Eire Óg 2.20 Kildavin/Clonegal 0.08
Kildavin/Clonegal had another disappointing outing in the senior league on Sunday evening May 15th losing out to Eire Óg at Pairc Uí Bhroin. The team continues to be plagued by a large number of absences. There is however plenty of promising young talent. The Club is hopeful that as preparations for the championship begin its panelled will be swelled by some of the absence players.

The club played its second round match in the Division 1 league on Sunday April 3rd in the Spellman Park Kildavin.

Disappointing Start to Football League
Tinryland 2.14 Kildavin/Clonegal 0-04
The first match of the Division 1 league was dissapointing for the local lads. However the team saw the arrival of a number of new and talented players who are now establishing themselves as regulars on the pitch. The players and management are not discouraged and feel that the emerging talent will ultimately assert itself.
The next match is next Sunday evening at 6.30pm on home turf in the Spellman Park against Kildavin.
