Shannon Notes march 15th 2008

This week's notes are probably the shortest of the season so far due to the lack of game time at the weekend. Our Seniors AIB Cup semi final with Galwegians was postponed due to the severity of the rain fall in Galway over the last week or so. Unfortunate as it was the lads will have to readjust their schedule for the rearranged fixture on April the 5th, a week prior to the televised final in Athlone the following week.

Another weekend without a fixture sees the seniors get a rare consecutive week off.

The big game this weekend is the Munster Junior Cup quarter final when Tralee visit Coonagh on Sunday. The Seconds have been in fine form in the cup so far and they have a great opportunity to advance to the semi final. Sunday's kickoff is at 2.30pm

At underage the U/13's got four seasons of weather in Coonagh on Sunday morning for their penultimate North Munster League match against Kilrush. The visitors settled very well, scoring a converted try after 30 seconds. This served to galvanise our lads, and first half tries followed from Conor Burns and Conor Glynn, the first converted by Joey Purcell. In the second half we ran in four more with two converted from substitute Greg O'Shea and one each from captain Patrick Kearns and man of the match Conor Glynn. Kilrush responded with one of their own mid way through the second half. but the lads had more than enough done to leave the final score at 38-12.

The club's annual Golf classic take place on the 15th and 16th of May and we have tee times still available and anyone interested can contact Jack Keane at jack@cratloewood.com for further details

Castletroy College are riding on the crest of a wave at the moment and we take this opportunity to congratulate their junior side on their historic win and wish their senior team the very best on Monday.

Another person we wish the best of luck to is Leanne Moore who's in the You're a Star semi final on Saturday evening. She's been brilliant so far and will continue to need the votes of everyone involved with the Club. Text Star 13 to 53125
