The Under 10 Ladies Football group played Four Roads recently at home in Lisnamult. This group of young ladies displayed some great skills hand passing, defending, tackling, soloing and achieved some lovely scores against their oppositon. There have shown great progress developing all their skills.
They also played St. Brigid's away followed by a County Blitz in St. Faithleachs GAA, Ballyleague recently. Many thanks to all the coaches and mentors who work with the group. Season is coming to an end soon. We hope to see all the girls back again next season.

Roscommon Gaels Under 16 girls have qualified for the Division 1Championship final following a hard fought semi final on Tuesday September 2nd in Lisnamult. Despite dominating the early possession, the girls failed to register a score and Clann na nGael raced into a 1-02 to 0-00 lead. The Gaels ladies soon found their scoring boots and midway through the first half scores were level. The half back liners were now totally on top, and by the time they had reached the break they had raced into a 5 point advantage.
Again the Roscommon Gaels girls started the second half on top but failed to convert a number of good chances. Both teams were now finding scoring a problem as defences got on top. Two brilliant goals in quick succession seemed to put the game beyond the Clann girls, but to their credit, they fought back into the game reducing the deficit to 4 points with 10 minutes remaining. With the game hanging in the balance the Gaels girls dug deep to finish the stronger and run out winners at the final whistle. Overall, this was a great performace from a very talented and dedicated group of girls who now face St. Barry's in the final. Date TBC. Best of Luck to Team and Management.

Round 4 of the U17 Championship saw Roscommon Gaels continue their winning ways with a high scoring win over a very determined Western Gaels team. Western Gaels playing against a sizeable wind won the throw in and with their first attack pointed from their forward dashing wing back. From the kick out the home side signalled their intent with an excellently worked point by John McGuinness to equal matters. From this attack our lads got a foothold early and further points from Rory Carthy (45m), Liam Naughten and a brace from John McGuinness gave us a 0-05 to 0-01 lead after the 1st quarter. The Westies responded with a 2nd point from the midfielder before McGuinness added two more to his tally with excellently executed scores. Our lads continued to dominate using the wind to full advantage to race into a 0-15 to 0-04 lead coming up to half time. Scores by the excellent Zawyal Khan (putting in a man of the match display), John McGuinness, Rory Carthy and Jack Raftery building this lead. However, the Western Gaels lads battled bravely and a speculative shot for a point dropped short catching out our keeper to land in the net for a Goal and this gave them a lifeline at half time with the score at 0-16 to 1-04.
Now with the wind, the away team had 3 attacks but only came away with one point from their excellent midfielder. Despite playing against the wind, we then responded with 1-02 with the goal coming from Liam Naughten after an excellent drive from Ciaran Reilly. Still, Western Gaels kept to the task and responded with 1-03, their Goal been scored after our defence failed to deal with a high ball. Indeed, up to the last 4 minutes of the 2nd half the away team were leading this half by 1.05 to 1.03 which showed great character by them. The Gaels did finish strong with 2 Rory Carthy Frees and a John McGuiness point to leave the final score at 1-22 to 2-09. There were many positives from tonight again particularly the first half display in scoring 0-16. Notable performances from Zawie Khan, John McGuinness and Eoghan Carthy, however concerns over the number of turnovers and the easy concession of two goals will give us plenty to work on ahead of the business end of the season. It is now 4 from 4 and a guaranteed semi-final has us in a good place with plenty of work to do. We are where we want to be so well done to all concerned. On Sunday August 28th Mark Kelly Electrical Contractor sponsored Roscommon Gaels Ladies Football team played Kilbride in the Under 14 Div 2A County Final in Mulhern Park. The game didn't go as planned for the Gaels girls, however, they never gave up. Early goals in the game put the girls on the back foot and with Kilbride's strong defence, scores were hard to come by in the first half with Kilbride 3-03 to Roscommon Gaels 0-01at half time. The second half of the game played out different with the Gaels team fighting back to win the half scoring 1-02. But it wasn't enough to get them over the line. The final score finished up at 3-03 to 1-03. Congratulations to Kilbride and well done to the Roscommon Gaels girls who never let their heads drop and fought hard. |
