Junior Hurling Championship – Aodh Ruadh, Ballyshannon v Four Masters 08/08/20 - Aodh Ruadh, Ballyshannon 2:18 Four Masters 1:04

Four Masters finished second best to a strong Ballyshannon side in the Junior Hurling championship on Friday evening.

The lads played with great heart and determination throughout but they put themselves under pressure with their first touch and some wayward clearances and passing. Considering this was only their third competitive game after a long lay off, the rustiness was understandable. In contrast Ballyshannon looked like a team with plenty of recent competitive experience and the sharpness that comes with it.

Four Masters picked up a few injuries in the second half, and had a number of goal chances that they were unable to covert. Had these chances been taken, it would have put a better complexion on the scoreboard and would have been a fairer reflection of the effort and commitment of the team on the night.

Despite the scoreline, the Four Masters lads never gave up and kept battling right up to the final whistle. With the big panel of players togged out on the night and the obvious courage and determination of the players there is no doubt that better days lie ahead for this group.

Team and scorers: Four Masters – Shane Patton, Stephen Pearson, Shane McNulty, David Rogers, Paul Patton (0:01), Mark Patton, Eoin McCauley, Ciaran McGrory, Cathal Feeney (0:01), Phillip Myers, Jason Duignan (0:02), Cathal McGlynn, Sean Mulhern, Kieran Daly, Dylan Thomas (1:00), Shaun Campbell, Luke Sweeney, Daniel Gallagher, Ruairi O’Connor, Evan Towey, Cahir McBrearty, Shaun Conway, Martin Gillespie

Senior Football Championship – Glenswilly v Four Masters 09/08/20 - Glenswilly 2-16, Four Masters: 1-13. Hard luck to the senior football team who lost out to Glenswilly in a hard fought game on Sunday evening. The lads played with a lot of heart and determination, and with a bit more luck might have edged the contest. Despite the scoreline, the team can take a lot of positives from this performance into their next game - a home tie against Dungloe next weekend.

Next up for Four Masters is a home Championship game v Dungloe next weekend.

Senior LadieS; Four Masters Ladies Senior Football Squad went on the road early Sunday morning to Fanad Gaels. Despite playing attacking football from the throw-in we hit the crossbar and post 3 times, which left the half-time score in Fanad's favour, totally against the run of play. Fanad hit a purple patch in the 3rd quarter, we could have created another 5 goal chances where maybe we took the wrong option with our final pass, which is something to work on in training.

Under 14 Girls: Another fantastic performance from our U14 girls in Termon. They led 3.9 to 3.2 at half-time and ran out winners 6-14 to 4-5. Well done to these young ladies and best of luck in U14 final next Saturday morning.

Win Your House in Dublin: Four Masters would like to encourage our club community to support the county board fund raising event in aid of the Centre of Excellence development in Convoy.

Home fixtures confirmed for this week:

Saturday 15th 11 am: U12 boys A v Ballyshannon

St Naul’s

Tuesday evening saw our reserves host Killybegs. With difficult conditions we played with gusto to be denied a result by the narrowest of margins.

The seniors travelled to Glenfin on Saturday in the second round of the senior championship. Despite a great effort it wasn’t to be our day. Next Saturday, August 15th, we host Gaoth Dobhair at 4 pm in round three of the championship.

Underage: It has been a very competitive week for our underage boys this week with unfortunately no success .

Our u12s are away to Naomh Brid at 12 noon on Saturday.

Our U14 girls booked their place in the county final with a good win over Glenswilly on Saturday morning. In very warm conditions, the game swayed from a good lead for Naomh Naille to a great second half comeback for Glenswilly. However, our girls dug deep in the last ten minutes and came away worthy winners on a scoreline of 4-14 to 3-4. County final is on Saturday 15th August and they are awaiting the result of the other semi final on Wednesday to find out their opponents and venue. Well done girls.

Our Minor Girls secured a win against visitors Killybegs on a very wet and windy Tuesday evening last. After a slow start, the girls worked hard and were rewarded with a good win on a scoreline of 5-9 to 1-9. Next up is the Division 1 County semi- final on 18th August.

Our Senior Ladies travelled to Carndonagh early on Sunday morning for their fourth game of the Intermediate Championship. A good display all round led to another victory - giving them four wins from four games . Next outing is on Sunday 16th August when they are hosting Ardara in Mountcharles.

Aodh Ruadh

Football: As expected, it was a tough championship derby battle on Sunday between Aodh Ruadh and Naomh Bríd, but it was the Ernesiders who came out with the result, 1-18 to 2-7 the final scoreline. This Sunday the opposition are a Cloich Cheann Faola side still undefeated after their opening two games and who we had two tough battles against in last year's IFC semi-final. Unfortunately, we will be unable to live stream this game as Cloich Cheann Faola have declined permission.

The under 12s were blessed with lovely sunny conditions for their away meeting with Saint Naul's on Saturday morning. Aodh Ruadh raced into big lead in first 20 minutes, playing some superb football. The Mountcharles lads made it a tighter contest in second and third periods, but Aodh Ruadh were able to keep danger at arm's length thanks to great goals by Jayden McGrath Clyne and Joey Daly, as well as a couple of nice points from defender Fionn Hartin. Many thanks to Sean Campbell who reffed. Training continues on Tuesday evening at 7pm. The team are back on the road this Saturday, Tir Chonaill Park the venue for a clash with Four Masters at 11am.

The under 14 girls put in a great effort in Gaoth Dobhair last Tuesday, but unfortunately on the night we met a much stronger side who took all their chances and ran out convincing winners in the end. The Ballyshannon girls now need to put all their focus and energy into the Division 1 Plate final which is scheduled for this Saturday, time and venue to be confirmed. A big thank you must go to the parents who undertook the long drive to Gaoth Dobhair on a midweek night.

The under 10 ladies train on Wednesdays at 7pm at the top field in Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh. The under 8 ladies train on Wednesdays at 6pm at the top field in Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh.

Hurling: The senior hurlers took on local rivals Four Masters in their final game in the group section of the Junior Hurling Championship. The first half was nip and tuck as the Donegal Town lads fought ferociously for every ball, Aodh Ruadh found it hard to get going and led at half time 0-8 to 0-3. The home side put in a much improved second half and ran out comfortable winners 2-17 to 1-4. We have a great gallery of pictures from the game up at aodhruadh.org.

The minor hurlers had their first win of the season on Thursday. The team was short a couple of players, and 14 lads made their way to the Cross to take on Burt. The Inishowen men were physically stronger than the Ballyshannon lads, but the superior skills of the Aodh Ruadh proved the difference as we ran out comfortable winners 5-16 to 2-8. Thanks to all the parents who drove the lads to the game.

The senior footballers are back in action this Saturday when they travel to Castlefinn to take on Robert Emmetts in their second game of the Junior Championship. Throw in is at 7.30pm. All support welcome.

The adult hurlers finished up their season on Sunday past when they made the trip to Carndonagh for the final game of the Junior hurling championship.

This was a great game of hurling where the hosts took the win.

We have introduced a great option for online Club Lotto - you can now play 3 lines per week with a €5 entry. Draw every Monday evening. You can play direct through the Clubforce the App.

It was with great sadness that we heard the news of the passing of our esteemed and long standing club member Michael Conboy. Sympathy is expressed to the extended Conboy family and friends.

Having had to defer the big fundraiser Win Your House In Dublin due to the Covid-19 pandemic the county board have now restarted their campaign. Tickets can be bought from Letterkenny Gaels GAA. If you are interested in purchasing one please contact Jim on (086) 227 1435 or Sean on (085) 246 1101.

Na nDúnaibh

Foireann na mBan: Bhí turas fada ag foireann peile na mban maidin Dé Domhnaigh ina gcluiche craoibhe Sóisir A in éadan na gCealla Beaga. Chuir na Dúnaibh tús maith leis an chluiche agus bhí 2-4 acu ar chlár na scóranna ag an chéad bhriseadh uisce, bhí 1-1 ag na Cealla Beaga. Bhí comhimirt iontach ó mhná na nDúnaibh sa chéad leath agus chríochnaigh an leath seo leis an scór: Na Cealla Beaga 1-3 Na Dúnaibh 3-5. Fuair na Cealla Beaga cúpla pointe ag tús an dara leath ach d’obair mná na nDúnaibh go dian, go háirithe na cosantóirí, faoi stiúr Eimear Ní Threartaigh. Chríochnaigh siad an cluiche go láidir leis an scór ag deireadh Na Dúnaibh 3-9 Na Cealla Beaga 1-8. Maith sibh a ghirseachaí.

A great team performance from Na Dúnaibh, well done ladies. This was an important win for na Dúnaibh ladies and they have a busy week ahead with a mid-week fixture away to Dungloe on Wed. evening at 6.30pm and at home next Sunday morning at 10.30am v Glenswilly.

Craobh Sóisir na bhFear: Tá an fhoireann sinsir ag déanamh dul chun cinn maith sa chraobh sóisir cé gur éirigh le Gaeil Leitir Ceanainn críochnú ar chomhscór leofa thuas i Leitir Ceanainn. Bhí tréimhsí sa chluiche seo ar imir na Dúnaibh go han-mhaith ach bhí sé le feiceáil in amanna eile go gcaithfidh feabhas a theacht orthu agus go gcaithfidh siad oibriú i bhfad níor cruaidhe má tá sé ar intinn acu an chraobh a bhaint. Bhí siad ceithre phointe ‘un tosaigh agus trí bhomaite ar an chlog ach bheir na Gaeil orthu. Caithfear creidiúint a thabhairt do na Gaeil, choinnigh siad ag imirt go deireadh.

Is scéal eile ar fad a bhí againn ar an Domhnach amuigh ar Pháirc na nDúnaibh in éadan Roibéard Eiméid. Bhí buaidh mhór ag na Dúnaibh ach caithfear cuimhne go bhfuil na Dúnaibh i Roinn 2 agus Róibeard Eiméid i Roinn 4. Seo bearna mór. Tá tosaithe na nDúnaibh iontach cruinn ina gcuid imeartha agus d’éirigh leofa 11-14 a chur ar chlár na scóranna.

Guímis achan rath orthu an tseachtain seo ina gcluiche craoibhe as baile in éadan na Rossa agus an deireadh seachtaine ina dhiaidh sin beidh siad sa bhaile in éadan Bhun an Phobail. Maith sibh a ghasúraí.

Imreoidh na mionúir Gaeil na Maoil Ruaidhe (na Dúnaibh/Gaeil Fhánada) in éadan Aodh Rua (Cúil na gCuirridín) sna Dúnaibh oíche Chéadaoin ag a 7 achlog.

There will be a very important minor board meeting in the GAA centre prior to the Na Dúnaibh v Moville match in Downings on Sat. August 22nd. The meeting will be at 5.45pm. It is very important that anyone interested in the promotion of under-age football in the area attends the meeting.
