Clann na nGael Notes

Under 16 Semi Final
Clann na nGael 2-15 Roscommon Gaels 4-3
The Clann na nGael under 16 team reached this year's county final at the expense of Roscommon Gaels on Tuesday evening last in Kiltoom. Clann were slow out of the traps and trailed the Gaels by 2-0 to 0-1 after the opening exchanges. Clann rallied before the break and led by 1-8 to 2-1 at the break. Clann increased their lead with 2 points from Rian McNamara, but Gaels rattled the Clann net once again to leave the game in the melting pot. The game was right in the mix up until the very end but Clann ran out deserving winners of a pulsating game.
Team: Shane Scally, Arran O'Reilly, Patrick Harney, Ritchie McManus, Jack Connaughton, Shane Petit, Martin Flannery, Cillian Bannon, Arran Shine, David Connaughton, Ultan Harney, Shane Lacey, Cathal Callinan, Malcom O'Hanlon, Rian Mc Namara. Subs: Eoin Forde, Jamie Fahy, Neale Conway.

Under 16 County Final
The Clann na nGael under 16 team will take on Boyle in the county final on Saturday next at 4pm in Strokestown. The lads have been playing some fine football and have bet Boyle, St Brigid's, St Croan's and Roscommon Gaels on route to the final. The lads really appreciated the support they received for the semi final. A large crowd will be needed to roar the lads on against a strong Boyle side on Saturday. Best of luck lads!
