TANSEY CUP FINAL

Congratulations to our men's panel and management, sponsored by Joe Simon Home, Garden & Build, who won an exciting Division 3 league final on Sunday in Ardcarne Park with a 3-9 to 2-8 victory over Strokestown. It was wonderful to see the large turnout of supporters, young and old, from near and far, who joined in the celebrations. Thanks to all our volunteers who helped in any way to make the day a great success for the club.

 

 

UNDERAGE BOYS

Underage championship football commenced last week with most of our boys teams in action. The under 16 boys had a good win in their Division 2 game in Knockcroghery on Monday: St Michael's-St Ronan's 3-18  St Dominic's 2-13. They play Kilglass Gaels-St Barry's in Ardcarne Park on Monday 17th while the u16 Division 4 team play the same opposition in Kilglass on Friday 21st, both at 7.30pm. 

On Thursday the under 18 boys had to settle for a draw in Ballyfarnon: St Michael's-St Ronan's 1-19  St Faithleach's 4-10. The u14 Division 4 team gave a great display in Ballyfarnon on Sunday morning: St Michael's-St Ronan's 6-7  Western Gaels 5-7.

The u14 Division 2 team play Western Gaels in Frenchpark on Thursday 20th at 7.30pm while the Division 4 side play Kilmore-Shannon Gaels in Kilmore on Sunday 23rd at 12.30pm.

Best of luck to all our teams and their coaches.

Commiserations to Leah McCawley and the Roscommon minor ladies and management on an agonising one point defeat in the Connacht Final last Wednesday.

 

GAELIC FOR GIRLS - HAVE A BALL

We had another great session of Gaelic For Girls at Ardcarne Park on Wednesday evening last. Many thanks to our adult and teenage role models whose continued encouragement and example is inspiring the young girls.

DADS & LADS

Football for Dads & Lads made a welcome return last week with a very enjoyable session. The purpose of the initiative is to give people of all ages a chance to get out and enjoy playing gaelic football in a non-competitive environment. We go again on Wednesday next (19th) at 9pm in Ardcarne Park.  A good time is guaranteed and everyone is welcome!

 

 

ROSCOMMON SFC

Best of luck to our representatives on the North Roscommon panel who play West Roscommon in the first round of the Senior Football Championship on Saturday 22nd at 5pm in Strokestown.
