Annual Paddy Mooney Memorial Darts Tournament

The Annual Paddy Mooney memorial darts tournament took place in the club last Sunday. With all proceeds going to the Southern Area Hospice the tournament attracted an impressive 54 throwers.

 

There were some great matches throughout the day in particular the game between Nobby Mooney and Liam Moan which saw Liam eventually triumph over his brother-in-law. However, the semi-finals of the tournament saw Austin Thompson take on Micheál McKeown whilst Kieran O’Neill was paired against defending champion Martin Carville.

Both semi-finals proved to be entertaining affairs which saw Micheál McKeown and Martin Carville qualify for the final. The final itself proved to be the game of the day with McKeown racing into a 4 – 1 lead but Carville fought back to take the title and retain his trophy on a score-line of 5 – 4.

Cairde Sheaín Uí Néill

The club is still promoting the Cairde Sheáin Uí Néill initiative. At the moment the club fields approximately twenty teams between boy’s football, girl’s football and camogie, with a youth membership of over 200 young people. The club has ambitious plans in place for an additional playing facility but, like everything else, it will cost a lot of

money and this is where Cairde Sheáin Uí Néill comes in. Cairde members agree to contribute £10.00 per month, for a set period or open-ended, to help us make Shane O’Neills a better place for our young people.

 

For further details or if anyone who is interested in becoming a Cairde member please contact Brendy Osborne on 07543806274. Anyone who has received a standing order form and has not yet filled it in is also asked to contact Brendy Osborne.
