Enniscrone/Kilglass GAA notes 16th June 2019

Intermediate

Our Intermediate team suffered a 2-12 to 0-13 defeat at the hands of Calry/St Joseph’s at Hazelwood on Sunday morning last in the Division Two league. This was a disappointing outcome, particularly after an excellent start to the game saw the lads lead 0-4 to 0-0 after just five minutes. The sides were level at half time, 1-7 to 0-10, and there was very little in the second half but a late Calry/St Joseph’s goal before the game entered injury-time settled the contest. Best wishes to Rian Grimes who sustained a foot injury early in the game. Our lads have three weeks to prepare for another important game against St Patrick’s on the weekend of July 6^th/7^thin the penultimate round of the league.

Junior B

Our Junior B team host Castleconnor next Friday evening at 8pm in Quigabar.

U-14

The Feile Peil na nOg takes place on the weekend after next. As a host club, we are looking forward to welcoming St Manchan’s of Offaly to the parish for a couple of days. This is always a wonderful event and focusses on all that is good about the GAA. There will be games on the Friday and Saturday (June 28^thand June 29^th) at Quigabar, plus some social events. More details will be in next week’s notes, and on our social media platforms over the coming week.

U-12

Well done to our U-12 footballers on their 0-14 to 0-4 win over St Patrick’s in Dromard last week. Their next fixture is next Tuesday at home to Castleconnor at 7pm.

Nursery

Our Under 6 GAA nursery program continues every Monday 6.15pm to 7pm at indoor Astro turf in Quigabar. This is for boys and girls born in 2013 & 2014. Kids are asked to wear appropriate gear and bring bottle of water. All welcome. 5-6 hours5-6 hours

County scene

A goal from the boot of Oisin Hynes and three points from Gavin Duffy helped Michael Duffy’s Sligo minor charges to a second successive win in the Connacht Minor Championship last Friday – they beat Leitrim 1-20 to 1-9 at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada in Carrick on Shannon. They take on Roscommon next Friday evening in Markievicz Park at 7.30pm. Best wishes lads. Commiserations to Eoin Hallinan, Josh Ellis and the Sligo U-20s on their Philly McGuinness Cup final loss to Tyrone on Saturday last. And finally, best wishes to the Sligo Senior hurlers in the Nicky Rackard Cup final next Saturday against Armagh in Croke Park, and to the Sligo Senior footballers versus Offaly in the qualifiers next Sunday in Tullamore.

Blotto

The blotto draw continues every Saturday night. There was no winner of last week’s jackpot, so next week’s draw will be for €4200. Thanks to all players for the continued support.
