Finbarr
O’Neill Memorial Shield & Coffee Morning
The annual Finbarr O’ Neill Memorial Shield was played for
on Sat 8th September as part of the Sam Maguire Festival Weekend. Sam Maguires
U12s football team took on a strong St Colums outfit in testing
conditions. The game was very competitive and at the short whistle the home
side just shaded it on the score board.
St Colums began to dominate in the second half and were
ahead with a few minutes on the clock. Sam Maguires however never gave up and
kept playing their fast flowing football and snatched victory with 2 late
goals. After this enthralling encounter, players and supporters headed for the
pavilion for much needed refreshments provided as part of the annual
fundraising coffee morning. Many thanks to all who contributed to making this
very important fundraising event a great success again this year.
The players from both teams were presented with medals by
Agnes O Neill and winning captain Patrick Collins Sam Maguires was presented
with the Finbarr O' Neill Memorial Shield. A great mornings football in honour
of a great Doheny/Sam Maguire club man Finbarr O' Neill (RIP).
