St Michaels beat Dundrum in ACFL Div 4

By Marc Mac Siomoin [marc_mac_siomoin@yahoo.co.uk]

* Best wishes go to juvenile member Paddy Curry who recently broke his arm in a freak accident. Paddy will be a huge miss to both the U-16 and U-14 teams. Get well soon!.

* The Seniors had no game last Friday night due to Aughlisnafin requesting a postponement. This Friday South Belfast side Bredagh venture to the coast for the first time in many years to compete in what should be a cracking encounter. Dundrum players should meet at the changing rooms for 6.15pm.

Training takes place tonight (Wednesday) at 7.30pm sharp. Further training arrangements will be made available to the players after the match on Friday. This forthcoming Wednesday night the Seniors take on Aghaderg in the Preliminary Round of the Junior Championship. Having spent the past two years in the Intermediate, the Duns will be hopeful of getting a good run this time around.

With four key players missing for Dundrum though, Aghaderg will feel very confident about their chances of progressing. Neil McLaughlin (Holidays), Cormac Venney, Conor McKibbin and Mickey Murray are all out of action for the next couple of weeks.

* Well done to Paul McComiskey, John Morgan and the rest of the Down Minor setup after their superb victory over Galway. With Offaly next up in the Semi Finals, Down should be more than confident of progressing to the Croke Park decider.

* Friday the 2nd of September will see the Dundrum GFC Annual Golf Classic return to Downpatrick Golf Club. With the Classic increasing in prestige over the past couple of years, participants are reminded to submit their entries ASAP. This can be done through contacting either Paul Byrne or Barry Walsh or alternatively entering through www.dundrum-clg.com.

After a great showing in 2004, the club is confident of another success. A record number of participants is expected this year so it is imperative that all registration is done immediately. Details of rules and regulations, the presentation ceremony in Diamond Pat's and all the accolades up for grabs can be viewed on the website.
