The seniors and reserves both recorded vital wins at home in the league against Aodh Ruadh on Saturday evening.
The seniors got back to winning ways against Aodh Ruadh, gaining some revenge for the narrow loss in Ballyshannon earlier in the year. The final score was Naomh Colmcille 1-14 1-6 Aodh Ruadh. Next up is a trip to Ballintra to take on Naomh Brid on Saturday evening (22nd).
The reserves turned in a great performance from start to finish to defeat Aodh Ruah on Saturday. The home side were on top from the start and had built up a lead of 1-11 to 0-1 at half time, the goal coming courtesy of a shot that looped in over the keeper from a very tight angle from David O’Brien. Further second half goals from Conor Grant, Andrew Clarke and Michael Friel contributed to a final scoreline of Naomh Colmcille 4-16 0-7 Aodh Ruadh. An away fixture at Naomh Brid is up next for the reserves next Saturday.
Well done to the u8s who hosted their Northern board blitz on Saturday; Buncrana and MacCumhaills were the visitors to a wet Pairc Colmcille. There was a great turn out by the team and parents in difficult weather conditions; the team showed great team spirit in their games with young players showing fantastic leadership. Thanks to all the helpers, referees, parents and to Buncrana and MacCumhaills for coming. New players (boys and girls) are most welcome to come and have fun.
