The next Games and Coaching
sub-committee meeting on Monday 6th

attended the ‘Go Games’
demonstration in Castlewellan on
Sunday.

visiting Downpatrick on Sunday
coming and the Seniors get underway
on Easter Monday 17th
April at home to Saval.
The Minors played Rostrevor on
Sunday losing by two points, 2:10 to
2:8. We started slowly and goals
against in the early and later
stages of the first half left us
with just too much to do after the
break. Scuffing a penalty badly wide
did not help our cause but credit
the players in a rousing final
quarter when they ran at the Reds
and unlocked their defence with
goals from Damian Sherry and Kyle
Morris and a series of points, the
pick from a mighty Michael Rodgers
shot. Team: Joe Cole Gerard Keenan
Michael Rodgers Chris Cunningham
Gary Cunningham Damian Sherry Conor
Phillips Conor Doyle Darren
Cunningham Darren White Kyle Morris
Dave Morgan Adrian Arterton Conor
Sloan Darren Doyle. Subs Eamon Quinn
