GLASDRUMMAN GAC NOTES
1 The Seniors lost out to a very
strong Annaclone team on Saturday's
Intermediate Championship Semi-Final
in Newcastle. The lads didn't
go out without a fight and had
closed down what was at one point
a seven point deficit to within
a single point in added time,
only to finally lose by two. With
a little more luck it could have
been a different score line but
at least the squad can now concentrate
on the top of Division 3. Please
keep an eye on the press for Senior
fixtures this week.
2 The Reserves were unlucky to
lose out to Atticall on Sunday
evening away from home. In what
was their final game of the season,
the team produced one of their
best displays of the year to go
down narrowly by two points.
3 Congratulations to the Minor
squad and management on winning
South Down Division 3.
4 The U-14 tournament in Tullylish
has been put back to Saturday
4th October, more details at training,
training continues on Mondays
and Thursdays at 7.00pm.
5 On Sunday the U-12s had a well
deserved home victory over St.
Michael's. Both teams held their
own for the first ten minutes
after which Glasdrumman settled
into the game better, taking some
fine scores in the process. Scorers
were Gerard McDowell (2-3), Ronan
Grant (1-2), Ciaran Trimble (1-1),
Orlaith Smith (1-0), Connor Cunningham
(0-3) and Sinead Grant (0-1).
The entire squad played well throughout
and defended well against a tough
St. Michael's team, well done
also to James Cunningham, Martin
McVeigh, Dean Murray, Niall Rooney,
Sarah Cunningham, Barry Beeks,
James McDowell, Shauneen McVeigh,
Amy Marks, Cailum McGrath and

this Sunday, 21st September, away
to Shamrocks B, throw in at 11.00am.
6 The U-8s also had a busy weekend,
with a tournament in Rostrevor
on Saturday. The squad had a good
tournament, winning through to
the Semi-Final where they were
unfortunate to lose out to Teconnaught.

O'Hare, Orlaigh Smith, Katy Smith,
