Allianz Cumannna mBunscol South West Blitz
St Mary’s Portglenone completed the football double adding the Fee MacGorman 7 a side boy’s football trophy to the indoor 5 a side won earlier this year.
At the annual Allianz Ireland South West Cumann na mBunscol blitz in Creggan the football on display was outstanding and encouraging for Antrim Gaels. An excellent turnout of schools and supporters added to the championship atmosphere.
After a fiercely competitive morning of football the teams were split into a cup and a shield section.
In the shield a determined and skilful St Patrick’s Rasharkin overcame St Bernard’s Glengormley in an entertaining and enthralling game.
In the Cup final Creggan and St Mary’s Portglenone (a repeat of last year’s final) produced a game of outstanding skill, quality and endeavour. It was nip and tuck the whole way, with the Portglenone men prevailing at the end. Best wishes go to St Mary’s as they progress to represent the South West in the all county finals.
Well done once more to both teams.
In what was a memorable day for all and a big thanks must go to Teresa McCann from Creggan PS for organising and to Gaelfast coaches and staff for making sure everything ran so smoothly.
