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 €70200 and wish to thank all of those who have donated
already for their fantastic generosity. We still require €5000 more to hit our
target, and anyone who wishes to sponsor a block or a brick can visit our
website or contact any committee member.
Intermediate
Our
intermediate team had a comfortable 5-14 to 0-7 win over Easkey at Quigabar
last Friday evening. Once again the squad was severely depleted but those
present did enough to leave with the two points. Next Sunday evening the team
host Tourlestrane in Quigabar from 5.30pm in a must-win encounter. Your support
would be appreciated.
Minor/U16
Continued
good wishes to all club players sitting state examinations over the next couple
of weeks. Training continues for all minors and U-16s who are free of exam
commitments.
U-14
Our U-14
boys play in the Division Two shield semi-final on Monday evening when they
travel to Coola to play Shamrock Gaels from 7pm. Best of luck to the players
and management.
U-12
Our U-12s
had a terrific 0-21 to 0-11 win over Tourlestrane last Wednesday evening. This
is the team’s sixth win in succession and this was another impressive display
away from home. They have a break this week before they host Curry on Tuesday
week (June 27th).
Bonfire Night
We will once
again be hosting a bonfire night event at Sheridan’s Kilglass on June 23rd
this year. Due to the extraordinary generosity of the local community in our
recent fundraising efforts, the night is free of charge with bouncy castles and
a barbeque on the night. It all kicks off at 8.30pm – everyone welcome.
Congrats
Congratulations
to the Kilglass NS Girls team on claiming the 4-teacher school county title
last Sunday afternoon in Markievicz Park. This was a very impressive result and
a great achievement; well to all the players, mentors and parents.
County Scene
Well done to
Sligo on their 0-22 to 3-7 defeat of Antrim in round 1A of the qualifiers last
Saturday evening. Commiserations to Michael Moyles and the Leitrim Senior
footballers on their loss to Roscommon in the Connacht Championship last
Sunday.
Blotto
There was no
winner of last weekend’s blotto jackpot. Next Saturday’s jackpot is €8700. Your
continued support is greatly appreciated.
