The Kilkerrin side got off to a great start and were 1-0 up with just six minutes played. Enda Keane got on the end of a corner kick and he finished with a neat volley. With 20 minutes played a fine solo goal from Darragh Nolan gave his side a two-goal advantage.

The Norio’s Premier Division is finely balanced with just three points separating St John’s Athletic, Boyle Celtic and Castlerea Celtic. All three have just four games left to play and that’s not forgetting Moore United who are four points behind the leaders but have a game less played.

It’s going to be a thrilling finish to the Premier Division with all the top teams playing teams from the top section before the end.

The big game of last weekend was the clash between Moore United and St John’s Athletic at Moore on Friday night. St John’s won 3-1.

Castlerea Celtic travelled to Newbridge where they played a Shiven Rovers side who are just above the relegation area. It turned out to be a close contest, Castlerea winning 3-2.

Boyle Celtic had a convincing 5-2 win over Ballaghaderreen at Ballaghaderreen. Skyvalley Rovers had a valuable 3-0 win over Cloonfad United at Cloonfad. They are now competing with Ballinasloe Town and Moylough for the Division 1 title.

Ballinasloe Town were held to a 1-1 draw away to the Glenamaddy side Glen Celtic.

Roscommon United had an impressive 6-2 win over Moore United’s second side at Falty Park, Moore on Sunday.

In the preliminary round of the DK Shield St Cuan’s/Ahascragh United edged out Rahara Rovers in a game played at Ahascragh. This game went all the way to penalties after finishing 2-2 at the end of extra-time with St Cuan’s/Ahascragh winning the shootout 4-3.

Women’s Shield

In the Connacht FA Women’s Shield Dunmore Town beat Shiven Rovers 1-0. Siobhan O’Grady scored what turned out to be the winner with just six minutes played.

Kilkerrin United were unlucky to be beaten on penalties away to the Mayo side Manulla. The game ended 1-1 with Samantha Fahy scoring for Kilkerrin but they were beaten 4-3 in the penalty shootout.

In darts, the annual INDO Inter-counties was held in the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney, County Kerry last weekend. Roscommon had both ladies and men’s teams competing. What a weekend it turned out to be!

Our men faced a daunting task in their group, which included Kerry, Meath, Limerick and Longford. A narrow 8-5 loss to Kerry (wins for Sean Fleming (twice), David Concannon, Mick Egan and Kieran Mullen) was followed by a 9-4 defeat to Limerick (Mick Egan, Sean Fleming, Aaron Blaides and Padraig Kearney with the Roscommon wins).

A victory was needed to keep hopes of a last 16 berth alive, and an 8-5 win over neighbours Longford was just what was required.

Wins for David Concannon, Kieran McCormack, Thomas Concannon, Darren O’Brien, Mick Egan, Padraig Kearney, Kieran Mullen and Aaron Shannon ensured Roscommon stayed in contention.

Roscommon needed to beat Meath in their final game, but despite wins for Darren O’Brien, David Concannon, Aaron Blaides, Mick Egan, Kieran McCormack and Padraig Kearney, a 7-6 loss meant that Roscommon would progress to the shield event on Sunday.

Roscommon received a bye to the quarter-finals, where they would yet again meet Longford. A 7-5 win for Roscommon was built on wins for David Concannon, Darren O’Brien, Thomas Concannon, Sean Fleming and Mick Egan before Aaron Shannon hit the winning double to secure a semi-final place.

A tough Westmeath team awaited. Despite losing the first two games, Roscommon regained composure to take a 3-2 lead thanks to wins for Padraig Kearney, Sean Fleming and Thomas Concannon. Games were exchanged back and forth, as Kieran McCormack, Aaron Blaides and Darren O’Brien all played their part with wins. However, with the score tied at 6-6, it would go to a final game. Sean Finan showed great determination in overcoming a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1 to send Roscommon to the Shield Final.

In that final, Roscommon’s opponents were an experienced Carlow outfit. Roscommon were slow out of the traps, Carlow taking a 2-0 lead. Roscommon rallied, wins for David Concannon, Thomas Concannon, Sean Fleming and Mick Egan putting them 4-2 ahead. Games were exchanged on two occasions from here, with wins for Padraig Kearney and Aaron Blaides putting Roscommon 6-5 in front.

Next up was Darren O’Brien who held his nerve superbly in his first year playing county darts with Roscommon, recording a 2-1 win and sealing a national title for Roscommon on a 7-5 scoreline.

Congratulations to all players who put in the work both this year and over previous years. Special thanks to our management team of Tommy Beirne and Brendan Mullarkey for all their preparations over recent months.

Meanwhile, it was a momentous occasion for our ladies team, who after forming last year competed in the event for the first time.

Laois, Donegal and Galway awaited in an extremely tough group. A 6-1 loss to a hugely experienced Galway team (Barbara Victory with the Roscommon win), was followed by 5-2 defeats to Donegal (wins for Katie Walshe and Elaine Hannon) and Laois (wins for Barbara Victory and Jane King).

Valuable game time and experience on the main stage was gained throughout the group stages, while the ladies progressed to the Shield event on Sunday.

A bye to the quarters paired them against a strong Louth outfit. Despite going 2-0 down, the ladies showed great resolve, as wins for Katie Walshe, Elaine Hannon and Barbara Victory put them 3-2 ahead and only one point from victory. However, it was not to be as Louth edged it on a 4-3 scoreline.

Well done to out ladies team on a highly successful year. Thanks to the players and manager Martin King for all their efforts throughout the year.

Finally, as always, we extend special thanks to Hannon’s Hotel for their continued sponsorship of darts in Roscommon.

It was a momentous week for club member Olivia Costello who reached the final of the Women’s Spanish Amateur Championship last Sunday and was only beaten on the very last green (see separate story in this issue).

Simon Walker competed in the R&A Student Tour Series in Portugal (representing Maynooth University) last weekend where he finished in the top 15.

LADIES: Winner of the 9-hole re-entry competition (18th to 24th February) was Sinead Healy with a super score of 25 points.

This week the 9-hole re-entry continues, playing holes 1 to 9. Spring League draw has been done with four teams of eight and three reserves. March is the month for foursomes with all team captains getting their pairings ready for an exciting month ahead.

SENIORS: Latest results: Winner: Peter Geraghty (30 pts); 2^nd: Jackie Kilroy (26 pts); 3rd: Michael Dolan (26 pts). 26 played and Peter Geraghty had the only deuce of the day.

The 17-hole re-entry event was sponsored by John Corcoran Menswear. The results were: 1^st: Tony McManus (39 pts); Category 1: Brian Cleary (37 pts); Category 2: Tom Og Reddington (37 pts); Category 3: Ger Broderick (38 pts); Gross: Cian Duggan (34 pts).

The post Local GAA fixtures – 7/3/25 appeared first on Roscommon People.

Among the talented squad set to take the field against Scoil Mhuire agus Íde, Limerick, are 14 outstanding representatives from the Michael Glaveys GAA Club, who have played a crucial role in the team’s journey to this stage.

The road to the semi-final was paved with determination and resilience, highlighted by a thrilling Connacht Final victory over Glenamaddy Community School.

The weather provided the perfect backdrop for an exhilarating match, as the BCS Junior girls started strong with three early goals, establishing a commanding lead going into the second half. Glenamaddy mounted an impressive comeback, equalising with ten minutes to go, but the BCS girls held firm and secured a last-minute goal to clinch the win. The final score was BCS 6-7, GCS 5-6. This win secured their place in the All-Ireland semi-final. Congratulations to their management team – Mr Folan, Ms McGuire, and to all the players.

The Michael Glaveys contingent includes: Emma McGuire, Ruby Coggins, Caoilagh Kelly, Vivienne Gannon, Erin Hibbet, Robyn Keane, Aoife Burke, Leanne Burke, Rachel Lawless, Rachel Fleming, Emily Gormley, Sarah Ryan, Meabh Scally, and Chloe Hurley.

Guiding the team from the sidelines is coach Caroline McGuire Falls, another proud Michael Glaveys representative, whose expertise and leadership have been pivotal in preparing the players for the challenges ahead.

This semi-final appearance represents a fantastic achievement for Ballyhaunis Community School and an incredible moment for the young stars of Michael Glaveys. Their presence on the squad is a testament to the strength and depth of underage football in the club, highlighting the dedication of players, coaches, and mentors who have helped develop these talented athletes.

Local support will be vital as Ballyhaunis Community School aims to book their place in the All-Ireland final. With a strong connection to their club and community, these players will no doubt give it their all as they strive for victory. Best of luck to all involved!

The post Glaveys stars shine as Ballyhaunis eye final appeared first on Roscommon People.

For four days every March, the normally silent hills of the Cotswolds will ring out with a cacophony of cheers, song, and some (but very few) tears. The festival opens with seventeen entries, only two British runners, in Supreme Novice Hurdle, honouring the late Micheal O’Sullivan. Willie Mullins trains odds-on favourite Kopek Des Bordes at 8/11 followed by Gordon Elliott’s Romeo Coolio, his stablemate Salvator Mundi and Dan Skelton’s The New Lion.

I fancy Romeo Coolio to give Jack Kennedy a winning start to the festival in a race with a good record for Irish runners.

In the Arkle 9 go to post and Marjborough at 8/13 looks a good thing to get JP McManus off the ground in what should be a double for Mullins.

There are 49 still in the Ultima Handicap chase where they go 8/1 the field and this is best left alone. Nicky Richards’ Famous Bridge, in the Trevor Hemmings green and white quarters will have an e/w chance.

There are fifteen in the Mares Hurdle where Mullins has the market leaders in Jade De Grugy and Lossiemouth. Nicky Henderson’s Joyeuse has been supplemented at a cost of £4,800 and JP McManus’s horse must be considered.

I opt for Lossiemouth (who is also in the Champion Hurdle) if she runs here. If not, Joyeuse. Home side is best represented by Jeremy Scott’s Golden Ace and Joyeuse.

In the big race of the day, odds-on Constitution Hill at 4/6 heads the 8-runner field with the rest headed by 3 Irish trained horses. Gordon Elliott’s Brighterdaysahead, who is missing the Mares to run here, looks the main danger at 2/1 with the WP Mullins’ trained pair Lossimouth who is still in the Mares, 11/2, and State Man, 10/1 also to be considered.

In a race with four of the best horses around taking each other on, Constitution Hill will have to be at his very best to repel the Irish challenge the best of which looks  to be Elliott’s charge, who could give Jack Kennedy a dream return to the saddle.

The Juvenile Handicap Hurdle has still 47 left in, 22 Irish trained, and is another to stick a pin in the paper. I like the look of Joseph O’Brien’s Beyond Your Dreams if he runs.

There are 29 in the National Hunt Challenge Cup for amateur riders, 11 Irish. Cromwell runs Now Is The Hour, the favourite. An Irish trained outsider with a chance is 14/1 shot Sa Majeste trained by Mullins for McManus.

My e/w Yankee selection for opening Tuesday is Romeo Coolio, Famous Bridge, Golden Ace, and Sa Majeste.

On Wednesday, there are 52 in the opening Turners Novices Hurdle. Dan Skelton’s The New Lion is 15/8 favourite, and the only home trained horse in the betting under 14/1 with four Irish trained horses behind him, three trained by Mullins and one by Elliott. The New Lion to break Ireland’s stranglehold on this race.

Of the 23 entries in the Brown Advisory Novice Chase thirteen are trained in Ireland with seven of the leading the betting headed by WP Mullins’ Ballyburn at 13/8, with stablemate Dancing City 7/2, 8/1 bar. Paul Townend’s selection to win.

This race is followed by the Coral Cup, a handicap hurdle, with 96 entries, 46 trained in Ireland, and with only 26 runners, this is normally best left alone.

Dan Skelton’s Be Aware heads the betting at 7/1 from Clouston’s Kopeck De Mee at 8/1 12/1 bar two. Kopeck to win for owner JP McManus but an Irish outsider that catches the eye if he gets a run is Lorna Fowler’s Colonel Mustard who never runs a bad race. The Glenfarclas Cross Country handicap Chase has 30 entries, 15 Irish trained but there are only 16 runners allowed. Gordon Elliott runs Galvin but the Gavin Cromwell’s Stumptown having won a handicap over the course in November is seeking a four-timer and should win here.

In this year’s Queen Mother Champion Chase with 19 entered, 12 from Ireland, Nicky Henderson’s Jonbon is one of JP McManus’s hot pots at 5/6 with 5/1 bar. He will get plenty to do from Barry Connell’s Marine Nationale and Mullins’ Energumene. Joseph O’Brien’s Banbridge, on his King George run, has a great e/w chance at 20/1. The Grand Annual Chase has 46 entries, limited to 20 runners, and is wide open, and the advice is to leave this race alone. Evan Williams’ outsider Dr T J Eckleberg who is a big price and rarely runs a bad race, is a live chance if he gets in.

There are 33 entered in the Wetherby’s Champion Bumper, 18 of them Irish trained with WP Mullins having 8 and Elliott 5. With 7 of the Irish horses unbeaten there should be an Irish winner of this race again, but maybe not either of the big 2.

Gavin Cromwell, a very successful raider to Britain this season, has Champagne Jury, a winner at Nass in January and had a warm-up race over hurdles where he finished second to the odds-on Honesty Policy at Leopardstown earlier this month. Keep an eye out for top Irish amateurs riding on the card for British trainers; they would have been booked well in advance.

My e/w Yankee selection for Wednesday is Kopeck De Mee, Jonbon, Dr TJ Eckleburg and Champagne Jury.

Here’s wishing all you punters a successful week. There will be a detailed look at next Thursday and Friday’s racing in next week’s edition when all fields will be finalised before assessment unlike this week.

Upcoming meetings

Racing takes place this afternoon (Thursday) at Thurles, with first race at 2.30 pm. Tomorrow evening there is flat racing on the all-weather at Dundalk, away at 4.55 pm.

On Saturday, Irish racing takes place at Gowran Park featuring the Shamrock Handicap Chase and Tetratema Cup Hunters Chase for point-to-pointers, with first race at 2.10 pm. On Sunday, racing will be at the punters graveyard Naas where the card is sponsored by Bar One Racing featuring the Leinster National, a handicap worth €100,000, off at 2.10 pm.

Racing review

At Navan last Saturday, the Grade 3 Flyingbolt Novice Chase was won by the Willie Mullins trained and Paul Townend ridden Champ Kiely at odds-on. No such luck for the connections with El Fabiolo, 4/11, who was beaten by 50/1 shot Senecia in the Grade 2 Webster Cup Chase.

Racing news

Watch out for the Gilligan family from Craughwell in Co Galway, as four members of the family could be in action at the festival.

Trainer Paul sends over three horses and sons Danny, Jack, and Ollie could have rides in Cheltenham.

Danny is one of Gordon Elliott’s jockeys, Jack will ride his father’s horses, and Ollie, a young amateur claimer, could ride his father’s horse Tradonthebay in the bumper. A fourth brother Liam trains point-to-pointers at home in Craughwell. Paul trained a festival winner with his first festival runner in 2017 when Bertie’s Dream won the Albert Bartlett, ridden by Andrew Lynch.

Gabriel Leenders’ French trained Gold Tweet will not run at the Cheltenham Festival next week. The 8-Y-O was a surprise winner of the Cleeve Hurdle on Festival Trials day in 2023 and finished 8th in the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Festival. He was in three races, the Ultima, the Coral Cup and the Stayers’ Hurdle, for a second time.

The post All eyes on Cheltenham next week appeared first on Roscommon People.

With the Creggs J1A team getting a welcome break from competitive action, some members of that squad were eligible to play in this vital game, and they contributed handsomely to the win.

Callum Fahey put the visitors ahead with a 9th minute penalty, and he extended the Creggs lead to 6-0 when Monivea were penalised on the half hour mark, after a period of sustained pressure inside their 22.

Creggs were awarded a penalty try in the 35th minute when Mattie Curley was held up illegally near the try-line before Monivea broke downfield and almost scored on the resumption of play as Creggs momentarily switched off. However, staunch defence kept Creggs 13-0 ahead at half-time.

Monivea scored a try in the opening minute of the second half when their full-back Kevin Maher found a gap up the right touchline and touched down in the corner as Creggs were once again caught off guard. Boosted by this score, Monivea struck again shortly afterwards with a well-worked try following a clever chip over the Creggs defence.

A successful close-range penalty by Callum Fahey left Creggs ahead by 16-10 before a great break by Mark Kilcommons led to another opportunity for the sure-footed Fahey to nudge his side nine points ahead.

With tension mounting and errors increasing, Creggs conceded a penalty with a high tackle to leave just six points between the sides heading into the closing stages. Monivea threw everything into attack but Creggs held firm to deny them any potential late match-winning chances.

The entire Creggs squad performed very well on the day, with the bench making a significant contribution. A similar display will be needed against Ballyhaunis on Sunday next in Creggs in the second of the play-off games.

SENIOR WOMEN’S TEAM: The Creggs senior women’s team’s season came to an end on Sunday when they lost away to Sligo RFC in the semi-final of the Women’s Senior Cup.

After a very strong first 20 minutes when the scrum was on top and Creggs were held up just short on a couple of occasions, a breakaway score from Sligo seemed to knock the stuffing out of the Creggs ladies. Hard as they tried they never got their rhythm in attack and Sligo scored again just before half-time to take a 10-0 lead into the break.

Playing with the wind in the second half, Creggs had some cause for optimism but again mistakes proved costly and halted any momentum.

Sligo got in for a score to lead 15-0 with over 25 minutes remaining. Creggs continued to try their best but even positional changes just couldn’t provide sufficient spark on the day and Sligo ran in two further tries to win 25-0.

After an excellent league campaign, the Creggs ladies can look back favourably on the season after coming on so much from when they started last year.

U-16 BOYS: Creggs U-16 boys travelled to Athlone to take on Buccaneers in a rearranged round 1 game of the U-16 Cup last Saturday.

A poor start saw Creggs under pressure and a  Buccaneers centre evaded three tackles to score in the corner. Creggs regained composure and after a couple of decent moves they gained a foothold in the opposition 22. Unfortunately, an intercept allowed the home side to get upfield and good hands from their backs saw their winger score under the posts. The conversion left the score at Creggs 0 Buccs 12 after just 12 minutes.

Creggs got more territory and better possession up until half-time but couldn’t break through a quick and aggressive Buccaneers defence leaving the half-time score at 12-0.

The second half saw the Creggs players express themselves better but a series of strong carries close to the Creggs line saw the hosts extend their lead by another seven.

Creggs continued to play good rugby and were rewarded after a good maul led to Conor Flynn crossing the line. Harry Waldron added the conversion to narrow the gap. The game was still alive but Buccs ensured they would see out the win with another try scored after good play from their strong pack. Final score: Creggs 7 Buccaneers 24.

Creggs RFC would like to wish Cathal Mulry well after he picked up a knee injury just before half-time. Thanks to those from both clubs who helped Cathal at the time. Next week they play Castlebar in round 2.

Panel: Cathal Mulry, Matthew Donnelly, Conor Hanson, Oisin Connolly, Andrej Anic, Kian Hughes, Joseph McSharry, Robbie McArdle, Sean Richardson, Harry Waldron, Sam Walsh, Domink Mrozek, Conor Flynn, Luke Hayes, Brian O’Connor, Callum Clarke, AJ Tully, Davy Fetherstone, Patrick Conneally, Patrick Zwierkcyz, Patrick Murray, Jamie Finneran.

U-13 BOYS: Creggs U-13 boys had their second game in the group stages of the cup last Saturday when they hosted Corinthians.

The visitors couldn’t have asked for a better start when they crossed over the line for an easily converted try to lead 7-0 after three minutes. The Creggs lads didn’t let that start faze them and they got right back into the game. It was tighthead prop Rian Davis who carried strongly to cross for five points. Unfortunately Rian had to go off with a bruised shoulder not long after.

Rian’s replacement Kyle Maloney was awarded a penalty try when he was illegally stopped short of the line. The score at half-time was 14-12 to Corinthians. As much as Creggs tried in the second half, they couldn’t add to their tally. A bigger, more athletic Corinthians squad added three tries to win the game 35-12.

Despite the scoreline the Creggs boys never gave up and showed great character and discipline. Next game up is away to Dunmore this weekend (7/8^th of March).

BLITZ: Creggs hosted the 2025 U-11s Connacht Festival last Saturday. There were 16 teams from 13 clubs across the province with about 250 children partaking in the event.

The kids really enjoyed meeting our special guest, Connacht player Santiago Cordero who gave some words of wisdom and indeed Connacht head coach Pete Wilkins who was also in attendance.

LOTTO: There was no winner of last week’s Creggs Lotto which now stands at €4,500. The lucky dip winner was Anita Fannon. Please support Creggs Lotto.  This week’s bonus prize are tickets to the Connacht v Cardiff URC game with the following week’s lucky dip prize being tickets for the sold out Connacht v Munster game in MacHale Park.

Today, in Seanad Éireann, Senators engaged in a debate on the Statute Law Revision Bill 2024, a significant piece of legislation aimed at updating and modernising Ireland’s legal framework. The bill seeks to revoke outdated statutes and streamline the legislative process, ensuring that Ireland’s laws are relevant and reflective of current societal needs.

The process of statute law revision is vital for maintaining a cohesive legal system. As laws evolve, it becomes necessary to identify and eliminate provisions that are no longer applicable, thereby enhancing clarity and accessibility within the legal framework. The 2024 revision bill highlights the commitment of the Irish government to refine and improve legislative instruments for the benefit of all citizens.

A key aspect of the discussion today was the mention of the Genealogy Office of the National Archives of Ireland. As genealogy plays an essential role in preserving cultural heritage and identity, the inclusion of provisions related to the genealogy office underscores the importance of accessible historical records for individuals seeking to trace their familial roots. The legislation aims to ensure that such genealogical resources are effectively managed.

During the deliberations, Senator John Boyhan emphasised the complexity of the bill, stating, “I think we need to get this right.” His remarks resonated with many Senators, who echoed the sentiment that careful consideration is critical to the modernisation of the statute law. Senator Boyhan suggested that the Seanad take the necessary time to reach a thorough and informed conclusion on the revision process, ensuring that all aspects of the bill, including those relating to genealogy, are thoroughly considered.

It is clear that the Statute Law Revision Bill 2024 represents a crucial step in refining Ireland’s legal landscape. The attention given to genealogy and historical records highlights the importance of understanding and preserving the past as part of shaping a more responsive legal framework for the future.
