Coolera-Strandhill BNN.
The club ran a very successful fundraiser last weekend which proved to be
very worthwhile. Many thanks to Rose Cawley and all of her helpers who did
trojan work over the few days.Thanks also to all the people who made
donations and to the adults who helped out.

Comment : While the bag packing  was very success financially it was very dissapointing for the 
few Adults who turned up to be left with all the responsibility. Also Greater effort is need if these fundraising v  e ntires are to reach their full potential. The income could have been greatly increased if a few more ( Adults and Players) took the time to help out.

Some of our local Hurling stars took part in the Joe Cooney school of Hurling last summer. This provrd very worthwhile and enjoyable fro the participants. This year we are fortunate in that Joe will be making the trip to Ransboro for a Coaching Day for all the young hurlers of the area next week. More details next week.

Well done to under -16 player Damien Gildea on a very fine performance in the All-Ireland Shot Putt competition in Nenagh at the week-end. Hard luck to Damhain McFadden who had qualified the All-Ireland 60m race and had great chance of success but unfortunately picked up an injury and could not compete.

Four of our players, Luke Bree, Roger Leahy, Niall Quinn and Donncha Sheridan helped out in a great performance by the local rugby team to defeat a fancied Ballina team on Sunday in the semi-final of the Connaught Cup. Best of luck in the Final.

Well done also to all the competitor who took part in the Community games Basketball last Saturday and good luck to the two U- 13 teams in the semi-finals this weekend.

The Suumerhill team had a good win over St Muredachs in the schools semi-final and are now through to the final against St Jarlaths. Well done and good luck to Michael McDermott, Damien Gildea and the other lads from the area who are on the panel.

The Girls U 14 team played Grange least week and recorded a very good win. This was a very good team performance with the usual players dominating the game.

The U-12 girls were due to play Eastern harps on Monday evening last - report next week-

 

Under 12 Boys played their second match last Tuesday at Ransboro Park with Curry providing a formidable opposition. A great game of football was served up by both teams with Curry taking advantage of the wind in the first half and looking very confident at half time. The local team had other ideas for the second half and really took the game to the opposition. There was some excellent play throughout the second half with a very exciting finish to the game. The ball was moved up and down the field with speed and accuracy and with both teams scoring right up to the final whistle . The end result was a share of the spoils with a draw which was a fair result on the evenings performance. The management an be proud of the excellent performance by all the .team.

The U-16 Boys played Eastern Harps in Keash on Friday evening last. This was a tough game of football but the home team had the upper hand for most of the game and were always on top on trhe scoreboard. Our team tried hard to compete in the first half and had a few good spells but unfortunately not enough to make a difference to the result. Harps started well in the second half but Coolera-Strandhill fought back well and did manage to get on top play wise towards the end of the second half. We had the the majority of possession in the last quarter and got some fine scores but were a bit unlucky not to be rewarded with a goal and a few more points.

The Minor team were due to play Eastern Harps on Monday evening last.

Senior Team.

The club has had a senior Football Team since

In recent times it is one of the top clubs in the county and with a little bit of luck could have been county Champions but unfortunately this is not the case.

With the present squad of players the team is capable of beating any of the other teams in the county.
