FOUR MASTERS

There was no winner of the lotto jackpot draw held in the Abbey Hotel on Monday 22nd May. The €50 winners in the lucky dip were Michael Naughton, Golard, Patsy McGroary, Tullynagrena.

The numbers drawn were 10, 19, 20, 24

The Four Masters U8 boys got their season off to a great start when they hosted neighbours Aodh Ruadh, Naomh Conaill and An Clochan Liath in the first blitz of the year in Tirchonaill Park on Saturday. The Four Masters Dolphins were first to show their skills, with David Cleary putting in an awesome display at midfield which would have Michael Murphy looking over his shoulder. He was ably assisted by the energetic James Tooher with Rian Downey and Eoin Meehan using their pace to keep the defenders on their toes. Jack Kennedy was rock solid in the heart of the defence whilst Gerard Nugent covered every blade of grass over the three games. Max O' Reilly used his trademark left foot to great effect linking up very well with the skillful Aaron Degnan. At the other end of the pitch the Four Masters Tigers, with the wind at their backs, got off to a flier. Conor Griffin's kickouts were as pinpoint accurate as Stephen Cluxton's, launching attack after attack for the Tigers. Kian Gallagher and Mateus Babik keep the opponents attacks to a minimum with some excellent defending, Thomas McHugh and Finn Gillespie were first to every ball and were clinical in front of goal whilst Caolam Graham and Daire Slevin were running from box to box.

Jay Cullen showed all the instincts of a tiger, pouncing on every loose ball in the danger area and kicking some great scores. With two wins and a highly entertaining draw, the Tigers can be very happy with their days work.

On pitch three, the Four Masters Lions roared into action with Eoin Lorinyenko outstanding between the sticks. Garth Murphy and Aaron Perry defended as if their lives depended on it whilst in midfield Justin Keating Anderson and Peter Harrison caught everything. Dylan Mc Hugh, JJ Warren and Noel Lorinyenko provided the sharpshooting up front with Ronan Meehan and Brandon Armstrong already attracting the attention of Donegal county team manager Rory Gallagher.Three fine displays by the Lions, showing why they are top of the food chain. Last but by no means least the Four Masters Seahawks took to the field with determination and purpose.

Tom Erskine and Senan Gallagher used their cultured left feet to great effect with very little getting past the defensive dynamos Dylan Byrne and Cameron Crawford. Caolan McMullin showed his creative side by supplying sublime passes to sharpshooters Daire O'Donnell and Iarla Cassidy who rattled the onion bag with great regularity.

AODH RUADH

Well done to Peter Boyle, Eamonn McGrath and the Donegal seniors on a comfortable Ulster Championship victory over Antrim. Hard luck to Sean Taylor and the minor team on just being pipped by the Saffrons.

The Division 1 under 14s had a highly entertaining clash with Dungloe in Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh last Wednesday. Aodh Ruadh were on top for much of the 60 minutes, but Dungloe mounted a fine comeback to leave it jittery at the end as the Ernesiders secured a 6-12 to 6-9 victory. Man of the match for Aodh Ruadh was Ryan Keenaghan.

Also shining for the hosts were Cian Rooney and Marty McGarrigle up front and Aaron Cullen between the posts who pulled off some really outstanding.

The team followed that up with an impressive 10-9 to 1-11 victory over a weakened Killybegs side in Father Tierney Park on Monday evening. Conor Foy played very well in defence while Daire Gallagher was his usual assured self at cornerback. Midfielder Corey Ryan is growing with every game while Séimí Campbell was excellent at half forward, showing well for the ball, laying on scores, and getting on the score sheet himself with some well taken efforts. Get well soon to Ryan Keenaghan who sustained a head injury in the match. The Division Two team had less luck in their game on Monday, sinking to a 7-17 to 2-3 defeat in Dunkineely.

The under 12 Division One team enjoyed a comprehensive 6-11 to 2-5 win against St Naul's in Father Tierney Park last Friday. The Division Two

team lost to Naomh Ultan.

We have a first blitz at home on Saturday with Bundoran, Saint Naul's and Four Masters coming to Father Tierney Park. Games will start at 11am sharp we need to have all players up for 10.15am as we are getting a team photograph taken before games.

Commiserations to our county representatives Sarah Jane Keon, Orla Keon, Aoibhinn McGarrigle, Emer O'Brien, Katie O'Brien, Lucy McGlynn and Aine Hill.

The under 14 girls played Calry St Joseph's. It was a good workout for the full panel with Niamh Hughes, Lauren McHugh and Ella Clancy, all performing well. On Sunday evening they entertained a determined St Nauls side in Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh for their latest league fixture. Aodh Ruadh did really well against the breeze, going in leading 5-4 to 1-4, a number of players came in over the course of the second half and helped see Ballyshannon to a 6-9 to 5-5 victory. Sarah Jane Keon and Caoimhe Hughes-O'Brien were in exceptional form up front, with Katie O'Brien, Aoibhinn McGarrigle and Emer O'Brien also among the scorers. In midfield Lucy McGlynn and Ella Clancy worked hard, while in defence Orla Keon, Ciara Caldwell and Caoimhe McCauley all did well.

St Eunan's were unable to field against Aodh Ruadh last Friday so the Ernesiders got the points for that one without a sliotar struck in anger.

On Thursday the minors made the long trip to Carndonagh for their final league game. Due to study commitments and injuries only 12 players could make the trip. Knowing they had to win to make the A League final the lads began the game with real purpose and ran out convincing winners.

On the same night the under 14s travelled to Letterkenny Gaels and lost by the minimum on a scoreline of Letterkenny Gaels 2-6 Aodh Ruadh

On Sunday the minors played Buncrana in the Minor A League final at Setanta's pitch in the Cross. Buncrana won a full time score 6-16 to 1-9.

There was no winner of last week's Lotto jackpot of €2,900. The winning numbers drawn were 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 18. In the lucky dip €20 went to Sarah Ferguson; Patricia Downey, Erne Street; Hazel Travers Cluain Barron; Margaret McCauley, Mulleek; and TJ O'Mahoney.

Hard luck to our ladies underage players Nicole Gallagher and Abi Barrett who were part of the Donegal U13 and 14 squads who were defeated in last weekends Ulster finals.Despite putting in a solid performance Paul Murphy and his minor comrades also tasted defeat by the narrowest of margins against Antrim.

Fortunately there was better news for our Senior players Jamie and Paul Brennan with Rory Gallagher’s charges easing to a commanding victory with Jamie scoring 1-1.

Further points by Tagdh Mc Garrigle, Mickey Harron and excellent goal from John Anderson left 6 points to the good at the halftime break.

They played extremely good football against the wind in the second half to leave with the two points on a scoreline of Naomh Brid 10-4 Naomh Columba 4-6.

Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam dhílis.

The U12 boys recorded another fine victory on Wednesday last in Dunfanaghy. Well done to David and Kevin who have worked very hard with these boys over the last few months.

Paddy McMenamin's U14 boys made it four from four games with a fine win over Cloughaneely on Monday evening. Thomas Cannon was again in outstanding form in goals. Mark Toye, Oisin Kelly and Luke Downey were instrumental in thwarting many of the Cloughaneely attacks. Kevin McGettigan and Patrick Mc Daid and both worked very hard and Owen Browne's introduction added to the midfield dominance. Up front Manus O'Connell led by example in ball winning, scoring and bringing his team mates into the game.
