ILEN ROVERS: Well done to the Minor Ladies who won against O’Donovan Rossa in the West Cork FL. Their previously posted game against Caheragh is now postponed and is due to be played at the end of August. The Ilen Rovers/Gabriel Rangers U17 team had a busy but unsuccessful week. They had a heartbreaking defeat against Tadhg naGael, 3-10 to 0-17. It was a fine team performance up to conceding three late goals. The team’s cause wasn’t helped by an illness to their talisman Sean Connolly who was also missing for their league semi-final v Kilmichael four days later. In that game the lads were no match and took a heavy defeat although positives can be taken from the fact that good fighting spirit was seen in the second half. The next championship game is at home to Naomh Aban next Wednesday. Ilen Rovers have added an extra day to their clothes collection, on Tuesday 22nd from 7-8pm in both Rath and Church Cross pitch. If anyone wants to arrange to drop off clothes before then please phone Trish (0876901917) or Margaret (0870740240). The U13 boys have a league match on Thursday 17th at 7pm away to Naomh Abàn. The U12 boys play Bantry next Monday. The Junior B team play Goleen on Sunday in Durrus at 1.30pm.
