Club Summer Camp
Following the success of
the GAA Cúl Camp our own club Summer Camp sponsored by New Ireland
Assurance will be held at Ransboro from August 8th-11th for all 6-12 year olds. Further details and
bookings can be got from Tommy Cradock on
0877866845.
Under 12 Girls
The under 12 girls suffered
defeat away to a very strong Tourlestrane team last Friday. A slow start left
the girls trailing by 3-05 to 1-00 at the end of the first quarter, and despite
putting in three strong quarters this was to prove too big a deficit to claw
back. 3-03 from Alana Wilson, 2-01 from Orna Murphy and a Nessa O’ Sullivan
point saw the full time score at 8-07 to 5-05 in favour of the home side. Although
this was a stern test for our girls there were many positives to be taken from
the evening, not least of which were the brilliant defensive displays of
Mary-Kate McPartland and Lisa Kilfeather, who were well supported by Lulu
Mooney. Nessa O’ Sullivan and Orna Murphy worked tirelessly in midfield. The
accuracy of Alana Wilson kept the girls in contention throughout, and she had
plenty of help from Ellen Walsh, Úna Griffin and Orlaith Beirne. The girls play
Shamrock Gaels in Ransboro Pk on Friday evening in the third round. Team; Áine
Morahan, Anna McDaniel, Laoise McKenna, Lulu Mooney, Mary-Kate McPartland, Lisa
Kilfeather, Orna Murphy, Nessa O’ Sullivan, Orlaith Beirne, Alana Wilson, Ellen
Walsh, Clodagh Martyn, Úna Griffin, Lauren Healy, Ava Griffin, Bronagh Cusack,
Grace Bailey.
Senior League
The senior footballers
continued their good run of form in the league with a one-sided victory over
Castleconnor. In a good team display our boys ran out 6-14 to 1-08 winners.
Junior Girls make winning championship start
Our junior girls’ team made
their championship debut with a home fixture against last year’s beaten
finalists Shamrock Gaels on Sunday morning. After a close first half which had
the visitors leading 2-05 to 1-05, the girls put in a very impressive second
half, scoring 1-14 to win 2-19 to 2-05. In a whole team effort, there were very
impressive displays in attack from Laura-Ann Laffey, who accounted for 0-09,
Attracta Halloran (0-03), Ciara Healy (0-02), Pamela Higgins (1-01) and Ellen
Given who scored two long range second-half points in her junior debut. Ciara
Redmond (1-01) and Ruth Goodwin were prominent in midfield, while Jacqui
Mulligan (0-01) marshalled the defence, well supported in particular by Jessica
Halloran and Aislinn Doggett. The girls travel to Curry next Sunday for the
second round. Team; Sarah Lindsay, Aislinn Doggett, Kaela Kerrigan, Cara
Gilligan, Jessica Halloran, Jacqui Mulligan, Laura Joyce, Ruth Goodwin, Ciara
Redmond, Attracta Halloran, Laura-Ann Laffey, Ellen Given, Ciara Healy, Pamela
Higgins (Claire Stenson), Eimear McCallion (Eimear Joyce)
Senior Hurling
Following on from a good win
over Cluainín Iomaint in the Dermot Molloy League, winning 4-15 to 2-13, the
senior hurlers had an away tie with Western Gaels on Saturday evening in the
championship. The home side proved too strong and ran out 1-21 2-05 winners.
