Naomh Chonaill do the double at the 2009 Mick Shannon

Aodh Ruadh's annual Mick Shannon blitz took place last Saturday. The competition ran off well, largely escaping the showers. A strong Naomh Chonaill outfit beat Kilcar in 'A' final, while Glenties also took the honours in the 'B' final where they beat a gallant Bundoran side.

Many thanks are due to businesses who sponsored food and drink for the lunch time refreshments. Those include O'Donnell's Bakery who supplied buns and fancies, Paul Gillespie at C & C for the range of drinks, Pearse O'Neill and Mace supermarket. Thanks especially to the parents / guardians for their generous contributions which ensured that everyone at the tournament was well looked after. We can't forget the club members who officiated over the course of the day Val Murray, Shane Toolan, Sylvester Maguire, Barry Travers, Terence McShea, Simon Gillespie and Sean Perry.

Thanks also to Ronan Matthews who took some great shots of the proceedings.
