Fenagh St Caillin’s GAA Club Notes 29/08/2018

The Late John Tom Bland – Fenagh St Caillins Gaa Club President John Tom Bland was laid to rest on Friday last. He was a former player with distinction who lined out mainly in goals but also played throughout the field. Following his playing days he became a fervent supporter and could always to be relied on to provide words of encouragement etc. from the sidelines. He was honoured by the Club last October as a member of the Golden Jubilee Team Junior Championship winning team of 1967. He has served as a honorary President of the Club for the past number of years. We express our sincerest sympathies to his wife Frances, sons James and Dermot and to his extended family, neighbours and friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a ainm.

U13 Semi Final – Our lads had a brilliant week of football with two games in 4 days.

That game seen the lads through to the semi finals where they met Drumkeeran in Drumkeeran on Monday. The game itself was a brilliant match, we lead all the way through the game but Drumkeeran never gave up and our lads held on by sheer grit and determination to book their place in the final. These young lads have put so much work into getting this far and are a credit to the club. They are such a young enthusiastic group that certainly deserve all the success they have had so far , so please get behind these young men and show your support in the final !!

Bornacoola GAA Club Notes 29/08/2018

Club Draw – The Club Draw for August will take place this Saturday night in the Weir Lodge Rooskey – a great night promised and we hope to see you all there.

Junior B Championship – The Junior team sealed their place in the County Semi Final with an impressive 2-13 to 1-10 victory over Glencar/Manor in Páirc Seán on Sunday morning last. The Bornacoola victory was based on an excellent first half display, albeit it was Manor who took an early lead when they scored the first goal of the game after 12 minutes. The Bors hit back with an excellent individual goal from Anthony Mulligan and from then until half time dominated both possession and the scoring exchanges to lead by 1-13 to 1-4 at half time. Glencar/Manor were the better team in a second half during which the Bors would only score once – a crucial goal from the boot of Brian Conroy and it was this which ensured a semi-finial place next month. Team on duty was Conor Hackett, Tony Shanley, Seamus Mallon, Luke Jones, Robert O Beirne, Mervyn Howard, Gearoid Mulligan, Michael Duignan, Anthony Mulligan, Noel Mc Enroe, Shane Conroy, Roy Keenan, Brian Conroy, Liam Jones and Jonathan Duffy. Subs were Mark Mc Closkey, John, Shanley, Gerry Gearty and Kieran Campbell.

Senior Championship – Melvin Gaels provided the opposition in our penultimate group game in the Senior Championship in Páirc Seán on Saturday evening last and for long periods of the game the Bors gave as good as they got. The Gaels were the better team though and held a 0-8 to 0-3 lead before Bornacoola’s best period of the game came in the third quarter and at one stage they had brought the contest back to a 2 point game, 0-10 to 0-8 with only about 15 minutes remaining. However, the Gaels finished very strong, scoring three goals as the clock ticked down and ensuring a victory on a 3-14 to 0-10 scoreline. St Mary’s provide the opposition in our final group game on the weekend after next.  

 

Minor Championship – Rinn Gaels played Glencar/Manorhamilton in the semi-final of the Division 2 Minor Championship in Gortletteragh on Monday August 20th and enjoyed a great 0-15 to 1-8 victory. The lads now progress to the County final, which is scheduled for Saturday week, Sept 8th in Páirc Seán at 12noon with Melvin Gawls providing the opposition – team on duty was Jake Shields, Tom Reel, Ciaran Reen, Oisin Niblock (0-1), Ciaran Mc Glynn,  Odhran Heslin, James Cunningham (0-1), Shane Mallon (0-2), Ryan Cunningham, Shane Reynolds (0-2), Brendan Davies, Jamie Quinn (0-8) and Ciaran Reynolds.

Bornacoola GAA Club Notes 21/08/2018

Junior B Championship – Our Junior team got their Championship campaign off to a great start on Saturday evening last when they enjoyed an excellent victory over Dromahair in their first group game played in Drumshanbo. Dromahair started the brighter of the two sides and enjoyed a one point lead at half time, 1-5 to 1-4. However the Bors were a different prospect in the second half and once we registered our second goal, a victory was always on the cards. In the end, Dromahair only managed one second half point and the Bors recorded a heartening 2-9 to 1-6 victory. Our second group game will be against Glencar/Manorhamilton in Páirc Seán at 1.30pm on Sunday with a win needed to be sure of advancing to the next round.

Senior Championship – Melvin Gaels provide the opposition in the Senior Championship this Saturday evening – throw in is at 5pm in Páirc Seán.

 

All Ireland Hurling Final – Our club’s Galway contingent – headed by Noel Carr and Padraic Naughton – were left with little to celebrate after Limerick’s great victory on Sunday; it was a happier story though for Niall Riordan with his strong Limerick connections. It was also an amazing day for our own Jonathan Boyle who starred in the Linerick colours in the mini sevens half time game at the All Ireland final in Croke Park – it was an incredible honour for this fine young man and indeed for the Bornacoola club and to the best of our knowledge he is the first Bornacoola man to play a part on All Ireland hurling final day. Maith thú Johnathon.

 

Ladies Intermediate Championship – Bornacoola/St Mary’s played their third championship match on Saturday morning last against the competition favourites St Francis in Ballinamore and despite putting it up to the Allen Gaels/Ballinaglera combination for the hour, the girls were defeated on a 0-14 to 1-4 scoreline. They got off to a great start with Aisling Leahy finding the net in the early exchanges as she latched onto a ball over the top and it was very much an evenly matched contest for the remainder of the half with the score at the changeover 0-7 to 1-3. However, the greater physical strength of the winners was telling in the second period as they wore down our girls to run out worthy winners, having added seven points to their tally to a single reply. Next up for the ladies is the final round of the round robin on September 1st when they face Mohill.  On duty on Saturday last were: Kathy Butler, Cora McCauley, Jasmine Maye, Joanne McGushin, Hannah Reynolds, Lorraine Guckian, Emily Reynolds, Alison McKeon, Kasey Bruen, Sara Crowe, Aisling Leahy (1-4), Lauren Hackett, Sarah Reynolds, Kelly Howard, Lisa Guckian, Ellen Woods, Rachel McGarry, Isabelle Chandler and Hannah Bird.
