Match Report from Donegal Post 24th June

Bundoran Minors in action with ‘The County’ this Weekend

Micheal Mc Eniff, Peter Mc Gonagle and Asley Mulhearn will be representing the Bundoran club on the Donegal Minor Squad this weekend against Down. We wish them and the rest of the team well. Hopefully Down will not know what hit them.

23 June 2009

 The senior match against Carndonagh has been changed to Sunday in Gaelic Park to facilitate fans going to the County minor match on Saturday. The best of luck to the Bundoran boys as well as the rest of the team in that match.

 There was no winner in the Bundoran GAA Lotto draw. The No’s drawn were 11,12,14,15,19. As there was no match 4 winner 6 people drawn all received €25.00 each. Next weeks draw takes place in The Railway Bar on Monday 29th June at 7pm.

Bundoran Minors impress for ‘The County’

While the senior team had a bad day at the office the county minor team etched out a 3 point win against the Antrim Minors. This may not have been a vintage team performance from the young donegal men but a win under their belts and the pressure of studying for the state examinations now passed means that concentration will be much more intensified on progressing further in the Championship.  Bundoran can take great pride in their part  in insuring the county progressed. Exceptional performances from Peter Mc Gonagle and a ‘Man of the Match’ performance from Micheal Mc Eniff insures that they are definate starters for the match against Down. A great start by Donegal saw them score six points with three from the boot of Micheal Mc Eniff . At Half-time the score was 9-6 in Donegals favour and while Antrim came close to parity but Micheal scored his fourth point to restore a two point lead. Two more scores from Molloy and Mc brearty put paid to Antrims chances and while they scored one more point it never looked like Donegal were going to lose this one. The match finishing 14-11 in Donegals favour. Another win against Down even with a close scoreline will more than suffice.

Bundoran Bord Na nOg Annual Social was as usual a huge success. A huge vote of thanks to all the organisers and especially the musicians who turn out year in year out to support this wonderful event. All sponsors deserve a vote of thanks and the people of Bundoran that support this event every year should also be commended. Although it is easy to see why people support this event. It is a great night out and one wonders how any work was done on Wednesday as the night did seem to run rather late. Some photos below will give you some idea of how the night went.

June 29th 2008
The Bundoran senior team got back on the winning trail after two heavy defeats in their previous two league games. They beat Urris by 3-14 to 0-9 with ten different players getting on the score-sheet. Next up is Sean MacCumhaills in the championship. The Reserves also won but had to endure a spirited comeback from Urris – leading by 3-8 to 0-1 at half-time they only had five points to spare at the final whistle on a 3-12 to 4-4 scoreline.

At underage level , despite some quite heavy showers a successful under-8 blitz was run in Gaelic park on Saturday morning. Many thanks to all the parents who helped out, to Pat Walsh who prepared the field and to Pat, Barry Keaney and Paul McGrath for referee-ing. The under-14s lost at home to table-toppers Ardara in Gaelic Park last Friday on a 1-6 to 3-11 score-line and their next game is away to Kilcar on Wednesday July 2nd and at home to Four Masters the following Wednesday. The under-16s play Four Masters in their Donegal Adventure Centre semi-final on Friday July 4th and the minors are out in the Britton All-Sports Regional League Final against Dungloe on Wednesday July 7th. The Under-10s travel to Pettigo for a four team blitz that will also involve Naomh Brid and Aodh Ruadh on Saturday July 4th. The bus will leave St Macartan’s National School at 10.30.

June 23rd 2008
Congratulations to Trevor McGlone, Lawrence Goan and the under-16s who won the County Division 1 under-16 title last Friday evening in Convoy. In a gritty display Bundoran recovered from the concession of 1-1 in the first minute to record a 1-13 to 2-5 victory against Milford who, along with St Eunans, were their bogey team at this level over the last five years. Two points behind 2-2 to 0-6 at the break, a Brandon Goodwin goal early in the second half gave Bundoran a lead they were never to relinquish.

Elsewhere it was a less encouraging week as the Seniors fielded a weakened side for the second week in succession and suffered a crushing home defeat at the hands of Naomh Mhuire. The Reserves, on the other hand, had a comfortable 2-14 to 0-11 victory. The u-14s also lost at home to Killybegs. This coming week sees the u-21s start their championship campaign against Moville in Gaelic Park, while the u-14s have games scheduled against Ardara (at home) tonight Thursday and Kilcar, away, next Wednesday. The Seniors and Reserves are due to play Urris in Gaelic Park in Gaelic Park this Sunday.

The News and Views town league reached its finale on Saturday in Gaelic Park with James Cassidy-managed Munster coming from behind to defeat Gerry Oates-managed Connacht in a thrilling game. Leinster defeated Connacht in the third place play-off. This coming Saturday an u-8 blitz will be held in Gaelic Park.
A note has already been sent home to parents askingthem to please help with this annual event. Finally, there are still places left in the VHI GAA Cul Camp.
Forms available from John McEniff or Teresa in the school.

Elvis is not dead he is just playing GAA

Who said Elvis was dead…. The people of Bundoran are not going mad. 30 Elvis’s were playing football in Gaelic Park on Saturday last. A large crowd cheered on an array of Elvis impersonators as they played on the ‘Green Green grass of home’.  They were ‘all shook up’ in their efforts to please the crowd. 

In a close match in aid of Downs Syndrome Ireland, locals got into the spirit of the Elvis Festival by donning their Elvis outfits to raise a magnificent €2000.

A bad Hair day

Is this an Elvis I see before me!!!

Elvis

Donegal Elvis ignored

Why is there a cat on my head

Love Me Tender Please

00 for a very worthy cause. The teams were also supported on the sidelines by Elvis performers from all over Ireland and the UK who performed their favourite tunes. While  the standard of dress was exceptional and the hair and shades were fabulous it is probably lucky that Elvis was a singer because of the 30 on parade in Gaelic Park there were none that looked like they were going to be selected for the Elvis national side. There was alot of rock and rolling on the pitch and the referee was kept busy for the entire match. A pitch incursion which saw Brian Mc Eniff ( Team Manager) attack the referee and floor him in a dangerous ‘Teddy Bear’ hug and with Sean Mc Eniff having a very bad hair day both of them are lucky they were not locked up.  There may not have been a ‘jailhouse rock’ but Down Syndrome Ireland will not be marking ’ Return to sender ‘ on the cheque they will receive in the coming days which will support the local association.

Seamus Grenaghan to be entered into the Bundoran Hall of Fame

Seamus Grenaghan will be entered into Bundoran GAA Hall of Fame officially on Friday 21st of Nov at the club Dinner dance.

And when you look at his sporting resume all you can say is why did it take so long?. The list of sporting achievements makes it difficult to know where to start.  A long and distinguished career in club football started with  St Josephs and finished with Bundoran.

He possesses 7 Senior Championship medals with St Josephs and 1 with Bundoran. He has 5 league medals, 4 achieved with St Josephs and 1with Bundoran

Honours also include medals in intermediate championship, juvenile championship, and a hurling award when playing with Erne valley

That list of awards would look impressive on any C.V but  we have not even mentioned his county and provincial achievements yet

Seamie has 2 Ulster Championship medals with Donegal, 3 Lagan cup medals and 1 Mc Kenna cup medal.

Throw in 1 Railway Cup appearance, 3 Ulster Club Championship medals, an All- Ireland Club medal with St Josephs, an Ulster Championship Junior hurling medal. Oh! just one more thing he played for Donegal from 1965 until 1972

All this demanded great commitment and Seamus had it in spades. Seamus is a great personality and is the first to say that his success stemmed from the great support he had from his family  and his work colleagues. There were many times when his work colleagues stood in for him at work on the milk run so that he could pursue this continued onslaught of success on the playing fields of Ireland. So it is only fitting that his family , wife Joan and 5 daughters Julie Jacqueline, Elaine, Leslie and Colleen will have the opportunity to see him receive a most deserved award in The Great Northern Hotel on Friday 21st November.

Bundoran Under 21s win County ‘B’ Final

Under 21 B Championship Final

Report by John Mc Eniff

 

Bundoran            3-8                                          Sean MacCumhaills                         1-3

 

The 2009 u-21 B championship has found its way to Bundoran. It was fourth time lucky for Pat Walsh who had seen his team fall at the final hurdle in this competition in each of last three years. Despite the emphatic nature of the score-line it was the final quarter before Bundoran shook off a tenacious and committed MacCumhaill’s challenge. Bundoran, though, were stronger through most areas of the pitch and while the twin town’s side had the margin back to four points with fifteen minutes to go, the Seasiders moved up a gear and hit an unanswered 1-4 to close out the game.

 

MacCumhaill’s started the game without their senior star Stephen O’Reilly. Darren Brown took his allotted position at full-forward and John Lynch moved to the middle of the park. From the outset Bundoran were on the attack, Darragh Hoey going close and then Chris Patton pulling off a good save from Jonathan McHale. Jonny Ward won the break from the resultant 45m and lofted over the game’s opening score. The Bundoran corner-forward also bagged the game’s opening goal three minutes later, running onto a pass from Shane Moohan and firing the ball to the corner of the net. Bundoran were well on top at this stage with Ward particularly prominent, but they were not making it count on the scoreboard with two kickable frees and a 45 unconverted. MacCumhaills on the other hand were making no headway, particularly upfront. Any balls that found their way into their full forward line were won by Bundoran with Gavin Croghan, Ryan Walsh and Diarmuid McCaughey winning all the early battles for possession. It was the end of the first quarter before MacCumhaills finally got a shot at the target – Darren O’Leary winning a free which Brian Patton converted. Bundoran responded well with Ward setting up Ashley Mulhern, whose point moved the margin back out to four, and when Mulhern returned the compliment minutes later Ward’s low drive went wide.

 

MacCumhaills were finally beginning to make some headway, John Doherty recording their first wide on the twenty minute mark. Shortly after Kevin McManus, in the Bundoran goal, had to get down smartly to turn Chris McDaid’s shot around the post. O’Leary pointed a 50 m free to reduce the margin to a goal a score-line that did not reflect Bundoran’s early dominance. However, in the last five minutes of the half, Bundoran found their shooting boots to double their score and go into the break winning by 2-4 to 0-2. The first of these scores came from a turnover when Ciaran Gunn dispossessed Darren McGowan around the middle of the park. Bundoran’s McHale secured the ball and went on a strong 30 m run before being hauled down and Ward converted the free. Patton then saved from Moohan, but a sideline ball into the danger area was well fielded by Ciaran McCaughey who cleverly fed Darragh Hoey and the centre forward gave Patton no chance with a blistering drive for Bundoran’s second goal. McCaughey followed up with a well taken point and an eight point deficit for MacCumhaills to re-motivate themselves with during the break.

 

Stephen O’Reilly replaced Lee Henderson at the break but he had little immediate impact with Bundoran looking more comfortable in the early minutes. MacCumhaills were not going to relinquish their title easily though. Darren Brown hit the post on six minutes, Packie Gallen had an opportunity from the rebound but McManus saved well.  O’Leary pointed the resultant 45 and the twin town’s side were visibly lifted. A turnaround looked on the books five minutes later when O’Leary’s strong run ended with a shot to the top left-hand corner of the net and the margin was back to four points, 2-4 to 1-3. The goal was their first score from play and while it also turned out to be their last it was not for want of effort.

 

Rossa McKiernan started the Bundoran comeback, breaking forward to take a pass from Shane McGowan and dissecting the posts from distance. Darren Brown posted a wide and then McManus saved well from Brian Patton. Michael McEniff replaced the injured Ciaran Gunn on the three-quarter mark and quickly got his name on the score-board taking a pass from Shane Moohan and pointing from a difficult angle. The margin was back out to six points and while it didn’t deflate MacCumhaills it calmed Bundoran nerves. On twenty minutes a hospital pass to Ashley Mulhern saw the young minor flattened and Darragh Hoey stepped up to convert what was a tricky spot kick. He had an easier job five minutes later when Jonathan McHale was fouled and MacCumhaill’s grip on the silverware was getting looser. It was almost prised off minutes later. McKiernan broke up a MacCumhaills attack, fed Peter McGonigle who ran 30 metres before passing to Ward. He unselfishly squared the ball to McEniff who stepped inside an off-balance Grindle and slotted the ball home. The game ended in thundering hailstones with the twin town’s team gamely attacking the Bundoran goal, but it was the Seasiders who were the deserving victors and in truth they were much the better side on the day.

 

The spine of the Bundoran team were very strong throughout and best for Bundoran were captain Shane McGowan,  Diarmuid McCaughey, Adam Dunmore and the two Jonathans – McHale and Ward. That said, however, it was a very good team performance and MacCumhaills were unfortunate to meet a Bundoran side where not a single player had an off-day and as a team functioned very well. The fact that they only conceded a single score from play is indicative of how well they defended as a unit. For the losers, Gerard Grindle. John Lynch, Darren McGowan and John Doherty played well, while Darren O’Leary really caught the eye with a never-say-die performance. Terence McGinley presented the trophy on behalf of the county board, thanking Four Masters for the use of the pitch and the officials for a well-officiated match. While the hits were hard and a couple of flashpoints emerged, referee Tony Gallagher and his linesmen Terence McShea and Shaun Campbell always had what was a free-flowing game well under control.

 

Bundoran: Kevin McManus, Ryan Walsh, Diarmuid McCaughey, Gavin Croghan, Rossa McKiernan (0-1), Adam Dunmore, Peter McGonigle, Shane McGowan, Ciaran McCaughey (0-1), Jonathan McHale, Darragh Hoey (1-2, 2f), Ciaran Gunn, Jonathan Ward (1-2, 1f), Ashley Mulhern (0-1), Shane Moohan Subs: Michael McEniff  (1-1, for Ciaran Gunn, 45 minutes), Terry Munday (for Jonathan McHale, 55 minutes), Jamie Spratt (for Jonathan Ward, 55 minutes).

 

Sean MacCumhaills: Chris Patton, Gerard Grindle, Garvan Mulligan, Chris McLaughlin, John Lynch, Mark Boyce, Darren McGowan, Brian Patton (0-1, 1f), John Doherty, Darren O’Leary (1-2, 2f), Packie Gallen, Chris McDaid, Darren Brown, Lee Henderson. Subs: Stephen O’Reilly (for Lee Henderson for Lee Henderson, 30 mins), Michael Lynch, Connor Patton, Shane McCool, Cormac Teague, Andrew Doherty and Dean Hannigan

Donation that will save lives

 

A gift that could save a life

It is not often that you can say a donation will save lives but with this you can. Arthur Rafferty of The Birds Nest recently presented a defibrilator to Bundoran GAA Club. Already 4 of the members are qualified in using it and it is so satisfying for all members to know that this defibrilator is available should it be so required. It is a donation that the Club is delighted to have but hopes it never has to use. Many thanks to Arthur Rafferty and the Birds Nest for this most thoughtful donation.

The All-Ireland Senior and Minor football trophies visited Bundoran on Tuesday and were welcomed at St Macartans National School , Magh Ene Secondary School and at the clubs juvenile presentation in the Holyrood Hotel . 

Many thanks to the Tyrone County Board for facilitating the visit of such an  illustrious duo. Also many thanks to Cusbert Donnelly the escort of the great cups who was exceptional in portraying the significance and history of both trophies. He was most eloquent in espousing the goodwill that the trophies carry with them on their visits to all parts of Ireland and various other parts of the world. He took time to explain to students in Magh Ene that while various counties win the All-Ireland and become the gaurdians of the trophies for a year that it is the people of Ireland that the cups belong to. He pointed out that there is no national trophy that is as accessible as these trophies. He also emphasised to the students that it takes huge effort and hardwork to achieve an All- Ireland medal and that whatever field of work or sport that the students become involved in that they should always aim to be ‘the best that they can be’ . We wish him well in his travels between now and September and look forward to a Donegal Ambassador carrying the mantle as well as he next season.

The Juvenile presentaion night was a successful night in itself and great thanks as always to Bord Na nOg and all the parents for such a successful evening.

BUNDORAN IN CRUISE CONTROL AT CARNDONAGH

 

Carndonagh 1-5 

Bundoran 4-11

 

Most who attended this Intermediate Football Championship First Round tie were expecting a tight encounter. An hour and a half later the home supporters were left wondering what  happened as Carndonagh were thoroughly dismantled by an impressive Bundoran side. The omens were not good for the seniors as their reserve side was beaten earlier in the day by the men from down the county but this capitulation from Carndonagh was totally unexpected. In fact such was their domination Bundoran could count themselves unfortunate not to have won by more. Along with their advantage in terms of size the away side were given far too much freedom through the middle by Carndonagh who suffered an off day. Bundoran racked up an impressive eight different scorers and the fact that one of their players scored as many points as the entire Carndonagh side tells you all you need to know about this game.

 

It took a while for the game to get going and Bundoran drew first blood with a free over by the imposing Christy Keaney. Keaney was an impressive presence throughout and hit just wide moments later after a driving run. Carndonagh had their chances too with Darren Burke hitting wide from a free and Ryan Davenport sending in a ball that was hit straight at Kevin McManus. Carndonagh did draw level with Burke hitting over from a tight angle. Unfortunately for Carndonagh this would be their last score of the match as Bundoran ran riot with an unanswered 2-4 before the interval.

 

The onslaught started when a good flowing Bundoran move ended with Michael McEniff slamming home past Martin Mooney. The Carndonagh custodian had to pick the ball out of his net again within three minutes; Peter McGonagle rampaged through the Carndonagh defence and laid the ball off to Christy Keavney who gave Mooney no chance from close range. Carndonagh couldn’t deal with Bundoran at this point and conceded again when Dessie McNamara put over from play on the 20 metre line. Christy Keavney went 10 better scoring from 30 meters. Bundoran were toying with the home side at this point and Tommy Hourihane sent over a great score from 40. It could have been worse for Carndonagh as Hourihane missed a free  and also shot wide before the break. Bundoran added one more score when Christy Keaney hit over after being teed up by Hourihan.

 

Things couldn’t get much worse for Carndonagh and to their credit they were much better in the second half. Darren Burke started the mini comeback with a good score from a tricky position after good play from Ryan Davenport. They grabbed another one when Dominic Doherty scored from distance. Carndonagh were piling forward and could count themselves unlucky not to increase their tally with Declan O’Donnell having a goal bound effort blocked and Burke hitting the post from a free.

 

Bundoran responded with Gerard McCaughey firing over after a good run through the Carn defence and Christy Keaney with a free from 14 yards Burke grabbed another for Carndonagh in between. Burke had another chance but put his 45 wide. Christy Keaney claimed another two points for the visitors and Niall Dunne claimed his first of the day after being teed up by Gerard McCaughey.

 

Bundoran effectively ended the game when Hourihan scored their third goal after being set up by McEniff. Bundoran continued the rout with an easy score from sub Fergal McKearnan. Carndonagh gained consolation scores through Gerard Doherty whose point went in off the bar and a goal for Cathal O’Kane. The Carndonagh faithful hoped that this would at least make the scoreline respectable but almost immediately Declan Rafferty banged in another goal to make the demolition job complete. It looks like Carndonagh have an impossible mission on July 5^th in Bundoran.

Bundoran  Reserves had an equally good startin their competition recording a 2-12 to 2-7 victory against the same opponents.
