He also referred to refereeing matters and said that it was important that more club members gave consideration to becoming referees. He congratulated Shay Reynolds on the work he had done as Club Draw co-ordinator over the years and thanked all those who had contributed to club life in any way throughout 2006.

GOAL Mile
Noel Mahon has been in contact to express his thanks to everyone who participated or helped out in any way with the 2007 GOAL mile. The event was a great success. Noel also asks that any outstanding sponsorship cards be returned as soon as possible as he is working diligently on the compilation of a final figure for this year’s event.
Membership
Club membership is currently available from officers of the club priced at Eur30 for players and Eur10 for non-playing membership.
Scor na nÓg
Our Question Time team were involved in a thrilling Scór na nÓg Question Time final, which required five tie break rounds, before eventually Fenagh St Caillin’s earned the title. It was hard luck on our gallant trio of Niall O Connor. Paul Dockery and Damian Mc Gowan, but they certainly performed exceptionally on the night and were most unlucky not to progress.

Masonite Shield
The rearranged fixture with Gortletteragh was played in Cornageeha on Saturday last. Having built up a six point lead with a few minutes remaining, we held on for a two point victory following a late Gortletteragh onslaught. Having finished level with Annaduff on points, it was agreed to toss a coin for the right to play Allen Gaels in the Shield final. In our second victory over Annaduff in a few weeks (!) we now play in the Shield final next weekend. Somehow though, this time I don’t think Annaduff were too disappointed.
The team and scorers against Gortletteragh was: Feargal Mc Gill, Seamus Mallon, Morgan Shanley, Jason Conroy, Shane Conroy, John Mc Guinness, Conor Mc Cauley, Gary Mc Closkey (0-1), Michael Duignan (0-1), Trevor Howard (0-2), Colm Farrell (0-1), David O Connor, Niall Mc Gowan (0-4), Robert Moran and Brian Conroy (0-1). Sub used: Mark Mc Closkey
Best Wishes
Next Saturday club player, underage coach and referee Brian Mallon walks down the aisle to tie the knot with Edel Hughes from Ballinalee, Co Longford. We’d like to extend our best wishes to a very popular couple for a great day on Saturday and long life and happiness together.
GOAL Mile
You’ll all be aware by now that the GOAL mile will be taking place at our club grounds on New Year’s Day. Former player and mentor Noel Mahon is again the man in charge and Noel has a list of celebrities lined up for the day which includes Eleanor Shanley, Charlie Mc Gettigan and Mick Flavin.
Sponsorship cards are currently in circulation around the parish and further afield and in the context of the hundreds of euros that will be spent on the trimmings of Christmas this year, we’d ask you to dig deep to help those less fortunate and contribute to the GOAL cause. Music, a Monster Raffle and Charity Auction will follow in the Copper Still with The Rodeo Man, Sean Mahon, conducting proceedings and I hear that among the many top class items that will be up for auction is a signed hurl from Kilkenny’s master hurling craftsman DJ Carey.
If you would like to make a donation, feel like walking or running the mile, or require any additional information, give Noel a call on 087 2646931 and he’ll set you straight.

After a close first half, Bornacoola opened up a three point gap midway through the second half to lead 0-7 to 0-4 but four unanswered points from the home side left them leading by the minimum with time almost up, before Colm Farrell levelled matters at 0-8 apiece to ensure a share of the spoils.

We played Annaduff in the second series of the Shield on Saturday evening last in difficult weather conditions in Páirc Uí Choilligh. The home team raced into a 0-5 to 0-1 lead after 20 muinutes, before we found our feet and fought back strongly to level at 0-6 apiece by half time. A scramble goal, finished to the net by Niall Mc Gowan early in the 2nd half handed control to Bornacoola and while Annaduff came strongly in the final quarter, we held on for a three point victory.
