There will be a charity football match in Annsborough on Sunday 23rd February between the U30’s and the O30’s with proceeds going to Donard Fundraising Group for Marie Curie & MYMY. We extend an invite to all former and current players to come along to take part. The match will be played under the banner of Recreational Football and so mouthguards will not be compulsory. All participants will need to sign the standard disclaimer form on the day of the match.
Well done to Eoin Lundy, Oran Flanagan, Jack Matthews and their St Malachys High School team mates on making it through to the semi final of the McDevitt Cup, the u14 Ulster Vocational Schools competition, after a big 11-9 to 4-5 win against Dean Maguirc of Carrickmore. Oran lined out at corner back while Eoin played at centre half back. St Malachy’s will now meet Breifne College of Cavan for a place in the final and we wish them the very best of luck in their endeavours.
Commiserations to Aughlisnafin Ladies footballer, Sileen McDonald and her Liatroim Camogs teammates who missed out on a place in the All Ireland final.
