Saul Notes - May 16th 2006

Saul GAC Club Notes for week of May 15th 2006
 

• Teams  Roundup
   

  • Seniors - the senior team took on both Glassdrumman and Saval away from home over the last week unfortunately returning pointless from those encounters. Against Glassdrumman, the  game was very much up for grabs and it was point for point throughout with the home side grabbing the crucial deciding goal late in the first half which ultimately proved the difference. In Saval on Friday night, the Saul backline was taunted time after time by an on-form Danny Hughes returning after helping Down overturn Cavan last week.
     

  • Reserves - the reserves had a disappointing 2nd outing in the league with defeat at home to a resurgent Darragh Cross outfit and will be looking for a good turnout at training this week to turn the season around.
     

  • U16's - the U16's overturned Ardglass in Ardtole for a resounding win which extends their winning run to 3 in a row after their defeat to Bright in the opening league game.
     

  • U14's - the U14's travelled to Dromara and returned without the league points
     

  • The U14 Girls welcomed a very young Bright side to Saul and were delighted to win their 2nd match after defeat in Carryduff the weekend before. From goalkeeper to forward line and to all 8 substitutes entering the game, the team is starting to play with a fluency and drive in their first year of league competition. The winning Saul team included Chloe McEvoy, Caoimhe Hayes, Roisin Sloan, Orla Kearney, Shona McLaughlin, Lisa McMullan, Rachel Curran, Tara Laverty, Clodagh Keeling, Catherine Hamilton, Natalia Hynds, Shannon Fitzsimons, Grainne Laverty and Sarah McVeigh, Niamh McMullan, Katie McMullan, Abbey Kearney, Eimear Jennings, Orla Holland, Katie Bohill, Catherine Polly. For a hard working Bright side, Gemma Toner and Jenniffer Tempaney stood out.
     

• Committee Meeting
   

  • There will be a meeting of the full Saul GAC committee on Thursday night at 8pm in the clubrooms. All committee members are asked to attend.
     

• Red and Black Stars
   

  • Congratulations to all of Sauls representatives on various Down squads over the last few weeks. Chris Mullan was on the Down U16 Development squad which took on Antrim last week and Chris Fitzsimons faced Tyrone last Saturday for the U17's. The girls also are playing their part with Rachel Curran and Tara Laverty starring for the Down U14 team which after a great run lost at the semi-final stage to Roscommon in the All-Ireland Blitz on Saturday last. The future looks bright for these players - well done to the players; your club is fully behind each of you.
