Results

With two championship semi-finals up for decision, last weekend hopes were high of reaching the final in both. In the first game on Saturday morning our u17 team took on St Mary’s Kiltoghert. The first half was closely contested with Mary’s going in at half-time a goal up. The Fenagh lads hit some good form as the second half progressed and hit goals at crucial times running out winners on a scoreline of 6.11 to 2.09. This win sets up a County Final meeting with neighbours Sean O’Heslins on Sunday 15th October. On Saturday evening the Junior B semi-final took place with Glencar Manor the opposition. Despite Fenagh starting well and leading through the second half, Manor got a goal at a crucial time and try as they might Fenagh couldn’t respond with Glencar Manor holding out in the end for a 2 point victory on a scoreline of 1.09 to 0.10.

Results

Another busy weekend of games saw results both good and not so good. First up on Friday last was the u13 C’ship final in the Leitrim Centre of Excellence. This game saw Fenagh St Caillins take the cup with a comprehensive display against a gallant St Joseph’s team. From the throw in the Fenagh boys were in control and their work rate, skill and determination drove them on to victory. Well done to the squad of players and their coaches Killian McLoughlin, Brendan McLoughlin and Martin Doonan. Match report and pictures elsewhere in the Leitrim Observer. On Saturday morning our u17’s travelled to take on Melvin Gaels in the c’ship but they suffered defeat on a scoreline of Fenagh St Caillins 1.08, Melvin Gaels 3.10. The big game in Pairc Sean on Saturday afternoon saw our Intermediate team take on Leitrim Gaels in the C’ship quarter-final replay. Despite starting better than in the drawn game our lads couldn’t keep the momentum going throughout the game and lost out to a better Leitrim Gaels team by 0.09 to 2.09.

Results

The big game of the weekend was the Intermediate C’ship quarter-final. In a game that started off poorly for us the lads showed great character in the second half when down to 14 men, they really took the game to Leitrim Gaels and took the lead in injury time only for an equalizing point to go over with injury time up. The final score was Fenagh St Caillins 0.13, Leitrim Gaels 1.10. Fenagh St Caillins u13’s had a great win against neighbours Kiltubrid on Friday evening last in the u13 c’ship semi-final, winning after a mighty battle on a scoreline of Fenagh St Caillins 4.08, Kiltubrid 1.12. Our u15’s were less fortunate in their c’ship semi-final played on Monday evening losing out to St Joseph’s on a scoreline of Fenagh St Caillins 1.08, St Joseph’s 3.11.
Fixtures
On Friday evening next the Barna Recycling u13 Championship final takes place at 6.30pm with Fenagh St Caillins taking on St Joseph’s. The venue has yet to be decided. On Saturday morning our u17’s travel to Kinlough to play Melvin Gaels in the championship. This game throws in at 12pm. Later on Saturday afternoon is the eagerly awaited Intermediate C’ship replay with Leitrim Gaels. It’s scheduled for a 3pm start in Pairc Sean MacDiarmada. Lots of exciting games to look forward to so please come out and support our teams.
Cycle from Na Fianna to Fenagh
Last Saturday saw this event taking place for the second year and again it proved to be a great success. With over 30 cyclists taking part the weather conditions did not make the journey easy and a strong westerly wind added significantly to the cycle time. Undeterred, all starters arrived into Fenagh to a warm welcome and an enjoyable evening was then had with food and entertainment and some rehydration. Thanks to everyone who assisted in organising the event and to those who helped out on the day and in the village with our stationary bike. Special thanks to the cyclists and helpers from the Na Fianna GAA Club who made the event possible.
