Our senior ladies were in action on Thursday night at home to Forkhill. A very strong performance from the entire team saw them claim a very comfortable win. In preparation for their intermediate championship the girls will train on Monday evening at 6.45pm at the field and 6.45pm on Saturday evening also at the field. The intermediate championship game will take on Wednesday 6th July at home against Killeavy with a 7.00pm throw-in.
Minor Boys
The minor boys have a home game against Cullyhanna on Monday evening and all players are asked to meet at the club at 6.30pm.
U16 Girls
Training continues on Tuesday evening at 6.30pm – 7.00pm in the field. There will likely be a league game later in the week, but no details are available yet.
U10s
On Wednesday night our U10s travelled to Newtown and both sides produced a very good enjoyable game of football. The team were back on the road on Saturday to take part in Maghery’s U10 blitz. The Shane’s started with a win against Downpatrick, followed by two narrow defeats against Donaghmore and Clan na Gael. Training continues 6pm Tuesday and Friday evenings at the field.
U8s
Our U8s also travelled to Maghery on Saturday to take part in their annual blitz. The young Shanes won their first five games, beating Doire Tres, Downpatrick, Donaghmore , Pearse Ogs and Clan na Gael. This string of excellent results saw the Shanes through to the cup semi- final where St Peters were the opposition. After a great game of football the scores were level at full-time and extra-time was played. The extra-time format was next score wins and unfortunately for the Shanes us after a few minutes played and with chances at either end it was St Peters who kicked the winning point to progress to the final which they went on to win. Our young players produced great football throughout the day and well done to them and their management team. Training continues as usual Tuesday and Friday evenings at 6.00pm at the field.
U6s
U6 training has now stopped for the summer months and will recommence in September. Well done to all the young players and their mentors for their commitment throughout the year and we hope everyone has a great summer. Last Wednesday evening saw the young Shanes each being presented with a Certificate of Achievement for their endeavour during the past year and we would like to thank Armagh minor footballers Eamon McCabe and Matthew Girvan for presenting them.
Meabh O’Neill’s Camogie

Condolences
Everyone at the club would like to offer their sympathies to the family of Denis Lehane who died recently. Denis was the brother of our club members Pauline Lynch and Christina McMenamin and brother-in-law of our vice-chair and senior ladies manager Peter Lynch and club member Paul McMenamin. He was also uncle to our current and former footballers Hannah and Caroline McMenamin and Declan and Kieran Lynch. May he rest in peace.
