Team Affairs:

Our intermediate team played Tyholland last Friday night in the Intermediate League at home. Both teams were nip and tuck for the first ten minutes and then Tyholland proceeded to take full advantage of possession. However our men put their shoulder to the wheel and ran out convincing winners. See match report elsewhere in this issue. On Sunday with confidence brewing we visited Drunhowan, in search of a very successful weekend on the field of play. With a gale force brreze blowing across the field it spoiled what otherwise were perfect conditions. We went in at half time at a one point gain. However Drunhowan showed their experience of playing senior grade football last year and carried the ball convincingly against the breeze. They eventually ran out winners on a scoreline of Drumhowan 0-8, Seans 0-6. This Sunday we visit early pace setters in the Corduff @ 2:30pm in Corduff. Never an easy place to go visiting looking for points.

Cultural Night:

Our monthly Irish Music session is taking place on Friday 13th May. Junior musicians will kick off proceedings at 9pm sharp, with the tempo and momentum increasing, as fingers get warmed up!

This is an invaluable opportunity to dust off those instruments & get back up to speed, in what is a fun & sociable night for all. Please come along and support these local musicians.

Minors:

Our minors got the ball rolling last Tuesday night week, with a comprehensive win in Doohamlet.  A speedy recovery is wished to Matthew Mc Cabe who sustained who sustained a serious injury two weeks ago. Hope to see you back in the yellow and white jersey soon.

Referees:

Anybody interested in taking up refereeing should contact the Chairman, Gerry Lynch as referee courses will be beginning soon. With nearly 800 juvenile matches alone to be refereed throughout the county this year, it is very important we have enough referees.
