Edendork St Malachy’s GAC notes 17th November 2008
The seniors pulled off another great win on Saturday in the League over Moortown. This result now leaves us in a relegation play off against Tattyreagh on Saturday at 2:00pm in Killeeshil. The team approached the game against Moortown knowing how imperative it was to win, defeat would have meant relegation. However the team had been playing with some confidence after winning two in a row in the previous weeks and despite some early nerves and numerous wides, the team held their composure and eventually ran out winners by 0-13 to 0-6. Scorers on the day were Karl McGuckin 0-03, David Toner 0-03, Joe McGuckin 0-02, Niall Morgan 0-02, Peter Mallon, Justin Corr and Sean O’Connor 0-01 each. This play off will decide if we stay in Division 2 football next year or drop down into Junior football. This is the most important game in the recent history of senior football in the club. Support on the day would be very much appreciated.
The winners of the October Members Monthly Draw are as follows, congratulations to all, £500 Shane Corr, £200 Phyllis McGuigan, £100 each Austin Currie, Peter O’Connor and Damien Hughes.
