ENNISCRONE/KILGLASS GAA

Our intermediate team beat Castleconnor 2-16 to 2-14 in the final round of the Benson Cup last Sunday afternoon at Corballa. Having established a 2-7 to 0-5 interval advantage, the lads will be disappointed with their second half display. They finish the campaign with three wins and a draw from four games but miss out on a place in the final on score difference. Next Sunday, the lads return to league action with a home fixture against Bunninadden at 2 p.m. in Quigabar. Please support if possible.

Well done to all club players on completing the state examinations last week.

Our under-14s are currently preparing for their shield quarter-final against Easkey on July 5

Our under-12s put in a determined display to defeat St Patrick’s last Tuesday at Quigabar, 0-10 to 0-5. In awful weather conditions, both teams served up and interesting contest. Well done, lads.

County scene – Commiserations to Michael Duffy, Gavin Duffy, Dara Rouse, Adam Mullaney and the Sligo minors on their loss to Mayo last weekend, and to the county’s senior footballers on their loss to Armagh. Congratulations to the team and management of the Sligo senior hurlers on their superb success in the Lory Meagher Cup final at Croke Park last Saturday.
