A mixed week for the Senior team with a hard fought home win against Drumgath on Thursday and a narrow two point defeat away at Saul in atrocious conditions for both teams. The commitment , dedication and hard graft of both teams in these adverse conditions would have put many a "professional " sqaud to shame . We wish a speedy recovery to Conor McCArtan an d Sean McDowell from their current injuries . Baileghlas minors despite a great team effort and comitted display were defeated by CAstlewellan. They now take a well earned break for a few weeks. |The u-12 match due to be played on Sunday was postponed but u-12 training will continue on Wednesday evening from 6-45 until 7-45. Our thanks to those players and mentors who availed of the opportunity to attend the meet and greet with the County Senior Squad at Pairc Esler on Friday night. Our thanks to the County Board, management and players for the courtesy and kindness shown to all who attended .
Well done as well to the players from the club and members of Glasdrumman Pipe band who took part in this week's Climb for Conaill
Glasdrumman's U8's and U6's played host to Attical on Sunday last at St Mary's Park. This was the U8's second outing of the season, but for the U6's, this was the first and it gave them a chance to see what they could do after their training up to now. Up first was the U8's and both teams found the cross-field wind difficult to master, all the same, both teams showed great commitment but the scores were limited in this one. Peter Doran took up his customary position in goals, with Cáolam Smith, Nathan Brennan and Sé Rooney in defence. Mid-field saw the pairing of Jack McVeigh and Ollie Thompson, while in the forward line we had Eoghan Travers, Niall McCartan and the very impressive Aoife McComb.
Game two saw the turn of the U6's and a very entertaining game it turned out to be with football thrown from end to end and some well taken scores into the bargain. Well done to both teams. Glasdrumman team was: Blake Killen, Damien and Xavier Rooney, Connor McClelland, Daire Stevenson, George Thompson, Thomas and Amy Tiernan, Shea Daly, Ryan McCartan, Aidan Daly, Ríagan O Hare, Callum Travers and newcomer Alle McComb
Te U8's finished off proceedings again and this time both teams showed what they could really do and put on an excellent game of ootball with courage and skill. Young Eoghan Travers showed some great finishing skill with two well taken goals with left and right foot. Cáolam Smith then got in on the act with a cracking goal, giving Attical keeper no chance. Attical were not to be outdone and replied with some well taken goals. Niall McCartan for Glasdrumman bagged a brace of goals himself, with his second goal, a great bit of opportunism. The Attical keepers' attempted clearance, went straight to young Niall, who showed a "bit of class" when he cooly lobbed the ball back over the stranded keepers head and into the empty net. A goal out of the "Old Fellows Book" (Gerard). Well done again to both sets of players who showed great skill and discipline which did their clubs and mentors proud on the day. Looking forward to the return fixture. A Big Happy 40th to Nanny McPhee (Bronagh) from everyone lol. There will be no training this Sunday. U10's will travel to An Riocht on Monday 13th.
