D Developments-sponsored Under 14 team suffered a second defeat in the U14 B
Championship when an understrength team were defeated by Calry-St Josephs in
Stenson Park by 4-11 to1-10. The next game in this competition is away to

Our U.12
team travel to Kilcoyne Park, Tubbercurry to take on the Tubbercurry-Cloonacool
in the semi final of the Shield Competition on Tuesday August 8th at
7pm. Our U12 boys played a very useful challenge game against Boyle in Cuilbeg
last week and came out on top on a 0-16 to 0-9 scoreline after an impressive
second half performance.
Intermediate Championship
On Sat next
Aug 12 our senior team begin their campaign in the Intermediate championship
when they travel out West to St Brendan’s Park, Castleconnor to take on
Enniscrone-Kilglass in Round 1 of a 3 team group – St Patricks are the third
team. Enniscrone-Kilglass go into the game fresh from their success in the Div
3 League final but if our lads show some of the good play they are capable of
then they should be well in the game. Team manager Dara Mc Garty and his
selectors will be hopeful that some of the players who have been injured will
be able to return to strengthen the team. We wish them good luck on Saturday.
