The Game - Update

U18's  
The Western Gaels Minors resumed their Special League Campaign, after the Exams break, with a resounding victory over Drumlish/Dromard. This sets up a mouth watering final with Slashers which is scheduled for this Sunday, June 28th. (Exact details tbc).  It was a great display and the Gaels went in at half time 1-8 to 0-4 up after some brave defending from Niall Keane & Co. in Defence.  Shane Maguire was on target in the first half with the goal and some fine points with Daniel Howlin, Iarla O' Sullivan and Niall Nerney amoung the other scorers. In the second half the opposition fought back with a goal but the result was put beyond doubt with two second half goals from Iarla O' Sullivan and Oran Kenny. Sean Campbell impressed on his midfield debut while other players to catch the eye were Stephen Farrell in half back, James Moran midfield and Dan Howlin, Conor English and Iarla O'Sullivan up front.
