Congratulations to Letterkenny Gaels player Peter O'Donnell who came joint 2nd in the Donegal Senior Puc Fada competition which took place on Monday on Kirkneedy Mountain. We hosted our annual 5k Road Race, Fun Run & Walk on Tuesday evening last. It was great to see so many young Gaels tackling the course.

Two teams from the Letterkenny Gaels U10s squad took part the annual Joe Larry Memorial tournament held in Ardara on Monday 5th June.

These young Gaels battled well and the BLUE team progressed to the Plate Final but were unfortunate to loose out to Pettigo in the Final. The Letterkenny Gaels RED team went out in the semifinal of the plate to a very stong Glenfin team who went on to win the Plate competition. The teams travelled back to Arena 7 for some hard earned refreshments and food. Thanks to all the coaches and parents who travelled to Ardara to support our young footballers and a special thank you to Enda and Claire Nicholls for the kind hospitality in Arena 7. Thanks to John McConnell and the Ardara CLG for a very well run tournament and the kind hospitality show to Letterkenny Gaels.

Both teams had 4 matches against teams from Carndonagh, Burt, St Eunans, Muff & Na Magha. The pinks were undefeated whilst the purples showed great progress. With most other clubs having 8 players, it was wonderful to see 22 Gaels wearing their maroon jerseys with pride. Lots of singing on the way home & a few treats from the shop!

The U-14 Camogs travelled to Belfast to take part in the Jim Nelson tournament on Saturday past. In the group matches they started against St. John's and won 2.1-0.0. The second match versus Bredagh went the same way with Gaels on top 4.1-0.1. The final group match against Loch Mor Dal gCais would decide who would top the group and in a great battle, Gaels came out victorious 2.1-2.0. Due to late withdrawal in the opposite group, Gaels had a bye in the quarter final and went through to play defending champions Ballycastle in the semi. The girls were outplayed by an impressive Ballycastle team that went on to win the final. This was an excellent day of camogie thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Thanks to St Paul's, Orla, Ciara, Clare & Willie. It was very heartening to get such positive comments about our girls and how they played. As always it was an all round team display, all girls getting match time & showing great improvement. The girls are already looking forward to next year.
