Our under 16
footballers welcome Castleconnor to Stenson Park, Cuilbeg this Monday evening
for their Round 2 Championship game at 7.00 .Having drawn with Shamrock Gaels
in Coola in the last round our boys will be keen to get back on the winning
trail.
Minor Championship
Our minor
team, due to the unavailability of players were unable to fulfil their fixture
against Coolera-Strandhill last week and had to concede to their opponents. We
hope for better luck on Aug 24th when they are at home to Geevagh/St Michaels
in Round 2 and on Sept 15th when they play St Patricks in Dromard.
Under 14 Championship
Our K &
D Developments-sponsored Under 14 team play the final game in their group when
they travel to Easkey to take on the home team on next Friday Aug 18th.
Under 12 Boys
Our U.12
team travelled to Kilcoyne Park, Tubbercurry to take on the
Tubbercurry-Cloonacool in the semi final of the Shield Competition on Tuesday
last and put on a fine performance before going down narrowly to the home team
in a very exciting game. It is great to see the way these players have improved
since the start of the year and a big thanks is due to the coaches who have
worked so hard and also to the parents for all their help and encouragement
Intermediate Championship
On Sat next
Aug 12 our senior team began their campaign in the Intermediate championship on
Sat evening last when they travelled out West to St Brendan’s Park,
Castleconnor to take on Enniscrone-Kilglass who were fresh from their Div 3
League winning success. The St Johns team got off to a great start and by have
time they had built up a commanding lead of 1-13 to 0-6. During the first 10
mins of the second half they added a further 1-4 without reply but then for
some reason they seemed to switch off and failed to add another score for the
final 20 mins while their opponents clocked up a further 1-8 to leave the final
score at St Johns 2-17 to Enniscrone/Kilglass 1-14. St Johns next fixture in
this group is on Sept 2nd against St Patricks. St Johns lineout on
Sat was N O’Donnell; A Clerkin, E Roche, N Hayes; O Cox(0-1), P Mc Namara,N
Walsh(0-1); J Murphy, D Rooney(0-1); M Rooney, B Mc Gowan(0-4), D Smith; A
Keane(1-8), R Mc Manus(1-0), F Grennan(0-2); C Mc Govern, D Burke,S Kilcawley,
R Fahy, C Jordan, T Kelly, C Hough, J Gethins,A Kerr.
Under 12 Girls
Our u.12
girls team completed their championship campaign when they took on near
neighbours St Marys in a highly entertaining contest. Our girls played great
football for long periods but ran out of steam in the final quarter with the
home team running out victors by 4 points.
Under 10 Girls
Our Under 10
girls team took part in a very successful Blitz competition in Tubbercurry on
Sat last and had a fine day winning four of their 5 games and only going down
by a point in their 5th game. This group of players have shown great
potential and have improved greatly since the start of the season. If their
rate of progress can be maintained a bright future is in store for girls
football in our club. This is largely due to the time and commitment given by
their coaches and for this we owe them a great debt of gratitude
