The Championships resume this weekend after a lengthy break owing Sligo’s extended run in this year’s All-Ireland senior football championships.
The
minors take to the field first on Thursday evening where they face the
Tubbercurry/Cloonacool selection. The Minor B league champions lost out in the
previous round to St. Mary’s. Fergal Henry and his charges will be eager to
return to winning ways and keep their hopes of a league and cup double alive.
On
Friday the club’s young starts will be in action against St. Patrick’s in
Stenson Park in the U-14B championship.
Then
on Saturday evening the club’s seniors take on Tourlestrane in the sea side
club of Enniscrone. Tourlestrane have two wins out of two while St. John’ s are
badly seeking a moral boosting win having lost to Tubbercurry & St. Mary’s
respectively in the opening two rounds. The recent good win over
Coolera/Strandhill and a determined
showing in the narrow loss to Saturday’s opponents in the league has focussed
the mind on the bigger picture. The welcome return of county star Charlie
Harrison to club action and the momentum built up in the league will hopefully
breath new life to the St. John’s team that have yet to sparkle. A win on Saturday will put the team right back
in contention for a major push in the weeks ahead.
Finally
on Sunday evening the Intermediate team have the short journey to Markievicz
Park to play Enniscrone. The Intermediates too are seeking their first win in
the championship having suffered losses to Castleconnor & Cloonacool in the
opening rounds. The Intermediate management of Niall Gordon & Ray Henry
will be hoping for an improved performance and barring injury’s, holidays
should have a full squad to choose from.
With plenty of action this weekend involving club teams your support will be appreciated. Come out and support the sky blues. Nothing beats being there.................
