Indoor astro turf
While the
playing area is now complete, the club needs to raise €75000 to bring our
indoor astro turf complex to completion (heating, electrics, toilets, dressing
room, kitchen, meeting room etc.). In this regard, the club will require the
generosity of the community: individuals, families and businesses, both at home
and abroad. As previously advertised, you can sponsor a brick at €100, a block
at €250 or a wall at €1500. The official launch of our fundraising efforts took
place last weekend, and there will be a draw for cash prizes of €1000 and €500
for those who donate prior to the May Bank Holiday weekend. There will be teams
in the various areas/townlands to contact to donate, and there will also be
weekly collection points held around the parish to facilitate people who wish
to donate. This week on Monday (March 27th) there will be a collection evening
in Sheridan’s Bar Kilglass from 8pm to 10pm. You can also donate online at www.enniscronekilglassgaa.com
under the Astro Turf link. Your support at this extraordinary time in the
club’s history is greatly appreciated.
Intermediate
Our
intermediate team got their year off to a winning start when they defeated
Cloonacool 1-14 to 0-3 in the opening round of the Abbott Cup at Quigabar last
Saturday evening. The lads led 1-7 to 0-2 at half time and secured the result
in the second half. Best wishes to Jason Morrison who sustained a broken elbow
after a nasty fall. The second round is due to take place next weekend versus
Tourlestrane with a time, date and venue yet to be confirmed at the time of
writing.
Minor
The
Enniscrone/Kilglass-Easkey minor team get their league campaign up and running
tomorrow evening (Monday) when they host Owenmore Gaels at 6.30pm in Quigabar.
Good luck to the team and management for the coming year.

The U-16
boys host Tourlestrane in the second round of the league on Monday week (April

last Sunday morning. Their next outing is on April 7th away to
Calry/St Joseph’s.

County scene
Well done to
Josh Ellis, Ciaran O’Dowd, Eoin Hallinan and the Sligo minor team on their third
successive win in the Connacht Minor League against Leitrim last weekend. Josh
played at corner back, while Ciaran was a second half sub. They host Mayo in round
three next Saturday evening at 4pm in Markievicz Park before the Connacht U-21
final between Sligo and Galway at 6pm. Best of luck to both teams.
Blotto
There was no
winner of last weekend’s blotto draw. The jackpot for next Saturday’s draw is
€6300. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
