THE DOWNS GAA NOTES

 

ACL DIVISION 5

                        The Downs                         St Josephs

                               2-9                                                4-4

 

Our third team suffered a disappointing one point defeat to St Joseph’s in Streamstown on Saturday night last. What proved to be our downfall was the concession of two early goals in the first half and then the concession of two more goals early on in the second half at a point in the game when we were attempting to gain control.  We fought back from a ten point deficit to the minimum but time ran out on us.  There was however a few encouraging displays and if players learn from the outing we should return to winning ways in our next game.

Team: Sean Carroll, Colm Corroon, Paul Rowan, Stephen O’Hara, Karl Gaye, Thomas Smith, Anthony Corroon, Paul Shanley, Mark Leavy, Martin Egerton, Kieran Carroll, Mark Monaghan, Pat Leavy, Ronan Colgan, Matt Maguire.

Subs: Joseph O’Brien, Paul Egerton, Johnny Murray.

 

Underage Training:

Training continues for Under 14’s & 16’s on Tuesday nights and for Under 8’s. 10’s & 12’s on Friday nights.  There was a huge improvement in numbers at training in the last week and we hope to see this trend continue.

 

Golf Classic:

We will be holding our Annual Golf Classic in Castlebarna Golf Club, Daingean on Saturday 10th June.  This has traditionally been a great day out for all who take part, with great prizes on offer.  This is now only days away and all interested teams should contact John Joe Monaghan or Joe Burke for their teeing off time.

 

Scor Concert:

There was a Scor Concert in the Clubhouse on Saturday night last, with numerous Leinster and All-Ireland winning acts taking part. We compliment all participants on a great nights entertainment. All proceeds on the night went go to local charities.

 

Lucky Numbers:

Numbers drawn were 8, 10, 15 & 20, with no winner of IR£800 Jackpot.  Winners  of £50 prizes were Clodagh Clarke c/o Rita Conroy and Catherine Doyle, Marlinstown.  We thank The Downs Inn for hosting the draw.
