line- out due to a number of absences, this was an effective display with the second half an improvement on the first half where numerous chances were squandered. Next Sunday afternoon, the lads face an important trip to Corran Park to take on Ballymote at 1pm. Please support. BEST wishes to all club players sitting state examinations over the next couple of weeks. Training continues for all minors and U- 16s who are free of exam commitments. OUR U- 14 boys play their final league game on Thursday evening at 7pm
against Eastern Harps in Keash. OUR U- 13s had a fantastic weekend as they participated in the Govan Jolliffe Byrne tournament hosted by the Naomh Mearnog club in Portmarnock, Dublin. The lads played very well in their games against St Peter’s, Na Fianna and Naomh Mearnog, and camped out on Saturday night at the GAA grounds. It was a great experience for this talented squad to get game time against such illustrious opposition and will undoubtedly help their development going forward. Thanks to all management and parents that travelled to the capital for the weekend to support. Many of the squad will be on the road again in three weeks for the Feile Peil na nÓg in Cavan. OUR U- 12s secured their fifth successive win when they accounted for Easkey at Quigabar last Tuesday on a scoreline of 0- 26 to 0- 14. This result means the lads topped their Division Two group and qualified for the Cup knockout stages, where they will meet Tourlestrane, Curry and St Patrick’s in the coming weeks. Well done to everyone involved on achieving qualification with an unblemished record. Training continues this week. QUIGABAR hosted the Sligo U- 15s challenge game against a Mayo Divisional selection last Friday evening with the home side securing a facile 3- 20 to 0- 2 win. Gavin Duffy was scorer in chief for the winners at full forward, while Oisin Hynes impressed at wing back. Michael Duffy is manager of the squad. WE will once again be hosting a bonfire night event at Sheridan’s Kilglass on June 23rd this year. Due to the extraordinary generosity of the local community in our recent fundraising efforts, the night is free of charge with bouncy castles and a barbeque on the night. It all kicks off at 8.30pm – everyone welcome. THERE was no winner of last weekend’s blotto jackpot. Next Saturday’s jackpot is € 8300. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
