St Josephs Charlestown 2 - 6 Coláiste Muire Ballymote

The lads picked up their second win in the FAI Connacht League Vs St Joseph’s of Charlestown on Friday 14/10/2022. 

Despite the scoreline, the game was very close for the majority of the match. The first 10 minutes was cagey with both teams defending very well.  However, it was the away side (Coláiste Muire) that took lead through a very well taken penalty by Ollie Nerney. From there, St Josephs began to get on top and their number 11 played a lovely pass into their striker who found the net with a wonderful strike to leave the game at 1-1 with 25 minutes played.  St Josephs had two great opportunities to pull ahead before half time but Matthew Hunt in nets was in fantastic form. 

The opening 10 minutes of the second half followed more of the same with both teams missing glorious chances to go ahead. However, on the 56th minute Mark Dunleavy went past two players down the left wing and crossed the ball into the box which ended up in the St Josephs net. St Josephs came back strong again and scored a great goal to leave the game at 2-2 with 25 minutes left to play.  It was from here Coláiste Muire began to take control of the game with Thomas Sweeney and Oisin Brennan dictating the play in the middle of the park. 

The third goal came from a misplaced kickout by St Joseph’s goalkeeper and Ollie Nerney was at hand to slot it home. Coláiste Muire began to show their class and great play by James Lavin set up Oisin Brennan who scored to leave the game at 4-2.  The fifth goal came two minutes later when James Lavin again beat two players in the box and stuck it away with his left foot. Then, substitute Steven Hannon came on and got in on the act with a beautiful right footed finish to the roof of the net to leave the game at 6-2. 

Well done to the lads on their second win and will now look forward to their final group fixture V Belmullet in a few weeks time.

The 1st & 2nd Years took part in a blitz at the Leitrim Centre of Excellence in Annaduff on Tuesday (11/10/2022). 

The lads were due to play two games but one school unfortuately could not make it. So, the lads played one game Vs Carrigallen and did very well. It was a very even game for the most part but Colaiste Muire came out on top winning the game by 10 points with everyone getting to take part.  

Here are some pictures of the lads in action: 

All TY students will attend work experience for a one-week block from Monday 12th to Friday 16th December.  If there is difficulty in securing a placement, please ensure to inform Ms. Carty, the work experience co-ordinator.  

TY students are expected to return to school for Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th December as there are school activities organised for them.

Kind regards,

Well done to the Senior Boys Gaa Team who overcame Carrigallon of Leitrim, on a scoreline of 1-20 to 0-14 on Monday 10th October.

Carrigallon got in charge of the game from the start with Ballymote finding the going difficult to get to terms with the oppositions strength. After the quater hour mark Coláiste Muire got going and started to get scores on the board. The first half finished all square at 0-9 a piece.

From the start of the second half it was Ballymote who took control of the game right through to the end. Ballymote’s fitness took over and Carrigallon couldn’t stop the runners from deep. Credit must go to all the team on their performance.

Ballymote now await the winners of Colaiste Iascaigh or Lough Allen. The final of the Sligo/Leitrim PPS D Competition will be played in the Dome in Connacht GAA COE Bekon, date and time TBC.
