Colmcille GFC Notes

The senior team continued their championship campaign with a must win game against Dromard. The lads rose to the occasion magnificently, putting in their best performance of the year. The lads played the game at a blistering pace and Dromard could not match the tempo. Colmcille were 9 points up at one point but a few fortunate goals for Dromard flattered the final score line. We won the game by 3 points and recorded a vital win in the group stages of the championship. The final score line was 1-10 to 2-04. Team v. Dromard: M. Kiernan, P. Murtagh, N. Farrell, O. McGivney, F. Kavanagh, G. Murtagh, E, Farrell, J.P. Reilly, B. McKeon, N. Brady, P. McKeon, B. McCabe, D. Farrell, T. Doyle. Sub used: C. Kiernan. The lads will continue with their campaign against Rathcline next Saturday in Allen Park at 6.30pm.
A massive Barn Dance will take place next Saturday, 30th July, in the Glenview. There will be live music by Cajun Country, a rodeo bull, sumo wrestler suits and a barbeque on what promises to be a fantastic night of fun and craic.
