Mohill GAA Club Notes 02/07/2018

County Team – The County boys played their hearts out but were up against a strong Monaghan side on Saturday last. The team is young and there will be better days ahead. They can all look forward now to the Leitrim Championships.

Under 12 – Allen Gaels were Mohill’s opposition in the Cross Border Shield final last week in Carrick. Having met before in the build-up it was obvious that little would separate these two well balanced teams and in the end and just one point was the winning margin with Allen Gaels winning the laurels on Thursday last.  The team and scorers was, C McHugh, T Casey, A Kiernan, F McManus, N Mulligan 2-1, R Walpole, T Mayock, C Walpole 0-2, B McCrann, E Kilrane, K McCaffrey 0-1, R Gordon, D Beirne 2-5, E OReilly. Subs not used, C Tighe, J Dimmock, S Mayock, J Doyle, J Gyasi, H Afford. The younger boys will have their chance on Tuesday next in the other Div Shield Final in Pairc Philib at 7pm.

Newtowngore Engineering Under 17 Championship – These boys play Glencar on Mon 9th next at Mohill in Div 2 of the U 17 Championship

Dunnes Bar Div 2 League – On Wed next Mohill play Bornacoola in Div 2 of the League at 8pm in Mohill.

New Arrival – Congratulations to John McGuinness and Niamh Cunningham on the birth of their little baby girl Blaithín. A first grandchild for Phil McGuinness and Marian and Peadar Cunningham. May it bring deserving happiness to all concerned.

Farewell to Mary – On Wed last we said farewell to a great club lady, Mary Kennedy and we witnessed one of the biggest ever Guards of Honour in the town. Every team from under 6 up, boys and girls, the County boys and Longford rugby Club lined the Main Street from top to bottom showing their respect to the Kennedy family. Rest in peace Mary.
