Nursery Programme:

On Saturday the 1st of September in lismamult the nursery group were joined by there family and friends to show off the skills that they worked for previous 20 training sessions. 

 

The lads were presented with jerseys kindly sponsored by DNA logistics (thanks Deirdre)which hopefully will be the first of many

Gaels jerseys to be worn by these young footballers for years to come. 

 

On behalf of the coaches we would to thank all involved throughout the year on making it what we hoped was a successful introduction to Roscommon Gaels and the GAA while keeping it a fun environment for the lads.

After discussion with the u8 management we would like to invite all lads born in 2012 to u8 training on Saturday the 15th of September in lismamult at 10am.The aim is to introduce the nursery group to an  u8 environment for the final 4/5 u 8 training sessions.

U9 and U10 Football:

Our U9 & U10’s took part in a tournament hosted by St Mary’s GAA Club, Rochfortbridge. We had three teams involved. Our u9’s won the Cup and our two u10 teams played out the Shield final.

All enjoyed the day.

Pictured our the U9 and U10 teams that took part in the Tournament hosted by St Mary’s.

 

U12 Football:

Our U12's had a busy week.

Last Saturday (1st) we had 38 players taking part in a tournament hosted by Corofin with teams taking part from Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Westmeath and ourselves from Roscommon. It was a great experience for the lads.

 

Next up on Monday our Div 1 team had a good win in a great battle with Clann Na nGael. On Thursday evening the same team were out again versus St. Dominic s but on this occasion we went down to a good Dominics side. Finally today, our Div 5 side put in a good performance in overcoming St.Ronans.

 

Next up is training on Thursday evening as usual and then both teams play their Western Gaels counterparts at lunchtime on Saturday in Lisnamult. 

 

 

 

U14 Football :

Our Reserve lads performed well last Thursday evening against St Dominics narrowly losing out on a score line of 6.8 to 6.6.  

 

Our Div 1 lads play Strokestown on Friday evening next in Lisnamult (7pm) in a playoff to decide who reaches the U14 County Final. 

 

Minor Football:

Our minor team drew with St. Dominics in Round 5 of the championship in Lisnamult on a score line of 1-11 to 2-8. St. Dominics were the better team in the first half and deservedly led by 5 points at half time. The Gaels were much improved in the second half and put in a great performance to secure a deserved draw. We play Elphin in Lisnamult on Thursday next.

 

Senior Football:  Our Tommy Connolly sponsored Senior team moved up to second place in the Senior Football Championship Division One table this evening, following their 8-point win over Strokestown at Faithleach’s.

A Cian Connolly Penalty in the 8th-minute helped Roscommon Gaels to open up a 3-point lead (1-1 to 0-1). Within the opening Five minutes of the second-half, James O’Gara registered a goal with a neat finish to the Strokestown net. Peter Gilooly was added to the Gaels attack and was unlucky his goal didn’t click but managed to kick a score later. Mark Nally, Richard Hughes, Cathal Dinneen and Mark Healy helped Roscommon Gaels to keep in touch with well-worked points, but in addition to their contribution it was Cian Connolly who kept the scoreboard ticking away scoring 2 Points from Play 2 frees and a Penalty. 

After suffering defeat to Clann Na Gael early in the Championship and a draw with Boyle last week, The Gaels bounced back this evening with a morale-boosting victory over Strokestown.  Final Score Roscommon Gaels 2-11 Strokestown 0-09.

Roscommon Gael’s will now face last years County Champions St Brigid’s in their next scheduled championship game on Sunday September 16th.

 

Many thanks to everyone in St Faithleach’s for their hospitality on this evening and for having the pitch in such great condition.
