Donal has always been a great supporter of the club and he takes great pride in watching his grandson Mark Lynch lining out for the seniors. We wish Dónal many more years of health & happiness.

Senior Men’s Co. League Div. 3: Round 8 of the McCarthy’s Insurance County League took place yesterday and our lads recorded another win, this time away to an under-strength Tarbert side.

Played in beautiful sunshine our lads took control from the throw in, scoring their first point after only 30 seconds, and went on to dominate the game in most sectors, especially around midfield.

Na Gaeil led by 1-4 to 0-1 after just 10 minutes following points from Jack Sheehan (2), Andrew Barry and 1-1 from Liam Cooper.

Another goal and a point from Liam Cooper had our lads well ahead by the 12th minute before 4 points on the trot from Tarbert’s Seán Wren gave Tarbert hope.

But Na Gaeil turned the screw again and with Kieran O’Connor doing very well on Tarbert’s kickouts we added points from Darragh Reen (2), Andrew Barry, Liam Cooper (2) and Ruairí Ó hAiniféin while the home side could only register a point.

Five minutes before halftime Fergal Barry goaled to extend Na Gaeil’s lead to 14 points, 3-11 to 0-6. Tarbert added 4 points before the break with Jack Sheehan and Jack Bourke getting one each for our lads to leave Na Gaeil ahead 3-13 to 0-10 at halftime.

Early points from Seán O’Connor and Ruairí Ó hAiniféin were cancelled out by 2 from Tarbert. Then came points from Jack Barry and Liam Cooper (free) before a Dan Goggin goal put the result beyond doubt.

Tarbert edged the final 10 minutes by 4 points to 3 with Conor Lucey, Mark Lynch and Liam Cooper getting our scores. Final score: Tarbert 0-16, Na Gaeil 4-20.

Senior Men’s Co. League Div. 7B: Our men’s B team were defeated by An Ghaeltacht B last Friday night in Phase 2 of the league. Final score: Na Gaeil B 1-13, An Ghaeltacht B 3-10.

Senior Ladies Co. League Div. 1: Round 7 of the Credit Union Donal Curtin League took place in Killeen last Friday night with Na Gaeil hoping to get back to winning ways after their loss to Cromane on the previous weekend.

The visitors Clounmacon/Moyvane were first to register a point but a Siena Lucey free levelled matters. Our girls enjoyed the bulk of the possession in the first quarter but time and again were frustrated by the visitor’s defence, resulting in 5 wides in a row.

But a point from Kateanne O’Connor in the 12th minute led to a flurry of scores including a well taken goal by Avril Doyle and a point each from Meabh Barry and Meagan Sheehy to put our girls in the driving seat, up 1-4 to 0-1 after 20 minutes.

Clounmacon/Moyvane kept plugging away and kicked 2 points before an Aoife Barrett point on the stroke of half-time gave our girls a 1-5 to 0-3 lead at the break.

The second half started in a similar vein with our girls enjoying the lion’s share of possession but again our shooting was wayward at times. A point from Meabh Barry and two from Siena Lucey (one free) stretched our lead to 8 with just over 20 minutes remaining.

Clounmacon/Moyvane replied with a point and from the resultant kickout they won a penalty. Our keeper Emma Glynn made a great save but unfortunately the taker reacted quickly to finish the rebound to our net.

The visitor’s tails were now up and they continued to attack, registering 2 points, to reduce the deficit to just 2 points with 5 minutes left.

But young sub Emma Lynch was to prove our hero, kicking a fine point and adding the finishing touch to a goal after good work by Meabh Barry. Final score: Na Gaeil 2-9, Clounmacon/Moyvane 1-6.
