Junior B Championship: Killucan 3-6 St.Malachy's 2-7
Well done to our Junior B team who got their championship campaign off to a winning start last Tuesday thanks to a last-gasp 3-6 to 2-7 victory at home to St.Malachy's.
Aaron Geoghegan proved to be the match winner as he palmed the ball to the back of the net, in the final minute of injury-time, after being set up brilliantly by Conor Borthwick.
Captain Darren Finn put in a fantastic performance and finished as our top scorer with 2-4. His 1st goal just before half-time helped us to a 2 point lead at the break as he finished to the back of the net after his penalty, which he earned after a brilliant run, had been saved.
Finn scored his 2nd goal in the 2nd half as he got on the end of a brilliant team move involving James Goonery and Aaron Ready.
Goalkeeper Gearoid Kavanagh made 2 excellent saves during the game which helped us to stay in the contest before Geoghegan's crucial, late intervention sealed a 2 point win.
Gearoid Kavanagh; Shane O'Malley, Liam Beddows, Mikey Boyle; Dean Swords, Conor McKeogh, Cian O'Connor; Theo Broderick, Kevin O'Keane; Aaron Geoghegan (1-0), Graham Flood, James Goonery (0-1); Jamie Carr, Darren Finn (2-4, 0-2 from frees), Aaron Ready.
Substitutes: Conor Borthwick for Flood, Sami Clarke (0-1, free) for Broderick, Colin McGee for O'Keane, Brian Smyth for Carr.
Well done to all involved last Sunday afternoon when our seniors faced Na Fianna (Meath) in Enfield in a hard-fought challenge game.
Our lads gave everything and were unlucky to lose out to a last minute goal.
Lorcan Treanor; Shane O'Malley, Luke Darby, Paddy Kelly; Colin McGee, Gavin Flood, Dean Swords; Joseph Cronin, Conor Borthwick; Jamie Carr, Graham Flood, Jack Duignan; Sean Scally, Aaron Geoghegan, Mark Casserly.

Lotto
The lotto is on sale in local shops and is now available online by either downloading the Clubforce app and selecting Killucan or by pressing the shop now button on our Facebook page.
There was no winner of our lotto jackpot held on June 14. Veronica Rooney and Deirdre Dardis matched 3 numbers and won €100 each. The promoter's prize went to Hillary Mullen. Numbers drawn were 10, 20, 24 and 30.
This week's draw is at the clubhouse for a jackpot of €12,800. The funds raised from the lotto goes towards the running of the club.
All support is greatly appreciated!!!!
Membership
The GAA have launched Foireann.ie. It is a combination of their membership database and the Return to Play App we all had to use last year for Covid and which we will be using again once we get back. For all new players we will be having a registration morning within Covid guidelines but for all existing kids we want to get everyone registering online with Foireann. The log-in details are the same as you would have used last year. If you forget any of the details you can reset them by entering your e-mail address from last year. This is for registering players to the mens/boys club. Killucan Ladies will be registering their players separately as they are affiliated to a separate organisation.
Membership can also be paid to any of our committee members.
Prices:
Adult Player €60
Juvenile Player U7 - U17 €30
Family Membership €60
Social (Non-playing) Membership €30
Community Mental Health Campaign
Our Killucan GAA, LGFA, Raharney Hurling & Camogie Clubs, are joining forces to bring together a Community Mental Health Campaign.
The first aim of our Mental Health Campaign is to create visual awareness within our communities in Rathwire, Killucan and Raharney.
Our local primary schools in Edmonton, Raharney and Rathwire have been creating posters with positive messages about Mental Health. Check out any of our social media platforms to have a look at their creative pieces of art.
Our Mental Health Working Group has been busy deciding on a slogan. “I have your back” is our message.
If you are interested in getting involved or helping out in any way, please contact Alan Core on 087 271 8640.
Advertising Opportunities
Spaces are now available around our pitch where you can sponsor a sign and have your company's logo advertised.
There are 3 and 5 year deals available.
For more information contact any of our committee members or e-mail [email protected].
