Kilmacabea Gaa Notes 9/7/12

                      A number of games were played at various levels during the week but there wasn’t much joy in the results. On Thursday 5^th St Colms were the visitors to Leap and as has been the case a number of times during the year the home side lost out by the slimmest of margins on the score Kilmacabea 2- 11 St.Colms 1-15. On the same night the minor hurlers played Carbery Rangers in the league in Rosscarbery.  A good effort was put in but a stronger home team and with some good hurlers gave the Ross men a comprehensive victory. Liam Thompson suffered an arm injury which is hoped may not be as bad as feared. Tadgh McCarthaigh were the visitors to Leap on Saturday morning for the U12 football league but again the visitors were too strong for the home team. On Saturday evening the U14 footballers played Bantry in a challenge match but the Bantry team were a much stronger outfit and had a comprehensive win. A week to forget !. The show goes on.
