Aughnamullen Notes

Reserves: The Reserves remain unbeaten in the Reserve League after a comprehensive victory over Eire Og. This was an excellent victory from start to finish and credit is owed to the players and management. In the first half they started lively and scored a goal scored by David Shevlin and points by Colin Clerkin(2), however Eire Og gradually got into their stride and a couple of fine scores left them trailing by 3 but a couple of fine scores by Patrick Sheridan,  Edmond Mc Ardle(2) and a rare score by midfielder Lee Conlan left the score at half time 1-06 to 1-03. Into the second half a goal by the aforementioned Mc Ardle and couple of scores by Clerkin and veteran Mark Meegan left the game comfortable another goal by substitute Niall Keenan and more scores followed with another goal by James Keenan left the final score of 4-14 to 1-06 in favour of the away side.  Next game is at home to Rockcorry this Saturday night at 7pm. All support welcome.

Minors: The Minors commenced the league on Tuesday night last where they were beaten by a more clinical Latton side. Playing against the elements they had a horrible start where they conceded 2 early goals and in all honesty never really recovered from this start and at half time were 7 points down 2-6 to 0-5. In the second half they battled hard but found the Latton defence to hard to handle and at the end try as hard as they could they went down by 10 points 2-14 to 0-10. Next game is on Tuesday next at home to Inniskeen at 7pm. All support welcome.

Aughnamullen Ladies and  the Aughnamullen  Juvenile committee: 

 Aughnamullen Ladies and  the Aughnamullen  Juvenile committee would like to thank all who supported our “5 Card Poker Game” fundraiser last Saturday night, without your support it would not have  been  such  a  success.

We would also like everyone who helped out on the night it was much appreciated and everyone who baked buns, made sandwiches and cakes for our refreshments.

We would like to thank our local parishioners, people who travelled from Dundalk, Silverbridge and Cavan.  A big thank you to Paddy McCabe whom was very sharp on every detail in playing the game and supplying the chips and rules of the game.

Finally thank you to our generous sponsors which are too numerous to mention and we do not want to leave anyone out, but you know who you are, for donated spot prizes on the night for our raffle. Thank you to John Hamilton, Patrick Duffy, Pete Keenan and Owen Bannigan whom without them suggesting this fundraiser for the Ladies and the Juveniles both boys and girls and the money raised will go to much needed equipment for our juveniles which will be up and running again at the end of April.
