We are back in championship action again on Saturday when we face Roscommon Gaels in the Quarter-Final in Enfield at 6pm. We would encourage as much support as possible at the game. Best of luck to all involved.
Junior Team
The Devine & Co Chartered Accountants sponsored Junior team ended their Div 3 league campaign with a hard fought draw against our neighbours Ballinameen in vert wet conditions on saturday evening last. Ballinameen were the better side in the opening half and they were 0-07 to 0-01 ahead at the break but to their credit the Gaels battled back in the 2nd half to get within 3 with some good pointed frees from Conor Sampey and Dylan Kennedy. Ballinameen struck for a goal against the run of play to put between the teams again at 1-08 to 0-05 but Western Gaels dominated the final 12 minutes of the game and got back level with a well taken goal from Ian O Reilly but it took a long range free from Conor Samoey in the 3rd minute of injury time to ensure the Gaels got a shire of the spoils on the day on a final scorleine of Western Gaels B 1-09 Ballinameen 1-09. We finished 2nd in the table so we face a semi final playoff against Ballinameen to see who gets promoted to Division 2 for 2017.
Team: A Hardiman, C Dowd, A Freyne, J Brady, J Devine, D McGarry(0-1), O Madden, Noel Higgins. S Carroll, C Casserley, C Sampey(0-5,3f), L Mahon, D Ryan, J Higgins, D Kennedy(0-3f). Subs: T Devine, O Ward, I O Reilly(1-0), D Cafferkey.
