On Wednesday last we were defeated 2-15 to 2-11 by Granard in Monaduff. The team was dealt a severe blow before the match when we lost captain Emmet Noonan to injury and Stephen Cosgrave also received an injury which resulted in him having to come off during the match. We wish both lads a speedy recovery. We were leading this match at half time 1-6 to 0-8, with the goal coming from a Paddy Collum penalty after Pauric Gill was hauled down. A lack of concentration in the second half resulted in two Granard goals but we pulled one back thanks to Conor Keenan, who had a magnificent match, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. The team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum (1-0, pen) Stephen Cosgrave, Cian Brady Paul McGee, Mark Hughes Gary Connell, JP Farley, Liam Lynch, David Collum, Jamie Nertney, Conor Keenan (1-3), Dean Cosgrave (0-2), Aiden Gray, Martin Cassidy (0-6, 5f). Subs Kaelum Gill, Sean Whelan, Podge Gill  On Saturday we were defeated by Longford Slashers in a cracking match in Monaduff 1-15 to 2-11. We raced into a 1-2 to nil lead early on against a gale force wind, Conor Keenan picking up where he left off in the Granard match, raced through in the opening minute for a well taken goal. Keenan then placed Pauric Gill who was fouled and Martin Cassidy slotted the resulting free over and then notched a fine effort from play. Slashers came back and kicked 7 on the trot before Pauric Gill chased down a dropping effort from Dean Cosgrave to punch a goal on the stroke of half time to leave us 2-2 to 0-7 in front. Some fabulous points came in the second half from Keenan, Cosgrave and Gill to leave us three in front but Slashers were thrown a lifeline when Joe Kelly pulled on a ball to the net after a rebound off the post wasn’t cleared. The lead changed numerous times before the end and Slashers kicked three points in injury time to win it. It was disappointing not to get a chance to level at the end. Martin Cassidy slotted a free over after Gill raced through and was fouled and from the resulting kick out Sean Whelan won a terrific aerial ball and was wrongly blown for laying the ball off to a team mate off the shoulder, as he had never put his hand up to call a mark, which is the rule. The team and scorers were as follows. The team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum (0-1, 1f), JP Farley, Cian Brady, Paul McGee, Jamie Nertney, Gary Connell, Kaelum Gill, Liam Lynch, David Collum, Dean Cosgrave (0-1), Conor Keenan (1-2), Pauric Gill (1-2), Martin Cassidy (0-5, 2f, 1m), Aiden Gray, Mark Hughes. Subs: Podge Gill, Sean Whelan.  The busy schedule continues for the lads as we play Mullinalaghta tonight, Wednesday, June 29th in the Laurels and the final league match at home to Mostrim on Saturday, July 2nd at 7pm. Best of luck to the team and management    Gaelic For All  Fr Manning Gaels are pleased to announce that we are partaking in “Gaelic For All” in conjunction with AIRC Midlands at Monaduff.

ACFL Division 1 

We had a disappointing result last Saturday against Carrickedmond when losing 0-13 to 0-9 in Michael Moran Park. Trailing 0-4 to 0-2 at half time after playing against a gale, it died down significantly in the second and Carrickedmond raced six clear on the resumption. The team rallied with a couple of great long-range scores from Conor Keenan, converted frees from Martin Cassidy for fouls on himself and Pauric Gill, and Gill had an opportunity for a goal to level proceedings but was flicked over the bar by the keeper. Missed opportunities and handling errors cost us from narrowing the gap further and Carrickedmond kicked on again to win by four. Our next match is Wednesday week at home to Granard. The Division 4 team has a bye this weekend. The team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum (0-1, 1f), Paul McGee, Cian Brady, Stephen Cosgrave, Emmet Noonan, Gary Connell, JP Farley, Sean Whelan, Liam Lynch, Mark Hughes, Conor Keenan (0-2), Pauric Gill (0-1), Martin Cassidy (0-5, 4f), Podge Gill, Dean Cosgrave. Subs used: Mark Breslin, Kaelum Gill

National Schools 

Congratulations to Drumlish NS on their win in the Division 1B final against Killoe last week. This is the first time a school from the parish has competed in Division 1 since the founding of Cumann na mBunscol and great credit goes to Mike Mulleady, their trainer, who has been coaching in the school for a number of years as well as our underage and nursery coaches. Commiserations to Ballinamuck NS on their defeat but who also did very well to reach the final. Well done to Shane Hannify who got Man of the Match in his final win with Abbeylara NS 

 

Sympathy 

The club extends its sympathy to the family and friends of Fr Frank Gray who passed away last week. Fr. Frank was curate in the parish in the early 70s and took a very active role in the affairs of the club, being one of our club presidents and also on the finance committee which was instrumental in launching what would become the Marquee in Drumlish.
