Our minor amalgamation Colmcille/Clonbroney were well beaten by  Granard/Ballymore on Monday 3rd in the semi-final of the B Championship.  The final score in this game was Granard/Ballymore 4-14, Colmcille/Clonbroney 1-11.  Our U 13’s travelled to Mostrim on Friday evening last where we played Wolfe Tones  in this new competition and we had a good win in this game.  Training for the U/13’s will continue as arranged by the managers.  Our juvenile amalgamation had a challenge game also on Friday evening last against Carrigallen in Carrigallen and we were well beaten in this match.  The underage blitz’s appear to be over for this season and thanks to all who helped out at all these games.  The Fr. Manning Cup U/16 Football Tournament gets underway on Wednesday 12th in Longford Slashers.  This will be held on a blitz basis and we wish the Longford team and our representatives on the panel Barry, Mark, Ross and Conor  the best of luck in these games.  The final of this will be held on Wednesday 19th August.  Our juvenile amalgamation are due to be playing against St. Vincents in the semi-final of the B Championship on Sunday next 16th August and hopefully we get a good result in that game.  Please check fixtures for confirmation of this game.  We also want to wish our Seniors the best of luck on Saturday evening next when they play Clonguish in the quarter finals of the senior championship.
