Rathmore / Gneeveguilla Community Games The second weekend of the National Finals was held in Athlone on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th August. From Rathmore / Gneeveguilla we had Sinead Warren representing Kerry in the girls U14 Shott Putt and the U11 Mixed Basketball Team representing Munster. Sinead performed brilliantly, throwing10.95m, placing her in second place, only narrowly missing out to 1st place. However a fantastic achievement for Sinead and Gneeveguilla Athletic Club. We extend our congratulations to Sinead and family on receiving yet again another National award. Thank you to Sheila and Gneeveguilla Athletic Club for the coaching they have given Sinead in preparing for this competition. On Saturday afternoon the U11 mixed basketball team met with the Connaught Champions in the semi-final game. A very tough opposition for them, however the girls and boys had the will to win, displaying some fine skills in attack and defence they managed to take their lead and maintain it when the final whistle blew. On Sunday afternoon they advanced to the final where they met with Monaghan. Again with a great desire to win and gold medals along with the title of 'National Finalists' at stake, the boys and girls dug in and gave it their all. Rathmore / Gneeveguilla proved the better team on the day and were thus worthy winners of the competition. A fantastic achievement for the children and coaches who have given so much of their time to preparing the children for this competition. Team members were as follows: Kornelia Cybul, Alice O' Leary, Megan McCarthy, Aisling Brosnan, Roisin McAuliffe, Paudie O'Leary, Paudie Murphy, Damien Cronin, Mark O' Leary and Michael Twomey. Team coaches were John Hurley, James Brosnan, Stephen Lehane and Mags Fitzgerald. We wish to acknowledge the coaches for their magnificent dedication to the game, to the team and to Community Games. Thanks to the parents and to all who travelled to Athlone to support the players and coaches. Due recognition to Rathmore and Gneeveguilla Basketball Clubs and coaches for tutoring the children in basketball skills from a young age. Sinead and the basketball squad and coaches arrived home on Sunday night to jubilant celebrations with bonfires, supporters and well-wishers lining the roads and villages. Thanks to each and everyone who came out and supported the victorious children. Thanks to Gneeveguilla GAA Club for the use of the hall, appreciation to Tom Hogan and Tim Murphy for preparing the hall, to Noreen Goulding for the use of the sound system and Marianne Cronin for the catering, to the ladies who helped out with the catering, to Fr. O' Donnell and representatives from the various Clubs who expressed words of congratulations to our worthy National Finalists.
