New Year Greetings

The club extends a very Happy New Year to all of our players, members, supporters and sponsors. May 2018 be a successful year for the club. Thanks to everyone at home and abroad for the remarkable support we received in 2017, particularly during our fundraising efforts for the indoor astro-turf complex which exceeded all expectations.
Married vs Singles
We had a tremendous turnout for our annual Married vs Singles Charity match in Quigabar last Wednesday. In what was a first for the club, the Enniscrone/Kilglass Gaelic for Mothers and Others group played in the curtain-raiser in what was their first outing on the pitch. Afterwards, the Married men took the spoils once again over the Singles team. Thanks to everyone who came out to support. All funds raised will go towards the Moy Search and Rescue, and the Civil Defence.
Underage presentation
Our thanks to Sligo footballer Niall Murphy for attending our underage presentation after our Charity match last Wednesday. Congratulations to our 2016 U-13 and U-14 teams, as well as our 2017 U-12s on their achievements.

Congratulations to our Intermediate team on finishing the year on a positive note after claiming the Abbott Cup last Saturday afternoon in Tourlestrane, courtesy of a hard-fought 0-9 to 1-4 win over the home side.

U-21

The Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey U-21 team suffered a devastating one-point defeat to Tourlestrane after extra time in last Saturday’s pulsating A Championship semi-final. In an absolutely absorbing contest, the sides ended level at 2-10 to 1-13 after 60 minutes, but with two minutes to play in extra time our lads held a 3-18 to 2-16 lead. However, Tourlestrane struck for two goals in the final minute to win out by a point in a remarkable finish. This was a heartbreaking end for the west Sligo boys and a cruel way to see their championship hopes end. Congratulations to Tourlestrane - we wish them every success in the final next weekend.
U-16
The U-16 Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey team claimed the A Championship shield title last Sunday afternoon courtesy of a hard-earned one-point win over Tubbercurry/Cloonacool, 1-15 to 2-11, at Tourlestrane. In a very exciting game, the lads did just enough to claim the silverware. Well done to all the players and management on a great end to the year.

Enniscrone/Kilglass GAA notes 10th September 2017
Intermediate

Our intermediate team saw their championship hopes end on Sunday afternoon at Markievicz Park at the quarter final stage, with Geevagh emerging as 3-14 to 2-10 winners. The team will rue the concession of three very poor goals over the course of the hour, and a dreadful start where Geevagh racked up 2-3 in the opening ten minutes. To their credit, our lads closed the gap to five points in the closing stages but Geevagh ran out deserved winners. It was a very disappointing way for the campaign to end and it is a case of what might have been once again, but the lads worked hard until the end. With their championship involvement now complete, the team awaits confirmation of their Abbott Cup semi-final fixture. Thanks to the large travelling support for making their way to Sligo in terrible conditions last Sunday.

The lads did well in the second period in particular, having trailed by 0-10 to 1-6 at the interval.

Intermediate
Our intermediate team secured a vital win in the Intermediate Championship last Saturday evening when they defeated St Patrick’s by two points, 0-15 to 0-13, in their final group three game. This was an impressive display for the most part, particularly in the first half where the team established a 0-11 to 0-5 half-time lead. Despite losing their way for a time in the second half, they continued to battle and secured a deserved win. Progression to the knockout stages now hinges on the outcome of the final group game between St Patrick’s and St John’s in two weeks’ time, with a St John’s win ensuring our place in the quarter-finals. The team continue training this week with an Abbott Cup fixture to look forward to on Friday week against Tourlestrane.
Junior B
On Sunday morning last we had the welcome return of our Junior B team to championship action. Despite a 1-17 to 0-6 loss away to St Molaise Gaels, it was great to see several faces return to don the black and amber for the first time in a while.

Enniscrone/Kilglass GAA notes 13th August 2017
Intermediate
Our intermediate team were beaten in the opening round of the championship by St John’s, 2-17 to 1-14, in an entertaining contest at Corballa last Saturday evening. As in the weeks previous, the lads put in a very poor first half display and trailed 2-14 to 0-5 after 35 minutes, but burst into life in the closing stages to close the deficit. Indeed, with more time the lads could have snatched a result. Despite the defeat, they will take encouragement from their spirited comeback and will look to improve for next Saturday’s vital meeting with St Patrick’s at the same venue. Throw in is at 7pm on Saturday evening – your support would be greatly appreciated.

Intermediate
Our intermediate team will have to do it all again in the Division Three league final after they showed tremendous spirit to claw back a seven-point deficit to salvage a draw at Tourlestrane last Sunday against Ballymote. Trailing 2-4 to 0-5 at half-time, the lads went 2-6 to 0-5 points down before launching a great in the closing stages with Donal Mullaney’s goal the key score to securing a 1-9 to 2-6 draw. Indeed, the lads could have snatched having kicked some poor wides throughout the game but nonetheless, they will be delighted to get another chance after a poor display overall. Details of the replay at the time of writing were yet to be decided but when fixed your support would be greatly appreciated. A word of thanks to the Tourlestrane GAA club for having the pitch in fine condition and for the post-match refreshments.

Minor
The Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey minor team had suffered a disappointing loss to Owenmore Gaels at Connolly Park last Thursday evening in the Division One Shield semi-final.

Our intermediate team suffered a setback to their promotion ambitions last Sunday when they slumped to a 3-14 to 0-8 defeat to Ballymote at Corran Park in the league. Having played into the breeze in the first half, our lads performed relatively well and trailed 0-8 to 0-3 at half-time, but the loss of a number of players and a poor second half performance led to a heavy defeat.

FBD League
Thanks to all club members who ensured the smooth running of last Sunday’s FBD League fixture between Sligo and Galway at Quigabar. A large crowd watched the Tribesmen claim a 0-13 to 0-10 win in the first competitive game of 2017. Great credit is due to Joe Cawley and his team of stewards for their very effective handling of the day, as well as those who helped with refreshments and preparation of the pitch.
Astro Turf development
The astro turf development is coming along very well at Quigabar with the roof set to be in place soon, and the playing area complete in a number of weeks. The development gained much attention during last weekend’s FBD League game amongst followers of both teams. We have launched our fundraising drive to help fund the completion of the project, and hope that supporters, players, sponsors and associates of the club can contribute in the next couple of months. There are three ways you can contribute – buying a brick (€100), block (€250) or wall (€1600). All donors will be remembered in perpetuity on a donor wall inside the building when complete. To donate, contact Joe Cawley (087) 9173991, Eugene Nelson (087) 2339591 or pro.enniscronekilglass.sligo@gaa.ie. Your support at this extraordinary time in the club’s history would be greatly appreciated.

Married vs Singles
Quigabar was the hive of activity on December 27th for the annual Married vs Singles match, with the Married team extending their unbeaten run to a seventh year following an exciting encounter. Thanks to all of those who helped out on the day which everyone enjoyed, with over €1000 raised for Diabetes Ireland. Thanks also to Keevan Tuffy, whose fantastic footage of the game is available via our Facebook page. We’re looking forward to next year already!
Minor presentation
Minor ‘A’ Football champions Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey received their medals at a presentation function held in the Diamond Coast Hotel last Wednesday, with Mayo’s All-Star goalkeeper David Clarke as special guest. Well done to all the players and management on what was a fantastic achievement to bring the title west for the first time since 1980 – it will be remembered long into the future. Thanks to the Diamond Coast Hotel for their kind hospitality as always.
