Ardglass GAC Notes

Results round up

The Seniors ladies finally got their season underway away to Carryduff last Sunday. However it was not a good start to the season as a strong and determined Carryduff outfit dominated the play from start to finish, however there were some encouraging performances for Kieran Shields and Stephen Beattie young charges. Next game at home to Teconnaught on Tuesday 23rd may @7.30

The Senior men had a disappointing defeat at home to Teconnaught, after leading for most of the game. The Visitors finished strongly and hit two late goals on the counter attack which left the home side pointless. Last Friday’s game away to Newry Bosco was postponed due the weather. Next game at home to Drumgath on Monday 22nd may @ 7.30 followed by an away match in Drumaness on Friday night.

The Under 14s produced two great displays at home against Ballykinler/Dundrum and Carryduff to get their season of to a 100% start. Over both games Daniel Maginn was in fine goal scoring form aided by Stephen Magennis and Stewart Curran. While David Kearney put in strong performances in Midfield and Ciaran Mallaghan and Peter O’Shea defended well. Next fixture away to St Paul’s on Thursday.

The Under 16’s suffered two heavy defeats, losing to Saul at home and Dromara away. In both games Ardglass had a very poor first half but despite spirited second half performances they were unable to make up the difference.
