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.

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.

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.

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. Losers by the narrowest of margins 2-7 to 1-9, the team never got going and struggled to get to the pace of the game after a long lay-off. The team now begin their preparations for the championship.
U-14
Our U-14s kick off their championship campaign when they host St John’s at Quigabar next Friday evening at 7pm. Best wishes to the players and management for the upcoming campaign.

Our U-12s extended their winning run to eight games with a 0-14 to 0-13 defeat of St Patrick’s at Dromard last Tuesday. In a very close encounter, our boys just about edged it in a thrilling finish. This means they qualify for the quarter-finals as group winners, and play Tourlestrane at home in the semi-final on August 8^th.
County Scene
It was a busy weekend on the county scene, with Joseph Martin playing for the Sligo U-14s and Gavin Duffy and Oisin Hynes playing for the U-15 side.

On the Masters front, both Declan Cawley and Michael Moyles were involved with the Sligo side that beat London on Saturday afternoon in Swinford. Well done all.

Our U-14s endured an agonising defeat when they succumbed to Tubbercurry/Cloonacool in an exciting Division Two Shield final at Scarden last Friday, 6-8 to 3-14. The lads will be very disappointed at the outcome having dominated the game, but they missed too many goal chances and the winners came good at the end to secure the honours. Nonetheless, our lads acquitted themselves very well throughout the league and look forward to the championship. Thanks to the great travelling support on the evening.

Intermediate
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. The lads will look to bounce back when they host Easkey in the next round on Friday next at 8pm in Quigabar.
