Monageer-Boolavogue 3-10 Cloughbawn 1-7.
Another good win for Monageer-Boolavogue’s third string which extends the unbeaten run to 6 championship games and qualifies the team for the district semi final having finished the group of 9 teams in 3rd place. After losing their opening 2 games the team has gone from strength to strength over the year. Conditions in Castleboro on Wednesday night were challenging with a strong wind but the pitch was in excellent condition. Both teams needed a win to be sure of qualification so a lot was up for grabs. The team started well and were 7 points up at half time (2-7 to 1-3) with the goals coming from Mick Ivory and John “Boiler” Murphy. Hurling into the wind in the second half put the backs under huge pressure but they managed to weathered the storm and a goal coming from Ciaran Fenlon put the result beyond doubt. Significantly 8 different players got on the scoresheet which is always good. Also, congratulations to James O Loughlin on the birth of his son earlier in the week.
Team – Larry Carty, Anthony Dempsey, Paul Farrington, Murt Sweeney, Podge Stafford, Barry Miller, Diarmuid Breen, Dec Kelly, Peadar Leacy, Adrian O Dowd, Mick Ivory, Morgan Rowsome, John “Boiler” Murphy, Micheal Somers and Micheal Stafford. Subs, John Redmond for Larry Carty, Ciaran Fenlon for Diarmuid Breen (inj), Walter Christopher for Micheal Somers, Adrian O Loughlin for Anthony Dempsey and William Murphy for John Murphy.
Monageer/Boolavogue GAA and community are deeply saddened and in a state of shock at the untimely death of Shane Fenlon, who lost his battle with Cancer on Monday 18th June. It’s very difficult to make any sense of Shane’s death, a young and talented hurler always in a good humour and full of life, will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Shane represented Monageer/Boolavogue with pride at both hurling and football for many years. He made significant contributions to some of the clubs great success over the years and for this we are very grateful.
Shane is being waked in his home place in Ballymurtagh from 11am today (Tuesday 19th June). Funeral mass is on Wednesday 20th at 1pm in St.Patrick’s church in Monageer, leaving the house at 12:15pm. Flowers from family members only and donations to the Hospice Home Care are very welcomed by his family.
Our deepest sympathies go to his loving partner Laura, parents Andy and Rita and sisters Yvonne and Michelle.
Rest in peace Shane.
Well done to our junior u8 hurling team, who had their first outing on Thursday night (3rd May) against the Shamrocks on home turf in Monageer.
We had 17 players in action in two separate games, and all players played very well and showed off all their skills which they have been practising in training with coaches Stephen Roe & Jonathan Dunne.
Well done to all the boys & girls and training continues next Monday night at 1830hrs.
Check out all images from the game under the gallery section of the website.
Big weekend ahead for our Junior hurling stars, the league kicks off with a double header in Cloughbawn on Saturday (the 17th, yes Paddy’s day !) at 3.30pm and 5.00pm. See the fixtures page on website for further details.
The Intermediates are out too, up in Ballyfad (for their annual trip) on Monday 19th at 2pm.
And to get you in the humour, here’s the famous “You know you are a Junior Hurler when…..” article
