Shield Succes for U12s
It was a week to remember for two of our U12 football teams. The boys Division 1 side lifted the shield title in style on Friday evening at Scarden with a 0-18 to 0-9 win over Ballymote/Bunninadden in the final. It was a terrific team display, particularly in the closing quarter, which secured the win. Congrats to all the players and management members involved. Players: Brian Gilmartin, Donnchadh O’Brien, Fionn McNulty, Dylan McGee, Joe Campbell, Rían O’Callaghan, Conor Gillen, Patrick Phelan (Capt), Matthew Percy, Sean Fehrmann, Mark McDermott, Diarmuid Dunleavy, Michael Carroll, Jake Chambers, Sean McCabe, Darragh O’Flaherty. Management team: Rowan O’Callaghan, Declan Carroll, Des McGee, Declan O’Brien and Paul McDonagh.
Girls U12 footballers
The U12 girls are through to the ‘A’ championship final after a comprehensive win over Tourlestrane at Oxfield the same evening. CT Gaels will be our opponents in the county final which is scheduled for September 9th. Again, this was another impressive team performance. Our thanks to Jimmy Smith and Des Henry for their help and assistance last Friday. We wish the team, which is managed by Trevor Ferguson and Frank Moylan, every success in next month’s decider.

Junior footballers
Our junior footballers shrugged off any ‘effects’ of last Saturday’s Warriors Run and subsequent late night/early morning ‘Mayweather-McGregor’ TV viewing to record an emphatic 3-15 to 1-8 success over Coolera/Strandhill in the championship on Sunday at Oxfield. Eoin Gaughan scored 1-12 of the DRP total and the win ensures that we top Group 2 and qualify for the county semi-finals.
