Emmet Reserves! On Monday night the Emmets Reserve team made the journey to Truagh for the quarter–final of the “Platinum Tanks” McKeown Cup. Short a few regulars through one thing or another; it was good to see a fairly strong side take the field. The game was entertaining and the Emmets led all the way until two minutes to go when the home side equalised with the score 0-12 for the Emmets to 2-06 for Truagh. As time played out; the last offering from the Emmets produced a winning point which was enough to see them proceed to the semi-final stage. A good work-rate probably helped the Emmets to victory while at the same time putting the opposing under shooting pressure which resulted in some scoring opportunities being wasted. However; given the overall scenario the Emmets just about deserved the win and thirteen points was a good indicator of their ability to take some lovely points. Emmets: Robbie Honney; Ferdia Holland; Adrian McCluskey; Padraig Marron; Adam Waller; David Eakin; Paddy Larney; John G Conlon; Kevin O’Hanlon; Jamie Gartlan; Ciaran Ward; Ryan Carolan; Ritchie Cromwell; Blain McEneaney; Sean Downey: Subs: Padraig Rafferty and Fergal McDermott:
Emmets Lotto! The draw for a jackpot of €6,000 was held in the Emmet Centre on Monday night when the numbers drawn were 14, 19, 25 and 27. There were no matching numbers so the Jackpot rises to €6100 this week. The following are the “Keep it Local Vouchers” €50 Noel (Nallo) McNally; €20 Ed Hearn €20 Ursula Brean €10 Peter Finnegan. Thanks to the sellers on Saturday night and to the people that have the club through their generosity.
The Young Emmets! At the weekend the under 14 (Division 2) team accounted for local rivals Magheracloone by a comfortable margin in the fourth round of the league. The result sees them “top the table” with six points from four games. The Division 5 team played their fifth round in their league and they turned out much too strong for a gallant Scotstown side who gave everything! They too stand proudly on top of the table with full points from four games; both games were played on the new grounds on the Donaghmoyne Road and both teams played some attractive football and keep improving with each game!
