Minors: Well done to our minor Division One team for qualifying for the championship semi-finals with a home win over Clontibret last Saturday. Needing to win by at least six points on the day, our lads were six clear at the end of an entertaining first half (4-4 to 0-10), courtesy of two goals each from John McCrystal and Orrin Doherty. Clontibret made a strong start to the second half, but John added another well-taken goal to his tally and with Jack Lynch and Ethan McCaffrey adding points, our lads sealed a good win on a scoreline of 5-12 to 1-14. The semi-final against Truagh is due to be played on Saturday week, October 5 (details TBC).

We would be so grateful if you could support your child in getting their sponsorship card filled card to the value of €60, which will entitle kids to a jersey. Training continues this Saturday at 10am in Gavan Duffy.

Last Saturday, around 15 of our juvenile players excitedly took part in a training session with players and coaches at the Tyrone GAA Garvaghey Centre. This was an amazing opportunity to learn new skills, tactics and techniques, but most of all, to have fun! Thanks to everyone involved.

GRMA also to the three referees (Paul, Colm and Martin) to all the sponsors for their support and to everyone who helped out or contributed to the raffle. Over €1,000 was raised for local charities. Commiserations to our U-16 girls and their management team who lost their championship final by the narrowest of margins.
