O’Rourke Cup
Clann na nGael 3-6 Boyle 0-8
The Clann na nGael Athlone Springs Hotel senior team returned to winning ways with a win over Boyle on Tuesday evening last, in Johnstown. Clann were in sizzling form from the start as Ronan Gavin rattled the back of the net, before the Scoreboard had a chance to warm up. Clann continued their onslaught and goals from Enda Kenny and Seanie Walsh set Clann up for a comfortable half time lead. The second half was a scrappy affair, but the lads held their nerve to record a deserved win. The win moves Clann up into a mid table position and in with a chance of making the league play-offs.
Team: Colin Nicholson, Derek Egan, Brian Goode, Ray Fallon, Niall McManus, Darragh Shine, Cathal Duignan, Gary Shine, Graham Petit, Seanie Walsh, Darragh Lennon, Enda Kenny, Ronan Gavin, Matt Scally, Darragh Petit. Subs: Stevie Flynn, Emmet Kenny, Darragh Egan, Alan Dunne, Emmet Rock.

Under 12 League
Training continues every Wednesday evening at 7.00pm sharp in Johnstown for all U-12s. The Roscommon U-12 Early Summer League has just recently finished. Clann fielded 3 teams in the league, in Divisions 1, 3 and 5 respectively. The idea behind fielding 3 teams was to get as much football as possible for all the players involved and to try to improve all the basic skills. This proved successful as all the players have shown a great improvement. Clann finished joint second in Division 1 on 10 points after 7 games. In Division 3, Clann finished third in the group on 8 points after 6 games and in Division 5, Clann finished second in the group on 10 points after 7 games.
