Club Notes September 13^th 2020

Junior Men

We face Western Gaels in the Junior A Championship Quarter Final on Sunday next September 20^th in Abbey Park at 12.30pm. Best of luck to the team and management

Under 14 Boys

Our under 14 boys sponsored by McGuinness Centra completed the group phase of their Division 2 championship campaign on Monday evening last with a short trip to Abbey Park to play Boyle. The visitors held the upper hand in terms of possession and territory during the first half but Boyle's defence put up a stubborn resistance and they only trailed by 4 points at the interval, St Michael's 1-6 Boyle 5pts. Encouraged by their first half showing, the home team dominated the third quarter but scores did not come easily. A goal shortly before the water break put Boyle in front by a point. However, St Michael's response in the last quarter was swift and decisive. 1-5 in five minutes without reply settled the issue with scores shared evenly from there to the final whistle. Full time: St Michael's 2-15 Boyle 1-11. Well done to the team and management who now sit in 2nd place in Division 2 and can look forward to the knockout stages with confidence.
Minor Boys

Our minor boys sponsored by Ardcarne Garden Centre took on a strong Elphin-Ballinameen combination in the Division 2 championship on Wednesday last. The lads started brightly and lead twice in the early stages, but greater economy in front of goal saw the home side in front by 5 points to 3 as the 2nd quarter got underway. A fortuitous goal when a point effort rebounded off an upright was a major setback to the visitors' hopes. The home side quickly capitalized on their momentum to put the game beyond our reach. St Michael's never gave up the fight but their season concluded in a 2-13 to 8pts defeat. Thanks to the players and team management for their commitment during 2020. The truncated competition format was merciless but the season will still stand to the squad as they advance to adult football in the years to come.
