Junior Football

Argideen Rangers and Castlehaven locked horns last Saturday night under lights in Aughaville in the West-Cork JAFC quarter final. A closely fought first half saw the men from Timoleague leading 6 points to 5 at half time despite having the majority of possession and leaving a few scores behind them. Scores from Seán Walsh, Bill Fleming and Darragh Holland were the main highlights. The game was on a knife-edge and Argideen managed to fight back to earn an 8 point a piece draw with extra time to follow which also finished level after a huge Conor Lehane point. After over 80 minutes of football, a penalty shoot -out was required to find a winner. Despite some excellent penalties from both sides, Castlehaven won out on a score of 5-4. A full report appears elsewhere in this edition. Team; Michael O' Callaghan, Bill Fleming, John Sheehan, Joe Crowley, Charlie Twomey, Matthew Lawton, Finbarr Butler, Andrew Guinevan, Ger Crowley, Sean Maxwell, Sean Walsh, Darragh Holland, John Michael O' Callaghan, Jack Lawton and James Crowley. Subs used; Darragh O' Donovan, Cathal O' Donovan, Dara Walsh, Conor Lehane and Paudie Butler. As the adult season concludes, the players and management should be thanked for their dedication and commitment over the past year.

Sports Capital Funding

Many local sports clubs and community organisations were delighted last week with the announcement of very generous grant funding to help with enhancing facilities for the benefit of all. Argideen Rangers GAA club was granted €132,885 and Timoleague Community Association was awarded €47,755. Both organisations will no doubt use this very welcomed funding to further develop the already magnificent facilities that they provide for the people of the locality. The officers of both organisations are to be congratulated on their thorough  professional application submission for this funding.
