AODH RUADH
In Sunday's league game Aodh Ruadh came good in the end against Naomh Columba.
In the curtain-raiser the reserves ground out a good four point victory against a determined Glen side.
The minors returned to action after the break for exams last Thursday. They took on Killybegs, but came out on the wrong side of a 1-12 to 1-9 scoreline.
Last Friday saw Aodh Ruadh under 14s making the journey to Connacht for the annual Féile festival of football. It was a great weekend for the squad who were wonderfully looked after by their hosts in Headford, Galway.
The team's first two games on Friday were in Ballindine. We started off with a good victory against Davitt's, winning 1-12 to 1-7. Next up were Kilcormac-Killoughey of Offaly who won Division Two in the Hurling Féile in Cork three weeks ago. They were tougher opposition and beat us by two points on a scoreline of 2-3 to 1-8.
These boys went on over the next two days to win Division Six. Our first game on Saturday, the last of the group stages, saw us beat our hosts with only two points to spare.
In the quarter-final they met the amalgamated Roscommon clubs of Éire Óg and Michael Glavey's. The Roscommon boys were four up at half-time and closed the game out in the second and went on to win to end Aodh Ruadh’s run.
Sunday proved to be a great day on a social level with a morning game between mixed players of Aodh Ruadh and Headford followed by a lake swim for the brave lads who faced the cold waters of Lough Corrib.
Special thanks to James McNamee for keeping us between the ditches, the parents who travelled to support, all those who bought Aodh Ruadh hats and jerseys which covered our Féile expenses, Kernan's Spar for their sponsorship and especially the whole community of Headford who treated Aodh Ruadh to a weekend we will never forget.
Aodh Ruadh under 8s hosted the MacCumhaills under 7 boys on Friday evening, with our under 8s playing an in-house game. Our three games against MacCumhaills saw our boys compete brilliantly. Many thanks to David Downey and Damian Conlon for refereeing.
The senior ladies had a convincing win over Killybegs in Fintra last Thursday. It was a great team performance from the Ernesiders on one of the hottest days of the year. Bridín Maguire was called upon to make some important saves between the posts and got great cover from sister Grainne at full back. Cáit Gillespie and Caoimhe Keon dominated in midfield while Aodh Ruadh were in great form up front where Áine Gilmore, Terri Gallagher and Mary Flora Scott and Méabh Rooney all took some lovely scores.
The under 16 season got underway against St Naul's last Tuesday. The visitors had the better of the early exchanges with only an Aoibhínn McGarrigle point answering 1-3 rattled in by the Mountcharles girls. A well taken individual point from Orla Keon helped kick-start Aodh Ruadh's challenge, and 1-2 from Katie O'Brien followed by another McGarrigle point left the hosts marginally ahead 1-5 to 1-3 at the turnaround. St Naul's got the first point on the resumption, but from there to practically the final whistle Aodh Ruadh took charge.and ran out 2-12 to 1-5 winners.
The under 10s had a busy week. On Wednesday they welcomed teams from St Nauls and Four Masters to a blitz in Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh. Over 60 girls played in the evening sun before enjoying some lovely refreshments in Aras Aoidh Ruaidh. Many thanks to Gabby McGloin and Caoimhe Keon for reffing the matches as well as to the many parents who supported on the night.
On Saturday two Aodh Ruadh teams headed to Derrygonnelly. The girls had an exceptional day out, playing teams from Belcoo, Tempo and Derrygonnelly.
The senior hurlers were in championship action in Fr Tierney Park on Saturday against Carndonagh. Aodh Ruadh hurled very well and put in a great team performance to run out convincing winners on a 1-19 to 1-4 scoreline.
Our under 16s opened their league campaign away to Letterkenny Gaels on Thursday with a comprehensive victory. On the same evening the under 12s had a titanic battle with Burt in Fr Tierney Park. Both teams gave it their all in a tough hard hitting encounter which the Burt lads won 6-7 to 6-4.
On Sunday morning our under 8s hosted a blitz with Naomh Molaise Gaels and Four Masters. We had a panel of 13 and they all got loads of hurling.
The 28th annual Aodh Ruadh Summer Camp commenced on Monday, and runs to Friday, July 12.
