AUGHADRUMSEE
Congratulations to Corranny PS girls' team and mentors who reached the Mini 7 final at Lissan last week. The girls displayed a superb skill and determination all day and were only pipped to the title by one point by Kinawley. Well done, girls! You did your school and club proud. The U-16 girls played Derrylin away last week. After a great first half, the girls led at half-time only for the home team to produce a strong come-back in the second half. Keep up the effort girls and the results will come. The U-14 league is due to begin next Monday, so all girls should be training on Thursday at 7pm.
The senior team travelled to Irvinestown last Friday and, despite an improved display, lost out to the home side 3-9 to 0-8. Best wishes go to Peter Phair who was injured during the game.
The junior team defeated Derrygonnelly on Saturday evening at home 1-13 to 1-11. This was a good win with Paul Faux and Ciaran Flynn, solid in defence, Daryl Boyle notching the goal and Darren Durnian recording some neat points. Karl Woods was excellent in goals, pulling off some top drawer saves. The juniors travel to Derrylin on Saturday.
There will be a committee meeting tonight, Wednesday, 14th May at 9.00 pm. The club host a minor play-off between Newtown and Brookeboro tonight at 7.30 pm, so help is needed to cater for this fixture. The minor boys face Coa in the play-off.
