Congratulations to our senior men’s footballers who regained Division 1 status for 2017 thanks to an impressive 1-15 to 1-6 win over Geevagh in last Sunday’s Division 2 league final at Markievicz Park. The team produced a fine hour of football with all bar four of their scores coming from play. Well done to the players, manager Kevin Dufficy, and trainer Fergal O’Flaherty. The silverware is a fitting recognition for a long season of effort and commitment by the players and management. A special mention for senior manager Kevin Dufficy, who headed straight to Dublin and the airport after the match to begin a new work placement overseas. We wish Kevin well in his new work role. Sunday’s team was: Ronan McCormack, Colin Feeney, Dara Long, Jude McGarry, Jamie Gillen (0-3), Neil Ewing (Capt), Seán Power, Brian ÓgMurphy, Brian Monaghan, John Harvey, Paul Logan (0-6), Niall Collery (0-2), John Hester, Cian Lally (1-1), Niall Canning (0-3). Subs: Kevin Davey for John Hester, Seán Peyton for Ógie Murphy, Stephen Regan for John Harvey, Justin Lyons for Ronan McCormack, Paddy Gormley for Cian Lally..d by the Clonduff GAA Club to play a challenge game, and then take part in the club’s Halloween celebrations afterwards.

Thanks to everybody who turned up and helped out with last Saturday morning’s final GAA Nursery coaching session for 2016. All our young players received a medal and goodie bag for their hard work this year. Particular thanks go to all the mums (and dads) who helped out behind the scenes with the catering and organisation of the event. The nursery will be back in early March 2017. Remember, keep practising!
