Under 13 Féile
Our u13 Feile Team had a deserved win over
Ballymote/Bunninadden in Corran Park on Sunday. A vocal travelling support saw
Andrew Lynch find the net in the first minute after a powerful run by Ciaran
Langan. The Strandhill native then goaled himself, followed by fine scores from
Luke Mc Ternan, Donnacha Beirne, Oisin O Neill and Mark McDaniel. Jamie
Kilfeather had provided a couple of good assists when he too scored to leave
his side leading by four goals going into the interval.
The strong breeze favoured Ballymote in the
second half but an industrious performance saw the west Sligo side again
outscore their rivals. Oisin O Neill was on the mark, quickly followed by a
Ross Doherty penalty and fine work by Alfie McDermott set up Mark McDaniel for
the final score.
The backs in particular performed well as a unit
with Owen Mc Kirdy,Tadgh Doggett, Sergei Donaghue and Rory Kinane coming in for
special mention.
Next up is an away semi-final with Castleconnor
next Sunday.

Minor Semi-Final
There was disappointment for our minors on Friday evening
when they were defeated by St. Farnan’s on a score of 1-15 to 2-11. First to
settle the boys were on the scoreboard with an early goal from Kieran Prior,
who added four points before half time. There were first half points too from
Tristan Gilligan and Leo Doherty, as well as a second goal from Caleym Malone
leaving the boys ahead by two points at half time. St. Farnan’s however were
stronger in the second half, and cut the deficit. A tense final fifteen minutes
saw the teams exchange points but unfortunately it was to be St. Farnan’s who
prevailed.
Under 14 Girls
Our under 14 girls were unfortunate to lose out in the
championship final last Saturday when they were defeated by St. Nathy’s 5-05 to
2-10. The girls dominated the early stages of the match and stormed into the
lead, with points from Amy Hampson, Amy Deering, Anna Callaghan, Shona Dalton
and Cliodhna O’ Sullivan added to a Beibhinn Harte goal. Despite a creditable
tally of 1-08 in the first half, the concession of goals was to be their
downfall, and they trailed by a single point at half time. The second half
turned out to be a frustrating affair, where possession wasn’t converted into
scores. 1-01 from Shona Dalton and a Keri Mitchell point were to be the only
scores in the period, where injuries to key players Beibhinn Harte, Amy Hampson
and Cliodhna O’ Sullivan were also to prove critical. To their credit, the
girls battled to the very end, but it wasn’t to be their day. Team; Keri
Mitchell (0-01), Grace Molloy, Ciara Lindsay (Mary-Kate McPartland), Cliodhna
Davitt, Beibhinn Harte (1-00) Holly Gilligan, Amy Deering (0-01), Cliodhna O’
Sullivan (0-01), Shona Dalton (1-03), Amy Hampson (0-03) (Ciara Lindsay), Nessa O’ Sullivan, Anna Callaghan (0-01) ,
Enya Hughes (Aoife Gormley), Emma O’ Loughlin, Clodagh Martyn.
Junior B Semi-Final
Our junior footballers made their exit from the championship
at the semi-final stage when they were beaten by St. Molaise Gaels 2-12 to
1-11. They never really recovered from the concession of an early goal and
trailed by five points at half time. A Luke Comerford goal early in the second
half brought us right back into the tie, but some good long range points from
Molaise kept them ahead. Indeed, Coolera had goalkeeper Colm Scanlon to thank
for two excellent saves, but he could do nothing about a penalty award late in
the game that made the game safe for the North Sligo side. Team; Colm Scanlon
Fionn Morrissey, Diarmuid Loftus, Luke Comerford, Paddy Gillen, Ronan Redmond,
Larry Cadden, David Kilrehill, Ryan McEnroe, David Joyce, John Kilrehill, Seán
Callaghan, Eoin Macken, Adam Kerrigan, David Parke, Alan Scanlon.
Connacht Semi-final
