Ladies Senior League.
Our Ladies Intermediate team had their first game under new management on Sunday April 15^th against Garrycastle. While Garrycastle took the game on a scoreline of 3-8 to 0-7 there were a lot of positives in our girl’s performance. New coach Tommy Gallagher said he was very happy with the girls work rate but that the second half goals killed us. He’s looking forward to the task ahead and to working with his backroom team of Martin Williams and Mícheál Fagan.
We want to thank Tomás Blake, Ray Dobson, Gerry Farrelly and Carmel Reynolds for their work with the team thus far in the season.  

Registration.
Our registration team will be on hand for the next few Friday evenings at underage training to collect membership fees.

Lotto.
We held the lotto draw in The Seven Wonders Bar, Fore on Thursday last April 12^th for jackpots of €10,000 and €5,000. Neither jackpot was won, so we proceeded to draw five winners of €30 each. They were Pat Carey, Seán Dunne, Lena Reilly, Seamus Leahy and Raymond Halpin. The next draw will be held in McCormack’s, Castlepollard on Thursday April 26^th. The jackpots will be €10,000 and €5,100.

Great wins for Girls Under 14s and 16s.
Our Under 14s and under 16s girl’s teams both recorded victories against St. Paul’s last week. The under 14s scored 7-9 to St. Paul’s 1-3 on Tuesday April 10^th and their older comrades, not to be outdone, recorded a 9-7 to 2-4 victory two days later.  Both teams are coached by the successful husband and wife team of Colm and Olive Murphy.

Under 14 St. Michael’s win.
The St. Michael’s under 14 team reaped the rewards of their hard work on Thursday last when they defeated Multyfarnham. Noel Morgan and Geoff Morrissey have been putting these lads through their paces for a number of weeks now and the early start has paid off.

Under 12 Boys late equaliser.
A great performance from our under 12 boys on Wednesday last April 11th saw them come from behind against a strong St. Paul’s team to finish the game level on a scoreline of 1-5 each. This was their first outing of the season and their coaching team of Vinnie and Cathal are very pleased with their charges.

Sympathy
The Ballycomoyle GAA community would like to extend our sympathy to the Shields family on the recent death of Eileen Shields. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hAnam.

Great League Start for Men’s Team.
Ballycomoyle’s men got off to a great start in the league on Easter Monday when they played Ballymore away. Under the new management team of Tom Keague and Seamus Farrelly training has been going very positively but the proof of the pudding is in the eating and the positivity carried through to the field of play. We started a team made up of youth and experience and the combination delivered an impressive 2-10 to 0-7 victory.   The team fielded as follows Michael McKenna, Jordan Williams, Jack Coyle, Charles Flynn, Ciarán Fagan, Benny Doyle, James McHugh, Dan Higgins, Aaron Leahy, Brian Caffrey, Caolam McLaverty, Shane Brody, Vinnie Reynolds.
Subs: Billy Ryan for Caolam McLaverty. Warren Williams for Shane Brody, Robbie Cooney for Warren Williams.
While this was an overall great performance Jordan Williams, Benny Doyle and Brian Caffrey deserve particular mention.
Warren Williams had to go off injured and we wish him a speedy recovery. Our next game is at home to Killucan on a date yet to be confirmed.

Féile na nÓg.
St. Michael’s under 14s took part in Féile on Saturday last in Kinnegad. Our lads had 2 games. We had a good win against Millmore Gaels but sadly came unstuck against a strong Kinnegad team in spite of a spirited performance. We wish Kinnegad the best of luck going forward in the competition and we wish our own Aaron Fagan a speedy recovery from an injury he picked up on the day.

Ladies Senior League.
Our Ladies Intermediate team had a tough match against Moate on Easter Monday in the Senior League. Unfortunately, Moate proved too strong on the day and our girls came off second best.

County Players.
Congratulations to Ballycomoyle U14 girls Shannon Reilly and Cara Murphy who helped Westmeath to a massive Leinster championship U14 win over Offaly today in Tubberclair Westmeath 13-12 Offaly 0-3. Their next outing is against Laois on Saturday April 21^st in Portlaoise.

Blood Donors wanted.
There will be a blood donation clinic in Hotel Castlepollard on Thursday April 5^th from 4.30 to 8pm. Remember that only 3 per cent of us are regular blood donors and 25 per cent of us will need a blood transfusion at some point in our lives. If you are one of the regular blood donors why not bring a friend in with you and help to narrow the gap between that 3 and 25 percent. 

The Ballycomoyle Intermediate Ladies Team faced Clann Gaels in their first outing of the League on Sunday 25th March. 22 players fielded for Ballycomoyle which is a testament to the big panel of players that have been training hard this year. The half time score was 2 -8 to Clann Gaels and 1-2 to Ballycomoyle. The Bal ladies came out fighting in the start of the second half and showed what they're capable of by scoring 3 goals and a point to lead by a point before there was a reply from Clann Gaels. Unfortunately Clann Gaels got the upper hand again and the game finished up Clann Gaels 4 -13 to Ballycomoyle 4-5.
Team: Alma Hayden, Niamh Smyth, Rebecca Craig, Lizzie Hannon, Shauna Coghlan, Aoife Gallagher, Jade Crone, Laura Kilcoyne, Ally Murphy, Rebecca Ayres, Ruth Daniels, Emily Barker, Megan D'Arcy, Mary Quinn, Kaitlin Walsh. Substitutions made Aoíbhínn Dolan, Ashleigh Mortimer, Clodagh Williams, Fiona Lawlor, Niamh McCarthy, Sarah Fagan, Sinéad Connell.

Snow News week.

We often have a slow news week in the GAA world but this week is very much a “Snow news week” Every event that should have happened was snowed off.  Many of us were cut off from the outside world and owe a great deal of thanks to the many local farmers who gave of their time and machinery to keep local roads open.

Scór Leinster Final Beckons.

The Leinster semi-finals of Scór Sinsir were two of the many events that came a cropper because of the snow. They were scheduled to take place on the 3^rd and 4^th of March. Because the final is taking place in The Helix just a week later on Sunday 11^th March, a date that couldn’t be changed, it has been decided to dispense with the semi-finals entirely and allow all County winners advance straight to the Leinster final.  Ballycomoyle will be represented by Catherine Daly in the Aithriseoireacht  (Recitation) and by Seán Daly, Seamus McDermott, Helen Coyle, Dermot McKenna, Gráinne Healy, Piaras Walsh, Elaine Caffrey and Seamus Coyle in the Léiriú Stáitse (Stage PresentationRince.

The County Winners will proceed to the Leinster Semi-final which takes place in The Downs GAA hall next Sunday March 4^th.  A big thank you must go to Catherine Daly for her continued commitment to keeping Scór alive in Ballycomoyle. There is no doubt that we wouldn’t be boasting nine county medals today without her efforts. In particular the Club of the year award is a testament to her powers of persuasion on these wintry evenings when it would be all too easy to sit at home by the fire. We appreciate the little push.
