North Board Championship Semi-final - Leaving Certs!


Hard luck to Na Gleannta

Hard luck to Na Gleannta minor team who lost out to Caltra in the North Board Championship semi-final last week. This was a game that was hard fought with both sides struggling to pull away from the other with the result in doubt  right up to the final whistle.  Na Gleannta suffered a set back early in the 1st half when both Mickie Fox and Nigel Fahy, two key players, were forced to go off due to injury. At half time Caltra led 0-4 to 0-3 with the Na Gleannta scores coming from Keith Davis. Throughout the game many players featured for Na Gleannta but the "man of the match" performance was given by Peter Lohan for his skillful defensive play.   Superb free taking by Keith Davis from almost impossible angles could not go unnoticed but unfortunately Caltra were stronger and the game ended on a scoreline of Caltra 0-7 Na Gleannta 0-5.
Thanks to the panel of players who put in such a huge effort to reach this point in the competition and we are very proud of them all. Thanks also to the management team of Paddy Joyce, Cathal Dowd, David Burke and Michael Curtin  and to all who supported the team.

Team : Brendan Smith, Paddy Kelly, Peter Lohan, James Burke, Ross Connolly, Anthony Comer, Ben Conneally, Michael Fox, Fergal Dowd, Cormac Raftery, Keith Davis 0-5, Gerard Nolan, Stephen Fox, Nigel Fahy and Mark Conneally. Subs Used : Cathal Hynes, Peter T Keaveney, Jonathan Mannion and Eoin Keady.

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.

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 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

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.
