:: Urris GAA Club 21.07.08

The Seniors were away to Naomh Columba last Sunday but the long trip to Glencolmcille was a disappointing one. The former Division 1 team were to run out six point winners on the day. This still leaves Urris in fifth place in the table but most of the teams below us have games in hand so points are still needed to secure Division 2 status again next year. Result Naomh Columba 1 – 14 Urris 0 - 11. Teams should check at training for next week’s fixtures.

There will be a table quiz in the Rusty Nail this Friday evening in aid of the Club Development Draw. Get your team together and get to the Rusty early to ensure a good table where you can pit your wits against the cream of Clonmany’s brains. Quiz gets underway at around 10pm.

Well done to the U14 boys who took on Malin in the Inishowen B Final last Sunday, The lads put in a massive display and ran out very easy and very worthy winners in the finish. Congratulations to the whole team and a big thank you to Paul, Mickey and Sean for all the work they have put in with them so far this year. Thank you also to all the parents and supporters who came out to cheer them on last Sunday. This is always a big boost to the boys and girls during a big match. The lads should check with Paul for training and match times over the next few weeks because they will be playing in the County Championship shortly.

The Minors will be playing a third match against Red Hugh’s in the County Championship on Wednesday evening in Newton. The game throws in at 7.30pm and the team should check with John for travel arrangements on the night. They will also be playing Burt in the Inishowen Shield Final but once again the date for this fixture has yet to be set.

The U16 boys will finally finish their long protracted season this Friday evening in Carndonagh when they take on their counterparts from Malin in the Division 3 County Shield Final. The match throws in at 7.30pm. Good luck to the lads, they deserve something out of what has been a very long year for both themselves and their mentors. The lads should check with Adrian for travel arrangements.

The U16 girls should keep in touch with Danny to find out if they have a match this week. U12 girls should also check with Paul at training for their upcoming fixtures. Training will continue on Wednesday evenings from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. Parents should call Paul if the weather is bad to check if training is on.

The U10 boys will be playing in a blitz in two or three weeks time and so it has been decided to keep training going on Thursday evenings at 6.30pm. Saturday mornings may also be used if the weather is bad during the week. Parents are asked to check with David Hession if they are not sure.

The years drawn in the Urris Match and Win last week were: 1962, 1965, 1970 and 1983. The jackpot wasn’t claimed and next week’s will now be €3,340. The winners of €15 were: Madge Collins, Carndonagh; Mary Duffy, Letter; Sadie Green, Gleneely; Kathleen McDaid, Mindoran and Breege Collins, Golf Course Road, Ballyliffin.
