The second half saw Roscommon Gaels come out with all guns blazing and racing into a two-point lead. Roscommon Gaels started to win possession down the right wing and the comeback began. Some fantastic scores from Chloe Donoghue goal from Eimear O’Farrell, as well as two fine saves by Sioda McGuinness and some great defending by our backs, got Roscommon Gaels right back in the match. The final score Roscommon Gaels 3-10 Shannon Gaels 3-5. A great match to be part of and great performances by all involved. ....next week we play Padraig Pearses in Pearses.

Next up was half time in the Kerry - Roscommon league match in the Hyde. After a raffle earlier in the week 20 of our 43 players got the chance to play in front of the large crowd. All in all, a hectic but enjoyable day for all involved. U14 Football Div 1 Roscommon Gaels 0-10 Clan Na Gael 2-04 On a bright sunday morning ideal for football our lads started brightly playing into a stiff wind. Exchanges were tight in the first half. We had a job on our hands with their big midfielder - conor Sheehan but Ciaran & Rory stood firm in the middle of the field. Everthing that was thrown in on top of michael Gilhooley at full back - Michael won it hands down. He was outstanding in the first half along with Jack Donnelly who continues to impress and his physical athleticm at No 6 was a job to behold. We went in at half time 4 points to 2 up. Everything went well for us. Quick balll into john Mcguinness worked well but we changed a bit in the 2nd Half. Andrew oates came out of goal & placed in full forward. Worked for a while but we changed it later on. They got 2 goals within the space of 2 mins which put them 4 up but points from john mcguinness and rory carthy bring the teams level with a few mins left. Exchanges were frantic and some big hits went in. Great character building for these lads. Game finished level. We are sure to meet them again Next sunday we play St Dominic's in Tremane at 11am. That will be a tester & good for us !!! Division Four League Well done to our Junior Lads who defeated St Michaels in the League on Saturday. Final Score Roscommon Gaels 0-11 St Michaels 0-10.
