Academy

The U9's took to the centre of excellence in Ballyhaunis aka "The Dome" on Sunday morning and all we can say is WOW. What an amazing experience and venue it is. The children truly excelled and thoroughly enjoyed this amazing opportunity. Thanks so much to all the parents for travelling, 25 children enjoyed the experience. We played 5 games in total against St. Ronan's, Ballintubber and a final game of St. Michael's X v St. Michael's Y.

Well done to everyone

 

Well done to our U-11 St.Michaels/St. Ronan’s boys who participated  in a very competitive tournament in Croghan on Sunday last.

The boys had a fantastic experience.

Thank you to all the parents and families who turned up to support.

Thanks to the referees who deserve great credit.

Special thanks to all at Shannon Gaels for the excellent organisation of the inaugural Sean Duigan memorial tournament.

 

On Friday evening 30th September at 6:15pm our U5, U7, U9 and U11 Academy, have their final training session followed by some goodie bags and some end of year presentations, hoping to see everyone there!

Huge thanks to Agnes and Francis Dowd for sponsoring the goodie bags.

 

Marathon Man

Congratulations to Academy coach, James Meehan, who ran in the Berlin marathon on Sunday (when the world record was broken!) The question now is: which coach will follow in James' footsteps?!

 

 

JUNIOR A CHAMPIONSHIP

Best of luck to our adult men's team who play Padraig Pearses in the quarter-final of the Junior A Championship on Sunday 2nd October. Throw-in is at 2.15pm in Ballyleague. Hopefully our loyal supporters will turn out in big numbers for this crucial game.

 

JUNIOR B CHAMPIONSHIP
Our Junior B team had their second championship outing in Knockcroghery on Saturday last, against St Dominic's. The visitors got off to a bright start and led by 1-3 to 1pt after ten minutes. The home side settled into the game and had reduced their deficit to a single point approaching half-time. St Michael's ended the half strongly, however, with a goal and two points to lead by 2-7 to 1-4 at the break. Aided by the breeze on the resumption, St Dominic's narrowed the gap to 4pts with 2 early frees, but a third goal from the visitors after ten minutes kept the home side at arm's length. A further series of pointed frees, with just one in reply, saw the margin reduced to three with ten minutes remaining. The advantage was then wiped out by a goal for the home side. Points were exchanged and the sides remained deadlocked until a third Dominic's goal secured the spoils as normal time elapsed. Full-time: St Dominic's 3-13  St Michael's 3-10. This was another promising performance from a developing team. We wish them better luck in their third round game on Saturday 1st October at 2pm in Ardcarne Park..
