CROANS After the hectic nature of last weekend a calm descended on the club this weekend and as a result the only team in action were the U-12’s. They travelled to Loughglynn to play Eire Óg on Sunday evening and despite a spirited first half performance and a fine penalty save from goalkeeper Nathan Cook, Eire Óg’s superiority came through in the second half and they were convincing winners. The intermediates are due to commence their Championship campaign against Ballinameen next weekend. Please check the fixtures for time and venue. Next weekend the lotto will be promoted by Miko Kenny, Martin Keane and Dominic McDonnell in Ballintubber and John Collins and Tommy Timothy in Ballymoe. ST DOMNICS It’s down to business this week when we play Eire Og in the Intermediate Championship in Knockcroghery at 2pm.

The club is grateful to Jim Gaffney and Claire Grimes for their huge efforts in organising the event and making it a success. Our intermediated drew with Eire Og in the league last weekend. There will be no game next weekend. We need a win in our final league game against Castlerea to avoid relegation. All players will be expected to train this week.
