The Senior team earned a valuable league point at the weekend with a 1-12 to 0-15 home draw against Tubbercurry. In an exciting encounter the Gaels were two points down as the game entered extra time when Frank Quinn scored a goal to put the teams level – Liam O’Connell then scored a point to put the Gaels ahead and it looked like the Gaels were going to snatch the win, however deep into injury time Tubbercurry responded and pointed to level the game. The team was: Nigel Hargadon, Paul Brennan, James Lyons, Shane Barry, Liam O’Connell (0-2), Frank Quinn (1-1), Derek Davey, Paul Higgins, Joe Henry (0-1), Vinny Boyd (0-3), Mark Tuohy (0-4), Keith McMorrow, Kevin Barry, Paul O’Grady, Johnny Quinn (0-1).

The Senior team are away to St Maloise Gaels next Saturday at 7.30PM in the final league game.

The Gaels survived a scare in the second half when St Michaels came within four points, however a Ciaran Kilfeather goal along with a point from Cian McDermott and two from Darragh Hailstones gave the Gaels a seven point win on a scoreline of 5-5 to 2-7.
