SENIOR CLUB We played Colmcille at home in Dunbeggan Park in our final game in the the Div. 3 league on Saturday last 19th Sept , this game was a lot more competitive than the previous week against a very well organised Colmcille side, there forwards were well on top in the opening stages with some well taken scores. We went in at the break with it all to do in the second half Grattan Óg 0-04 Colmcille 1-10 our scores coming from John Hand 0-03 (2fs); Reuben Murray 0-01 (1f), A great effort in the second half where we kept Colmcille to just a goal , if we had converted some of the chances we created it would have been a different outcome, once noticeable feature of the second half was two superbly taken points from play by Gerry Victory that were worth the entrance fee alone. Well done to all on a gallant effort where in the end we just came up short. We can take a lot of positivies form this game heading into our championship quarter final game. Our Junior championship quarter final took place in a sun drenched Michael Moran Park on Sunday last 27th Sept where we came up against a very spirited Legan side, right from the off we stamped our authority on this game with some well taken points early on and after twenty minutes gone in the first half we were eight points ahead , with a great workethic all over the field it produced two well taken goals in the half , our first goal scored by Kevin Jones and our second by Reuben Murray who fired a rocket to the net after a surging run, we went in at halftime Grattan Óg 2-12 Legan 0-6, our first half scores coming from John Hand 0-6 ( 2fs ); Reuben Murray 1-2; Stephen Farrell 0-2; Rory Howlin 0-1; Emmet Clarke 0-1; Kevin Jones 1-0; all that was needed now heading into the second half was to keep our focus and continue the great workethic like the first half , Legan gradually tried to get back into the game but once we tagged on a few more scores we never looked back and in the end ran out confortable winners Grattan Óg 2-18 Legan 1-11 , two noticeable highlights of the game was a brilliant save at the death by Reuben Murray who had to deputise for our goalkeeper Conor Gallagher due to a black guard and also the outstanding display of point shooting by John Hand who scored 10 in total six from play and 4 from frees, our second half scores coming from John Hand 0-4 ( 2fs ); Rory Howlin 0-1; Wille John Mcdermott, well done to all on an outstanding effort and a superb win on a day where we scored 2-14 from play which is exceptional, thanks also to the great support on the day , we now drive on to the semi –final where we will meet Colmcille where at the time of writing no date has been set so check upcoming fixtures , also all our games can be followed on our Twitter page ( @grattanoggaa ).

SENIOR CLUB We played our second game in the Junior championship on Thursday last at home in Dunbeggan Park v Killashee , played in very soft underfoot conditions throughout it was a game where we struggled at times to get the upper hand , once we did there was no looking back with some excellent scores throughout particularly from the boot of Reuben Murray 0-4 (2f) who has been in superb form of late, our goal coming from the hard working Kevin Jones who finished well to the net, nine points from play isn’t a bad return and each one came from great team work , also to get on the score sheet along with Reuben & Kevin were Gary Gilchrist 0-2; Niall Nerney 0-1; Stephen Farrell 0-1; Jack Finn 0-1; James Finn 0-1; Clayton Finn 0-1, well done to all on a great effort and win that puts us into the quarter final where at the time of writing a date has yet to be confirmed, bigger challenges lie ahead which we are well capable of taking on and hopefully by the time our quarter final came comes around we might be allowed some of our loyal supporters to view our games, Final Score : Grattan Óg 1-12 Killashee 1-03, Next up and with a quick turnaround we played Clonguish away in the Div. 3 league on the following Sunday last, this was a very entertaining game with a well organised Clonguish outfit who were hard to break down at times , some excellent scores once again from play 12 in total were on view , we lead at the break 1-12 to 0-7, clonguish really pushed us right to the end but we weathered the storm , Clayton Finn scoring four excellent points in the second half period , it was good to see John Hand chipping in with a point also in the second half as he is returns from injury, others to get on the score sheet on the day were Reuben Murray 1-08 (5f) ; James Moran 0-1; Kevin Jones 0-1; Gary Gilchrist 0-1; Stephen Farrell 0-1, in the end it was a well merited win and one which will hold us in good stead going forward on the rest of our journey in our quest for some silverware.

U16s: We played our final game in the championship at home in Dunbeggan Park on Saturday last v Drumlish knowing a well would give us a slim chance of progressing to the next stage, alas but it wasn’t to be as we just came up short in the end. It was a very entertaining contest with both teams needing the points, a huge effort was put in by all the squad on the day especially when it looked like Drumlish would run away with it, in the end we came up short by 3 points Grattan Gaels 4-7 Drumlish 3-13. The U16C turned out to be a very competitive championship with 6 games for each team been played which was a first in a long time at this age grade, we probably left points after us in our first two games which didn’t help and along with a couple of injuries who knows what might have been.
