Thurs. 9.30. This is like CNN's rolling news....The U 16 Ahern Cup game takes place in Elphin on Sat. at 2.30 so it is a looped journey for the addicts.
Thurs. 8.30pm. I am informed that the U 21 game V Elphin is now in Croghan on Sat. at 4.30. I haven't heard if this has implications for the U 16 Ahern Cup game, also v Elphin, but I imagine it should logically as Dr. Spock might say.
The Late Late on Friday night is the final say for Ireland's Greatest and I am recommending votes for John Hume by texting Great -4 to 53125.
Also the Kellogs Field of Dreams for Kilglass has just 8 days to go so Seamus Nugent and Co. will be putting on ths final big push as they are leading. To vote for free online open Kellogs Field of Dreams/click on Kilglass/click on voting box and then enter your email address to register (I presume that is ok!) and you'll get instructions from there. Or vote by text to Kellogs Connacht to 52799. That is my last call on all that. Thank you in anticipation! T.
P.S. A friend of mine when asked why he wasn't on the Legend's Calendar replied: 'I didn't make the weight!'
11pm.
Lotto: The following were €20 winners at the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held in Creightons;- Joe Sweeney, Eileen and Gerry Callaghan, Nora Pat Stewart, Finola Doherty, Marie Lavin, Paul Condon, C. Wynne, J.P. Molloy, Fiona O'Grady and Ronald Moffatt. The house prize was won by Ashton Coles. The next draw will be held on Saturday night next with Team E (Pat Goldrick's) in charge. The jackpot will be €1,900.
The Feelystone junior team fell at the final hurdle on Sunday in Castlerea when they went down to a four point defeat to St Faithleach’s in the County Junior ‘B’ Final. While this team has had a number of very good performances this season this wasn’t one of them. Though Boyle started well and went into a four point to nil lead they lost their way subsequently with a good goal chance going a begging and at half time the scores were level at 4 points each. Things started evenly enough in the second half were another missed goal chance led to a leak of confidence. and St. Faithleach’s gradually took control taking the last five points to win by 10 points to 6. Well done to the management of David O'Connor, Bernie Shannon and Paul Beirne and the entire panel for their committment throughout the year. Thanks also to Feelystone for their continued sponsorship.
The U 21s’ secured a hard earned draw with Castlerea in the Division 1 Championship in Abbey Park on Saturday evening last. This means that their final group game against Elphin on Saturday next at Frenchpark at 5pm is a "must-win" match and scoring differences may become a factor.
The U16s’ will play their Ahern Cup game against Elphin as a curtain-raiser to the U 21 game-see fixtures for starting time.
Well done to all three Roscommon teams on their successes in the Connacht Club Championships on Sunday.
Congratulations to Boyle matriarch Mary Kate Hanmore who celebrated her 101st birthday at the weekend.
