Mixed week for Kilglass Gaels.
Mixed week for Kilglass Gaels.
April 16, 2012
Games: It was a mixed week on the field with 4 games down for
decision. The Junior mens team were beaten by a stronger & better
Catlerea team in Tarmonbarry on Saturday last. Although beign 7 points
behind at half time 2 quick goals in the second alf brought us back on
track. But the Castlerea lads drove on from there and and ran out
winners in the end. The senior ladies took to the field for their
first competitive game of the year against Kilbride under new manager
Tommy Donoghue. The two teams met on Good Friday in a challenege &
Kilglass ran out easy winners but this would be different. Although
missing a number of key players kilglass were well in the game and
played well but the spoils were to be shared as the teams finished
level on 2-8 each. The u16 girls were next with their co semi final
against Shannon Gaels and this was to be a miss match if ever there
was one as the Croghan ladies were simply too strong for our girls on
the day. As this now brings their championship to a close we thank the
team and managment for their effoert during the year. The minor boys
finished off the weekend with a massive win over kilmore in the
league. These two teams always serve up greta games but our lads were simply too good for the lads on the day.
