ENNISCRONE-KILGLASS GAA
Our intermediate team played out a 0-11 apiece draw with neighbours Castleconnor at Quigabar last Saturday evening in round six of the Division Two league. In blustery conditions, the visitors led 0-9 to 0-3 at halftime but an improved second half showing backed by the wind helped our lads retrieve the situation, though some very wasteful shooting did not help our cause. Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Keith Mullaney, who sustained a foot injury in the first half.
The Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey minors received a walkover from Owenmore Gaels in the league last Friday evening.
