LGFA

It was a very busy week in the ladies football.

The under 14 girls made history this weekend by being the first ever ladies team to win a division 2 title in our club.  Thanks to Joe Daly Tom Murphy Dawn O Connor and Hilda Daly.

The under 16 girls were beaten on Sunday in the 2 A championship final by a stronger Padraig Pearses team.  A very talent group of players which going forward will help build our adult team. Thanks to Stephen McGuinness, Donal Kelly, Michael Bruen, Hilary McCawley and Olive Healy.

 

Thanks to both St Ronans and St Michaels for treating all the girls after their finals. Thanks to Dawn for organising the food on both days.

 

The under 12 girls were beaten by just one score in the Northern League final vs Castlerea on Monday last.

This huge squad has developed so well under the guidance of Theresa Whyte, Charlene Morahan, Fergal Morahan, Colm Martin, Ray Lynam and Stephen Carty They have taken part in 3 competitions.  They also were a number of friendly games for the under 10 girls.  We also want to thank Conor McLoughlin for his help with the under 10s.

UNDERAGE

Our Under 13 Boys hosted Castlerea in Ardcarne Park on Thursday last with a place in the championship semi-finals at stake. Two early goals helped the visitors jump into an early lead. The home side battled valiantly to reduce the deficit to just 3pts with ten minutes remaining but couldn't fully bridge the gap. Full-time: St Michael's-St Ronan's 2-7  Castlerea 4-6.  

 

Our Under 15 Boys played Castlerea in the Division 1 championship on Monday last in Ballyfarnon. At the end of a well-contested game, the visitors took the spoils on a 1-10 to 1-4 scoreline.

 

The Under 17 Boys travelled to Ballyleague on Wednesday to play a strong St. Faithleach's team. No quarter was asked nor given in a wholehearted championship contest. With both defences on top and scores hard-earned, it was the home side who did just enough to emerge victorious by 2-6 to 1-6.

 

JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP:

Congratulations to our men's team who defeated Boyle in the third round of the Junior championship on Sunday by 1-12 to 11pts to secure their place in the quarter-finals in a fortnight's time.
