St. Patricks Club notes Monday 16th Sept

The u13 boys had a comprehensive 5-10 to 1-05 win over Molaise Gaels in the u13C plate semi-final held in Seamie Donegan Park on Monday evening the 9th. A very physical encounter but the Pat's lads led from the start and pushed on to seal the win. They play Easkey in the final this Wednesday so best of luck to players and management.

The u13 girls of Farnans/Pats started off their autumn league with a 2-19 to 2-10 win. The girls put on a serious show of brilliant football and now get ready to play Geevagh/ St Michael's away this Tuesday.

The u15 boys played their semi-final of the championship away to Curry Tuesday last. The boys came up against a very strong Curry side on the night and missed out on a place in the final. Well done to players and management on a fantastic season.

Our Junior mens team played at home to Owenmore Gaels this week for round 3 of championship Friday last. Unfortunately, they lost out to the travelling side on this occasion marking the end of their championship journey this year. Well done on a tough season.

The junior ladies continued their championship against CT Gaels on Saturday evening last in damp conditions in Seamie Donegan Memorial Park. A highly entertaining contest which saw some fabulous scoring from both teams. Unfortunately, the pats ladies came up short and lost out by 2 points. The ladies are out again this Saturday away to Tourlestrane.

The intermediate men were back in championship action on Sunday against Coolaney/Mullinabreena in St Brendans park in Castleconnor. A very tight encounter in which scores were hard to come by. The lads lost out by a single score. They look forward to the final group game of the intermediate championship against Eastern Harps in two weeks time with progression from group stages still a possibility.

Well done to Alex McElhinney and his teammates in Coolera/Strandhill on their victory in the u13 hurling final against Easkey this weekend.

St. Patricks Club notes Monday 26th Aug

Last Monday saw our u13 boys play their last championship group game, they lost out in the last minute with the final score of the game resulting in a goal for St. Mary's. They now wait to see how their opposition perform this week and find out if they might still be in with a chance to reach a semifinal. Well done on a great season to players and management.

Our u15 boys team played their last round of championship this week with a strong win over Enniscrone/Kilglass, final score 6-6 to 1-7. The two teams have progressed to a quarter final against each other September 3rd, best of luck to both teams.

Well done to our u17 boys team who had a great round 2 win over Coolaney/Mullinabreena 2-15 to 4-5. They take on Owenmore Gaels this Wednesday at home at 7pm.

Our u18 girls hosted a great win over Calry/St. Joseph's on Wednesday evening. Despite tough weather conditions the girls dug deep and maintained an impressive lead throughout. The girls play their next two games on the 2nd and 4th September away to St. Molaise Gaels and then St. John's.

The senior men's Intermediate championship got off to a tough start with a narrow loss to St. Farnan's last weekend. This week saw a turn in their luck with a 1-8 to 0-8 victory over Enniscrone. It was all tied at half time with 3 points each, the lads maintained a two point lead throughout the second half until the final minutes of the game where it was tied again at 8 points a piece but a goal in the final moments secured the win for Pat's. The lads have a two week break until their next game against Coolaney/Mullinabreena Sunday 15th September.

The ladies team started their championship last weekend but unfortunately it wasn't a great start for the girls with a loss away to St. Mary's Saturday evening. The ladies try again this Saturday for round 2 away to Drumcliffe/Rosses Point at 7pm.
