Seniors

Our senior squad continue their preparations for the upcoming season with three tough training sessions per week – Tuesday evening, Friday evening and Sunday morning.

 

Minors

Our minor team are also preparing for the upcoming season and have stepped their training regime to two nights per week – Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6.00pm – 7.30pm at the field.

 

Under 16's

The U16 team had their first game of the year on Sunday afternoon with a challenge game at home to Lurgan side Clann Eireann. The game itself proved to be a very entertaining affair with both sides playing some great football and it ended all square: 3 – 6 to 3 – 6.

The first half was low scoring with Clann Eireann going into the break one point to the good, 0 – 3 to 0 – 2 with both the Shanes points coming from the boot of Oisín Murphy.Shortly after the interval the Shanes were back on level terms when Aaron Sloan fired over a great point. It was at this stage that Clann Eireann took a firm grip of the game and scored a total of three goals and three points without reply and the looked to be well and truly over. However, to their credit, the Shanes dug deep and clawed themselves back into the game with a tremendous show of spirit and commitment. Harry Dobbin began the Shanes comeback with a well taken goal before Lee Tumilty found the back of the net minutes later with another fine goal to reduce the deficit to six points. The Shanes had the bit between their teeth now and a further three unanswered points (Darren McKeown 2, Aidan Nutley 1) left just a goal between the teams with time rapidly running out. The home side mounted a final attack and, following a scramble in the Clann Eireann goal-mouth, young Nutley was on hand to slot the ball to the back of the net to earn the Shanes awell deserved draw.

Great credit must go all the Shanes players on Sunday for their never saw die attitude to get a good result from the game, something which will undoubtedly please their manager Kieran Malone and team mentors Brendy Mackin, Paddy Doran and Gavin Brannigan. Training for our U16s continues on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the field from 6.00pm – 7.30pm.

 

Under 14's

Next Saturday, 6th March, sees our U14s travel to Armagh to take on Pearse Ógs in the first round of the Féile with the game having a 3.00pm throw-in. The U14s have a training session on Thursday evening at 7.00pm at the club and all U14 players are asked to make sure they attend this session.

 

Under 12's, 10's, 8's & 6's

There will be no training this week for our U12s, U10s, U8s or U6s. However, there will be a registration night for all these age groups on Tuesday night in the club between 7.00 – 8.00pm. On the night parents will be asked to register their child, provide medical details and an emergency contact number. The cost per child is £5.00 which will go towards the day to day running of all our underage teams. All our underage players need to be registered for insurance purposes so we would encourage everyone to attend the registration night.

 

Under 16 Girl's

Our U16 girls were in action on Sunday with a challenge at home to a very good Newry Bosco side. Despite it being their first game of the season both sides played some great football and taking some great scores along the way. Training for all our girl footballers continues every Sunday from 11.00am – 12.30pm in St. Paul’s training field.
