Emyvale GAA Club Notes for Thursday 15th September

Apologies: Sorry for no notes last week. I went in for a couple of wee repair jobs & it took longer that expected.

Intermediate Championship: Emyvale meet Tyholland this Saturday evening in the Mc Elvaneys Recycling & Waste Intermediate Championship in St Mellans with a throw in time of 5.30pm. In their league encounters this year, Emyvale won in Tyholland & Tyholland won in Emyvale so all to play for on Saturday. We wish the boys the best of luck & hope they can progress to the semi-final. Please go along & support our team.

Intermediate League: Emyvale hosted Donaghmoyne in the Intermediate League on Saturday evening last & both teams provided an entertaining, end to end game. Donaghmoyne won by a margin of two points but Emyvale squandered a few chances at the end to close the game out. They made some basic errors during the game that resulted in Donaghmoyne scores but it was a good team performance with many positive aspects.

Congratulations: Wishing many years of health & happiness to former player Michael Mc Crudden, Knocknagrave & Therese Curley, former ladies player who were married last week.

Juveniles:

U-14 Emyvale played Latton in the Division 5 Shield Final last Saturday in Scotstown and had a

fantastic win on a score line of 3-16 to 4-04. Well done to all our players, managers, coaches, mentors,

medical staff and parents for their commitment throughout the year. Best wishes on a speedy recovery

to Luke Kelly who was injured during the game.

U-16 Division 2 contested the Championship final for a second year in a row last Saturday in

Scotstown. Unfortunately they could not emulate the success of our U-14 team earlier in the day and were

defeated by a better Latton team on a score line 2-15 to 0-09. Well done to all to everyone involved

with the team on reaching the final and their hard work throughout the year. Hopefully they had

success in the League Semi Final which was away against Donaghmoyne on Tuesday evening, full

report next in weeks notes.
