SENIORS
Two weeks after a humbling championship exit at the hands of Cavan Gaels, the Seniors hosted the Gaels again in their final league match knowing a win was needed to qualify for the league semi-finals, at the expense of the Gaels. In blustery conditions, two very changed sides from the last outing played out an action packed encounter that saw the Stars prevail by 5-7 to 0-11.
The Juniors face Killygarry in the Junior B Final in Virginia on Saturday 24th September @ 4pm as they look to secure their first Junior B since 2002. Best of luck to everyone involved.
Commiseration to the Boys U-14’s who played Lacken twice last week on 3G pitch in Kingspan Breffni Park in two thrilling championship semi-finals. On Monday night, they finished level on 3-6 to 1-12 before having to make the long trek back again on the Thursday night where they agonisingly lost out in a classic by 4-10 to 4-9. Hard luck to all involved but well done on two super performances.
The Kingscourt Stars GAA Juvenile Club’s Annual Fundraising draw took place last week and the results were as follows: The 1st Prize of two All-Ireland Final Tickets, Dinner & Overnight stay in Regency Hotel and €200 spending money went to Aoife Kelly, Skryne, Co. Meath. The remaining cash prizes from €200 down to €50 went to Katie Sexton, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, Patrick Morris, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, Cian Murtagh, Cavan Town, Brendan Morris, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, Eoin Lynch, Muff, Kingscourt, Eoin Kirk, The Curragh, Co. Kildare and E Hanratty, Crossmaglen, Co. Armagh.
So, despite not making the final, somehow Meath still manage to trump all the Dubs looking for tickets, but I guess the Dubs had the last laugh…. A huge thanks again to all who bought and sold the tickets and supported the club in doing so.
GOOD LUCK
