St John’s
Notes
18th July 2007
|
Our
festival was a great success over the weekend
in spite of the changeable weather. Many thanks
to all our patrons and of course to all those
who have worked so hard behind the scenes.
Our camogs were the only team
in league action last week with a rescheduled
home fixture against An Riocht last Wednesday.
We managed a convincing win (8-14 v 2-05) which
makes it six wins out of seven with an away
defeat in Portaferry being the only blip. There
is only one league game left now - away to Newry
Shamrocks on Wednesday 8th August. After that
attention will turn to the championship. We
have a bye in the opening round and will play
either Liatroim or Mayobridge on Sunday 19th
August.
Our Ladies Footballers return
to league action on Saturday when they travel
to Rostrevor. That would have been the last
league game but there are fixtures with Ardglass
(home) and Teconnaught (away) to be rescheduled.
Our Senior Footballers had
a run out in the Connolly Cup last Thursday.
We had a bright first half which saw us taken
a 0-5 v 0-4 lead but Ardglass dominated the
second period and won 2-06 v 0-06 in the end.
We have four league games left; at home to St
Michael’s (scheduled for Monday 23rd)
away to Dromara (scheduled for Friday 27th),
at home to Aughlisnafin (Monday 30th) and at
home to Aghaderg (to be arranged). Keep an eye
on the papers in case there are any changes
to these scheduled dates. The opening round
of the championship is scheduled for Tuesday
14th August but we have a bye before taking
on Bright in the quarter-final.
Our reserves should be at home
to Dundrum this Sunday and away to Darragh Cross
on Sunday 29th.
Our under-16s will travel to
St Joseph’s in the B Championship quarter-final.
This was initially scheduled for next Tuesday
but will be played on Saturday 28th.
Our under-14s’ postponed
game at home to Downpatrick has been rescheduled
for tomorrow (Thu 19th). We travel to Bredagh
on Thursday 26th and then play Bredagh again
in the A Championship semi-final on Saturday
4th August.
Our under-12s travel to Darragh
Cross this Sunday and then host Liatroim on
Sunday week. The weekend after that should be
busy as we hope to take part in the Castlewellan
tournament on Saturday 4th and then travel to
St Paul’s on Sunday 5th.
Our under-10s will be sending
a team to the Pat Doyle Memorial blitz in Liatroim
this Saturday (21st). Training for all our under-10s
and under-8s will resume on Wednesday 25th.
It is important that there is a full turnout
that day as the next East Down Blitz is the
following Saturday (28th July) when we travel
to Drumaness. Under-8s training is from 6.00
- 7.00 pm with the under-10s following from
7.00 – 8.00pm.
We will be hosting a Cúl
Camp from 20th to 24th August. Application forms

yet returned their POC background check forms
should do so asap. Those who have mislaid the
