Congratulations to Colaiste Iascaigh boy’s football team on
winning the Sligo/Leitrim 1st and 2nd year competition.
The boys won a hard fought battle against Ballinamore Community School in Sligo
G.A.A. centre of excellence, Scarden last Monday by a scoreline of 5-6 to 2-11. A fantastic individual goal by
Eoin Gordan in the dying minutes proved the difference between the teams in a
tightly contested match. Colaiste Iascaigh started well with a goal and two
points in the early minutes but a resilient Ballinamore fought back with some
excellent long distance points and at the interval Colaiste Iascaigh led
by just 3 points. Colaiste Iascaigh got
a dream start to the second half with an early goal but again Ballinamore
fought their way back into game and would have taken the lead with ten minutes
remaining only for an outstanding block by Shane Molloy to a shot that was
heading for the back of the net. Colaiste Iascaigh grabbed the decisive goal
two minutes from the end to cap off a great win and end the year on a high
note.
