News 24/7/12


The first prize winner in the July club draw was Rory O Brien, Shreelane, second went to Margaret Burke, Maulatrahane and third the O Donovan Family, West Quay. Consolation prizes were won by Amy and Joanne Hamilton, Glandore; Jimmy Kenneally, Drinagh; Martin O Sullivan, Droum and Michael Tobin, Keamore.                                       
On Wednesday 18th July the minor hurlers played St Colms in the championship in Skibbereen.  The team was slow to settle and the western men were much livelier playing with the wind and were in a strong position at half time ahead on the score 3-8 to 1-4. While the game may have appeared out of reach the team put in a great effort and worked very hard for the second half. While they dominated possession they were unable to convert this possession into scores and while the final score showed them losing 1-6 to 4-8 they had restored a lot of pride with their effort. 
On Friday evening the minor footballers played Clanna Gael in a competitive game that was a good preparation for the championship which will have been played by the time these notes are printed.
The U8 footballers took part in an excellently organised blitz in Dunmanway on Saturday 21st July. The conditions were superb and this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all involved and was a credit to the organisers.
