NEW HOODIES: Windgap Hurling and Camogie clubs have come together to order a new batch pf O’Neill’s Hoodies. The garments are specifically designed for both clubs with a Camogie Crest on the ladies and a Hurling Crest on the gents.

GALMOY WINDGAP: The combined side travelled to Danesfort on Sunday morning to play Carrickshock in the first round of the under twenty one championship. Playing into the roadside goal the side opened the scoring and after an even competitive and entertaining first half that saw the sides tied at 0-6 each the first major score fell to Carrickshock when they scored a goal three minutes after the Angelus bell sounded from the local Church. Short Jason Stanley in the US and Shane Walsh in France the local side were never far out of touch and with some fine individual performances were well in the game before a second goal for the Hugginstown side gave them a 2-11 to 0-12 victory. Thanks are extended to Danesfort for the use of the pitch at a central location to all three participating clubs and to Carrickshock for facilitating the change of the original venue. The result sees the club await their opponents in the first round of the shield competition. See Sports Pages for Gerry Drennans match report.
