U14 Boys

Our U14 boys drew with Loughrea; the game ending with both teams on 1-9. We led 1-5 to 0-3 at half time, but failed to capitalise on this in the 2nd half, allowing Loughrea to take control of the game. A free from Michael Geary levelled the game.

U16 Boys

Well done to our U16 boys who had a 4-11 to 1-2 victory over Menlough.

Na Gleannta Minors

Na Gleannta minor team lost to Killererin on Wednesday evening last. This was a disappointing game where we failed to dominate at any stage!

Glenamaddy Intermediates

Our Intermediate Team got off to a poor start in the 1st round of the championship when they were beaten 1-15 to 0-5 by a much fitter and stronger Menlough team. Menlough took control of the game from the start and Glan struggled to get the ball into the Menlough half of the pitch early on in the game. Menlough led 0-8 to 0-2 at half time having used the following breeze to their advantage. In the 2nd half Glan failed to make good use of the breeze and for quite a lot of the time were in disarray on the pitch and only managing to add 3 more points to the score board! Overall this was a very disappointing team performance.
Team: Dereck Miskell, Patrick Conneally, Aidan Geraghty, Antony Comer, Keith Cunniffe, Aaron Hynes, Damien Miskell, Shane Mannion, Fionan Keady, Luke Conneally, Barry Conneely 0-1, Sean Conneally 0-2, Barry Curtin, Martin Conneally 0-1, Keith Davis, Subs Used Michael Molloy 0-1, Aidan Hanley, Michael Gibbons.

Our Intermediate footballers lost to Williamstown on Saturday 28th in the 2nd round of the championship having led 1-4 to 0-4 at half time with a breeze on our backs. During the 1st half we lost Michéal Molloy and Aaron Hynes to injury and this had a major impact on our overall performance in the 2nd half of the game. We failed to score in the 2nd half and the game ended with a scoreline of 0-9 to 1-4 in favour of Williamstown. We wish Michaél Molloy and Aaron Hynes a speedy recovery and congratulate Nigel Fahy on his debut game in Intermediate Championship football.

w/e 24th April 2011 ...

U14 Boys

w/e 1st May

Na Gleannta Minor Team

Congratulations to the Na Gleannta minor team who had a 3-14 to 2-11 victory over Headford last week. Headford led 2-6 to 1-5 at the break after having dominated the 1st half. In the 2nd half Na Gleannta took control and played with the belief that they were capable of winning this game; and two goal opportunities taken by Mark Conneally helped ensure victory for Na Gleannta. Some fine point scoring from Keith Davis and Michael Fox and great defensive play from Peter Lohan enabled Na Gleannta to eventually run out comfortable winners. Impressive play from the younger players like James Burke, Peter T Keaveney, Ben Conneally, Paddy Kelly and Nigel Fahy gave the supporters lots to cheer about. Thanks to Liam Glynn who took on the role of goal keeper at short notice. This was a great team performance and heartening for the future.
Team : Liam Glynn, Paddy Kelly, Peter Lohan, James Burke, Ross Connolly, Ben Conneally, Stephen Fox, Fergal Dowd 0-1, Nigel Fahy, Gerard Nolan, Keith Davis 0-9, Mark Conneally 2-1, Lewis Mulhearn, Michael Fox 1-2, Peter T Keaveney, Subs used Chris Collins 0-1, Liam Burke.

Glenamaddy Intermediates

The Intermediate Team played St. Brendans in the 3rd round of the league with both teams finishing on a score of 1-9 each. We led 0-4 to 0-3 at half time but from the start of the 2nd half neither team were really able to take control. This was a game that failed to produce any great football moves with both sides making mistakes. A draw probably the fairest result in the end!
Team: Dereck Miskell, Patrick Conneally, Aidan Geraghty, Anthony Comer, Keith Cunniffe 0-1, Aaron Hynes 0-2, Damien Miskell, Shane Mannion, Fionan Keady, Luke Giblin 0-1, Michael Geraghty, Sean Conneally, Barry Curtin 0-1, Thomas Curtin 1-4, Keith Davis. Subs Used : Martin Conneally, Luke Conneally, Barry Conneally and Michael Gibbons. Robert Molloy, Anthony Divilly, Walter Burke.

U14 Boys

Congratulations to our U14 boys who had a 5-3 to 4-5 victory over Oranmore in the League. Well done to all concerned.
