U14 football Championship Report

U14 footballers took on Shamrocks in the quarterfinal of the football championship. The game was played in Passage West. The Shamrocks team were physically stronger and bigger with most of the team on the age. Our lads held out well in the first half which finished on a score line of 1-6 to 1-4 in favour of Shamrocks.

Shamrocks came out the stronger in the second half winning most of the possession all over the field. A number of our lads had played a soccer tournament for most of the week and tiredness started to show. Our goalkeeper Eoin O Neill played an outstanding game having pulled off some fantastic saves in both halves. The game ended on a score of 3-15 to 3-5 in favour of Shamrocks.

Scores: - David Morrison 2-1, Shane Cotter 1-2 and Richard Morrison 0-2.

Panel: -  Eoin O Neill, Peter Hegarty, Conor McCarthy, Peter Roche, Jack Kenny, Declan Morrison, Seamus Morrison, Stephen Casey, David Morrison, Richard Morrison, Shane Cotter, Gavin O Neill, Ian Gunther Quinn and Eoin Dolan.

Castlelyons GAA Lotto

The juvenile GAA club would ask that all families in the juvenile club support the club lotto. It commenced in 1997 and in the intervening 17 years has been one of the most successful in the East Cork area. For that entire period of time it has been the primary means of raising funds for the day to day running of the Adult Club, the Juvenile Club and the Camogie Club.

The day to day costs involved in the running of these clubs include: -

- Player's Injury Scheme (the insurance cover which the club requires in the event of a serious injury to a player)

- Club Insurance and Affiliations (Public liability insurance, team affiliations including the entry fees for club Championships and Leagues)

Club Facilities Development

- Procurement of Pitch Maintenance Equipment (A new pitch grass mower has just been purchased)

- Maintenance of all Pitch Maintenance Equipment

- First Aid Materials, Slioters, Gaelic Footballs and all typical GAA Club items of expenditure.
