St John's Notes 15th August 2007
|
Our camogie
team won their final league game away to Newry
Shamrocks last week (1-00 v 2-11). With seven
wins out of eight we are guaranteed at least
runners-up spot - not bad for a newly promoted
team. They might even get a play-off but that
possibility depends on the results of other
matches. Our next outing is in the championship
against the winners of last week’s opening
round tie between Liatroim and Mayobridge. This
game is now scheduled for Sunday 26th August,
one week later than originally planned.
Our seniors were able to sit
back and watch the other first round junior
championship matches yesterday as we had a bye.
We know that our quarter-final opponents will
be Bright (who also got a bye). These games
will probable be played towards the end of the
month. We are at home to Aghaderg on Friday
(17th) in our final league game.
Our reserves will be back in
action on Sunday (19th) when they play Down
Seniors in the championship. Postponed league
games against Liatroim, Bryansford and Dundrum
(all at home) and Castlewellan (away) may be
rearranged.
Our Ladies Footballers have
completed the scheduled league season with only
outstanding games to be played – at home
to Ardglass and away to Rostrevor and Teconnaught.
The team are also looking forward to their championship.
Our minors’ home league
game against Downpatrick was moved from last
Wednesday to Monday past. We still have to travel
to Downpatrick and Burren and entertain Bryansford.
Our under-16s were beaten by
St Joseph’s in Dundrum last week. We were
at home to Saul yesterday (Tue 14th) and travel
to Darragh Cross next week. That leaves a home
game against Kilclief to come.
Our under-14s had a bye last
week and are at home to Bryansford this Thursday
(16th). Congratulations to Ryan Gordon, Darren
Burns, Martin Keenan and Hugh Flanagan who have
been selected for the under-14 school of excellence.
The scheduled under-12 Go Games
season ended with a bye on Sunday for our under-12s,
but their season may be far from over. The games
against Drumaness, home and away, and away to
Darragh Cross were all postponed for one reason
or another but hopefully the fixtures will be
played at some stage.
Our under-10s are still working
hard ahead of their next Go Games Blitz in September.
This will be hosted by St John’s.
The Cúl Camp commences
next week, from 20th to 24th. Please don’t
delay in getting your application to Caroline
McKay or Kevin McGlynn.
There were four £10 winners
in last week’s lottery when the numbers
were 7, 10, 11 and 25. The jackpot stands at
£1,950.
Don’t forget to collect
your plates and pots from the successful Guest
Tea last month.
The next management committee
is on Monday 20th at 9.00pm. At the last meeting
we agreed wholeheartedly to send a letter of
support to Darren Graham of Lisnaskea Emmetts.
We extend our sympathy to the
family and friends of Jackie Mooney on their
recent bereavement.
