Our senior men’s footballers produced an encouraging display on Saturday evening at Oxfield to draw with the league holders Tourlestrane in Division 1 on a final scoreline of 0-15 to 2-9. An injury-time point earned the visitors a share of the spoils. The seniors travel to Gurteen this Sunday afternoon to play Eastern Harps at 2pm.

Our junior men’s footballers emerged from their ‘winter hibernation’ to make a winning start to their Division 4 campaign last Sunday when they beat St Farnan’s by 4-13 to 2-4 at Oxfield.

Hard luck to Eoghan Smith and the Sligo U17 footballers who lost their opening match to Galway in this year’s Connacht minor championship. Eoghan scored 0-7 of Sligo’s tally of 0-10 last Friday.
