Fundraising
We have been
overwhelmed with the generosity of the local community and indeed beyond in our
fundraising efforts for the new Indoor Astro Turf complex. After last week’s
collection we are at €67400 and wish to thank all of those who have donated
already for their fantastic generosity. We still require just under €10000 more
to reach our target and anyone with sponsorship this week can hand it in at
Hilltop Culleens between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Monday evening (May 22nd).
Congratulations to Chanelle Veterinary and Tommy and Rohna Battle who won the
prizes of €1000 and €500 in our donor draw last Monday evening.
Intermediate
Our
intermediate team collected an important two points in Division Three last Saturday
evening courtesy of a 1-12 to 0-9 defeat of St Mary’s at Kent Park. Travelling
with a heavily depleted squad, those given an opportunity put in a good shift
with Aaron Duffy’s first half goal the difference between the sides at the
break, 1-5 to 0-5. The lads did well to withstand St Mary’s increased pressure
in the second half to end as six-point winners. They face Cloonacool at home
next Sunday afternoon at 1pm in Quigabar – your support would be appreciated
for this fixture.
U-16
Our U-16
boys play Coolaney/Mullinabreena on Thursday evening at 7pm in Cloonacool
Community Park.
U-14
Our U-14s
had a superb one-point win over Tubbercurry/Cloonacool last Friday evening, on
a scoreline of 6-8 to 7-4 at Kilcoyne Park. The team showed tremendous resilience
to come back from the concession of early goals to end as winners in a frantic
finish. They have a play again on Monday evening, May 22nd, when
they host St John’s from 7pm.
Fundraiser
With our
U-14s travelling to represent their club and county in Feile Peil na nOg in Co
Cavan at the end of June, a fundraiser will take place on Sunday June 4th
in the Diamond Coast Hotel with Declan Nerney. Tickets are available locally.
Please support this as this talented outfit go to represent the parish on the
national stage.
Connacht SFC
Commiserations
to both Sligo teams on their losses to Mayo at McHale Park last Sunday
afternoon. Eoin Hallinan lined out at centre half back for the U-17 side.
Blotto
There was no
winner of last weekend’s blotto jackpot. Next Saturday’s jackpot is €8100. Your
continued support is greatly appreciated.
