Football - Congratulations to the Donegal team and management on winning the county's ninth ever Ulster title.

The under 14s are all set for Féile this weekend. Prior to the off on Friday, the squad are hosting a night on Wednesday at 7pm for team sponsors, especially the Sandhouse Hotel. The team are heading for the St Joseph's club in Louth on Friday afternoon with the bus leaving promptly at 12 noon. Also in Aodh Ruadh's group are Belfast outfit Lámh Dhearg and the Naomh Fionnbarra / Lann Léire combination from Louth. Last Saturday we hosted the annual under 10 Mick Shannon Tournament. St Naul's attended with one team, St Mary's Sligo brought two teams, Ardara had two teams, and Aodh Ruadh fielded three teams.

Aodh Ruadh was captained by Max Roper in the cup. They won two out of their three group games and went into the final. They played extremely well with Bobby Melly excellent in goals. Having met St Mary's already and lost they knew the Sligo lads were very hard opposition. It was end to end in the final with St Mary's coming out just the right side.

We had two teams in the shield competition. The Aodh Ruadh Shield B team was captained by Aaron McLoone. Sean Maguire in goals was excellent and all the lads played their hearts out. The best game of the day probably was the third / fourth place play off against Ardara. It was level at half and full time. The lads pulled away in extra time to win with great spirit. Daragh McCready was excellent over the four games.

The Aodh Ruadh Shield A team was captained by Cole Connolly with a top drawer game by Jaden McGrath Clyne in goals. Aodh Ruadh A won all three games and played St Mary's in the final. The Sligo boys were hard opposition, but we were up by two at half time. The lads pushed on and won well.

Seamus Roper thanked all the clubs for travelling, for help from the referees and the parents / guardians for making food and helping out upstairs in Aras Aoidh Ruaidh. He then presented Cole Connolly with Mick Shannon Shield and the Aodh Ruadh lads with their winners medals.

Ladies - The under 14s focus is now all on Friday and the trip to Féile. We meet at the Park at 11.15am with the bus leaving promptly at 11.30am. The girls first game will be against Ratoath at their home grounds. Our second game will follow against St Brigid's of Roscommon. After that it is back to our host club, Blackhall Gaels, for the evening. We play Blackhall Gaels on Saturday morning.

Hurling -The under 16s opened their league campaign on Thursday last with a trip to Letterkenny Gaels. Aodh Ruadh were well on top and won convincingly.

Well done to Mickey McCann and the Donegal senior squad on claiming the Nicky Rackard Cup in Croke Park on Saturday. Unfortunately Aodh Ruadh had no involvement with the squad.

The u16s are through to the Division Three final on 29th July.

Our men's team travelled to Glenfin on Saturday evening. The boys lined out on glorious afternoon to face an experienced Glenfin side. It was Glenfin who got off to the better start leaving the Lifford lads head scratching for the first 20 minutes. Lifford managed to put a few scores on the board just before halftime.

The Lifford lads came emerged from the break with a reorganised and regrouped side. This is when Lifford started to play football and put in a great effort to claw back their first half deficit. Although a Lifford win was looking likely, in the end up it wasn’t to be with Glenfin winning on a scoreline of 3-12 to 2-13.

The club would like to extend our sympathies to the McClay family on the death of Robert McClay, may he Rest in Peace.
