ENNISCRONE/KILGLASS GAA
Our intermediate team defeated Cloonacool in the final round of the league last Sunday, 3-11 to 0-6. Three points up at half time, 0-7 to 0-4, the lads powered on after the break to secure the result.
They now face into the league final next Sunday when they play Ballymote. No time or venue was available at the time of writing keep an eye out locally for details. This is a huge game for the squad and management so please get out to support the team as they try to win the title. Best of luck to everyone involved.
The under-16 team are joining with Easkey for the championship and get their campaign under way on July 31 against Ballymote/Bunninadden. St Molaise Gaels are also in the group.
Our under-14s kicked off their championship campaign with a resounding 10-13 to 3-6 win over St John’s last Friday evening. This was an excellent display which saw the team establish a 6-9 to 0-0 half-time lead, and indicates the side’s improvement as they lost heavily to the same opposition earlier this year. They will hope to continue this form against Easkey in the next round in two weeks.
Our under-12s are preparing for their semi-final against Tourlestrane on August 8 with training this week.
FUNDRAISING – An extra 10 blocks and bricks have been released due to the enormous demand for sponsorship opportunities for our indoor astroturf complex. You can find all the details on our website, or contact any committee member. Thanks to everyone for the superb support.
