Mooney magnificent in goals



Mooney magnificent in goals

The clocks went forward on Saturday evening and goalkeeper Fiachra Mooney helped St. John’s to spring into summer with an eye catching performance in goals.  Although defeated there was much to savour from Fergal Henry’s charges.

St. John’s second team took on near neighbours Owenmore Gaels in Round 2 of the Division 3 league on Saturday last in Stenson Park.  The match was played in difficult conditions leaving top class football at a premium.  At half time Owenmore Gaels lead 0-5 to 0-1. St. John’s solitary point coming from the boot of Cathal Jordan.

Goalkeeper Fiachra Mooney giving a stand out man of the match performance at no.1 kept out the Gaels with some timely saves.   Conor Brennan & Conor Sweeney added second half points for the Saints.  

In the closing minutes Owenmore Gaels managed to weather the St. John’s storm to pull clear and win out by 1-13 to 0-4.

The St.John’s team on duty was Fiachra Mooney, Evan Tuffy, Jamie McGovern, Ronan Kelly, Conor Brennan, Andrew Kerr, Conor Sweeney, James Noonan, John Reilly, Keelan Kelly, Cathal Jordan, Cian Haugh, Eamon Dolan, John McNulty and Paul McLean.

St. John's Club Notes

Hanbury’s wonder saves keeps St. John’s in touch
U16 Fl Group 3 Round 3
In inclement weather conditions the Club’s U-16’s lost out narrowly to Drumcliffe/Rosses Point in Stenson Park today. In an excellent overall team performance it was goalkeeper Pauric Hanbury’s exploits starting between the sticks that really shone out with some outstanding saves denying the lively and dangerous Drumcliffe forwards several clear cut chances. It was Hanbury’s first competitive game in goals making it all the more remarkable.

Scorers for St.John’s: Adam Grace 1-0, Dylan Lynch McMorrow 1-0, Scott McGarry 0-3, Jake McMahon 0-2, Joe Spratt 0-1,



Final score: St.John’s 2-06 Drumcliffe/Rosses Point 0-15

Our Senior Division 3 team had a home fixture against near neighbour Owenmore Gaels but lost out by 1-13 to 0-4 on Saturday

Harrison’s Cruciate heartbreak.
St. John's will be forced to operate without the services of All Star defender, Charlie Harrison for the rest of the season after it was confirmed that the St John’s talisman had suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury. The injury occurred in County training two weeks ago and results of a subsequent scan have confirmed the player’s worst fears. It comes as a blow to Sligo under new manager Niall Carew as they had begun to get their act together after a slow start to the season, thanks to the return of some key players who had endured injury lay-offs.

Harrison actually made his inter-county debut with London in 2004 but was soon a regular for Sligo, starring as the Yeatsmen won the Connacht championship in 2007 – the county’s first in 32 years. In 2010, he became just the fourth Sligo player to win an All Star, when he was rewarded for a series of outstanding performances at corner-back. The news comes as a cruel blow to St. John’s have also had to do without the services of Mickey O’Hehir who is out for the rest of the season following surgery on his injured shoulder in January.
Everybody in the St. John’s club would like to wish Charlie and Mickey a full and speedy recovery.
