ENNISCRONE-KILGLASS GAA
The Enniscrone-Kilglass/ Easkey under-21 team suffered a devastating one-point defeat to Tourlestrane after extra time in last Saturdays pulsating A championship semi-final. In an absolutely absorbing contest, the sides ended level at 2-10 to 1-13 after 60 minutes, but with two minutes to play in extra time our lads held a 3-18 to 2-16 lead. However, Tourlestrane struck for two goals in the final minute to win out by a point in a remarkable finish. This was a heartbreaking end for the west Sligo boys and a cruel way to see their championship hopes end. Congratulations to Tourlestrane – we wish them every success in the final next weekend.
The under-16 Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey team claimed the A championship shield title last Sunday afternoon courtesy of a hard-earned one-point win over Tubbercurry/Cloonacol, 1-15 to 2-11, at Tourlestrane. In a very exciting game, the lads did just enough to claim the silverware. Well done to all the players and management on a great end to the year.
