Club Notes: 12th of April 2015
Donegal Footballers:
Hard luck to the Donegal Senior footballers in their defeat to Cork in Croke Park on Sunday in the Division 1 semi-final clash against Cork.
Donegal Hurlers:
Mixed emotions for the Donegal Hurlers in their draw against Tyrone on Saturday. The team has to do it all over again in a replay in order to avoid relegation. There was solid displays from Jamsie Donnelly, Del Laverty and Lee Henderson. Best of luck in the replay at the weekend.
Senior Team Football Result:
A weakened Sean Mac Cumhaill’s team travelled to St. Mary’s in Convoy to take on Termon on Saturday evening. With both clubs unbeaten in their first two outings this was sure to be a thrilling game. With 6 forced changes to the Mac Cumhaill’s team that won the first two games it was always going to be a tough charge but the narrowest of margins in the end saw the Termon side go home with the 2 points.
Full Time Score: Sean MacCumhaill’s – 2.12 Termon – 1.18
Sean Mac Cumhaills: Christopher Patton, Eoin Wright, Marty Gallagher, Ronan McMenamin, Gerard Grindle, Joe Dunnion, Andrew McCloskey, Shane Duffy, Brian Patton, Aaron Kelly, Brian Lafferty, Chris Gallen, Stephen Mulligan, Gary Mc Girr, Darren O’Leary
Substitutions: Alan Patton for Brian Lafferty
Scorers:
Darren O’Leary (1.05), Aaron Kelly (1.01), Stephen Mulligan (0.03), Barney Lafferty (0.01), Chris Gallen (0.01), Shane Duffy (0.01)
Reserve Team Football Result:
Our reserve team also played Termon in Convoy on Saturday evening. In a similar margin of defeat to the senior team saw a final score of Sean Mac Cumhaills 2.08 to Termon 2.11.
U-16 Boy’s Football Results:
Our u16’s had two league games in the past week. On Tuesday they travelled to Letterkenny to compete in the fourth round of the under 16 League where they defeated Letterkenny Gaels. Sean Mac Cumhaill’s 4-12 Letterkenny Gaels 1-10.
On Thursday they made the short trip to the crossroads to take on Red Hugh’s in the fifth round game. Mac Cumhaills ended up comfortable winners and maintain a 100% record in the league; this game was played in a sporting nature against a very young Red Hughs team. Our final game in this section will be against Robert Emmets, venue and date yet to be decided.
U-14 Hurling Result:
Our u14’s had two league games in the past week with home games against Ballyshannon and Dungloe. They continued their remarkable start to the season with another victory against a very much fancied Ballyshannon team at Mac Cumhaill Park on Tuesday evening with a scoreline of Sean Mac Cumhaill’s: 3-10 – Ballyshannon: 2.04.
The hurlers then continued where they left off on Tuesday evening with another outstanding victory against favourites Dungloe on Thursday night in St. Columba’s. The lads came out winners on a scoreline of Sean Mac Cumhaill’s 7-10 Dungloe 0.04. They have a break now until their next game on Thursday which is an away trip to Setanta.
