Defeat for seniors

By Billy Horan, Club PRO Wasteful use of scoring opportunities did not deter Shrule-Glencorrib from defeating Ballinrobe by 0-13 to 0-9 in the opening round of Group 1 of the O’Mara Cup at Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe, on Sunday. The sides were level 0-6 apiece at the interval and while Ballinrobe did forge ahead by two points after the restart, sustained Shrule-Glencorrib pressure in the final quarter yielded a productive outcome. Shane Mellett, Colin Hoverty, Eoin Ronaldson, Shane Hennelly, Adrian Moran, Darren McTigue and Conor O’Dowd impressed for Shrule-Glencorrib. Best for Ballinrobe were David Killeen, David Murphy, Conor Keane, Darren McDonnell and Kevin Quinn. Scorers: Shrule-Glencorrib – E Ronaldson 0-5, G Hennelly 0-4, C Hoverty 0-2, S Mellett and S Mullin 0-1 each. Ballinrobe – D McDonnell 0-6, K Quinn 0-2, D Killeen 0-1.

Reminder to all girls attending, wear enough layers, under armour if you have them, it’s easy to peel of the layers, but if weather continues like last Friday would be good idea even to have a hat on your head to keep the bitter cold out.  Everybody to bring a bottle of water and wear the mandatory gum shields. Reminder to all parents and Guardians please sign in your daughters on the registration sheet each evening on arrival and girls have to be collected from the pitch and will not be allowed leave on their own not even to walk down the length of the car park, you need to come back to the registration point to collect the girls each evening for security purposes.
