Gers
win league game against Finnbarrs
The Geraldines
continued their preparations for their all important
championship semi final with a fine league win
over the Finnbarrs in Annagassan on Tuesday evening.
A final score of 3-16 to 0-5 was evidence of the
dominance of the Blackrock and Haggardstown men.
They excelled after the break when the score was
0-4 to 0-7 to the Gers who were without Edward
Smyth and Emmett Duffy. Top scorers for the Gers
were Barry Renaghan with 2-3 and Niall Carroll
with 0-6.
With the semi final only 10 days away the Gers
are in great scoring form and will need all this
firepower against and impressive St Mochtas outfit.

Gers
into Championship Semi Final
The Geraldines are into the Intermediate
Championship final after beating the Fechins 1-10
to 0-5 in Castlebellingham last Saturday night.
After a poor opening half the Gers lead 0-3 to
0-1 but took command in the second half scored
1-5 in a ten minute period to seal the Game. Joe
Joe Corcoran was top scored with 7 points, but
Gers will have to vastly improve in their performance
to beat the Mochtos who the meet in the Semi Final,
a date and venue have yet to be decided, but it
will likely be in two weeks time.

"AR AGHAIDH LEIS NA GEARALTIGH" - Centenary
Dance a huge Success
Last friday night over 450 friends of Geraldines gfc gathered
in the Banqueting hall at the fairways hotel to celebrate
the occasion of 100 years in existence.
Guests were treated to a champgaine reception on arrival
as they viewed the spectacular display of photographs of teams
and various parish occasions.
Once seated guests watched a 20 minute powerpoint presentation
on the big screen (very professionally put together by Gerry
Connor) featuring the history of the Club from small beginnings
to the present day.
Guest of honour was Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot
Aherne who congratulated the club for continually improving
their facilities at Pairc Sheamais Mhic Eochaidh.
Gerry Kelly from LMFM was the MC for the night, A very successful
raffle and an auction were held to raise funds for St Furseys
underage teams. Sean Geeny from Castlebellingham did a fine
job as auctioneer, the most sought after item was of course
the Tyrone jersey signed by the champions - those with Tyrone
connections fought it out till it was eventually knocked down
to a well known but now retired junior footballer and Blackrock
property developer!!
Well done to the organising committee of John Pepper, Gerry
Connor, Paul Reneghan, Colm Mackin, Scruff and Chairman Gerry
Reenan for putting on a fantastic night- everyone would agree
that the night they planned and executed was nothing short
of perfect - who needs professional event organisers when
you have the likes of these guys around!
Gerry Connnors presentation concluded with the war-cry once
coined by a former chairman now turned politician "ar
aghaidh leis na Gearaltigh" - here's to the next 100!
Thanks to all the sponsors, those who supported fundraising
efforts on the night and indeed all year

Junior Season Over after defeat to the
Martins
After a long year the Gers Junior team brought the curtain
down on their season losing in dreadful conditions in Hunterstown
to the Martains. It was been a good year for the new management
team headed by Aja McCrave, with many new young players coming
through the ranks. The likes of Joe Conlon, Rory Mackin and
Edward Smyth all gained vital experience at senior level that
will stand to them in the future.
Successful finish to season for Geraldines
The Gers made it four wins in the trot at the end of the season
with a fine win over a dogged Termonfeckin side at McGeough
Park on Sunday 31st October. A final score of 1-9 to 0-5 meant
an easy win for the Gers in the end, but it wasn't until a
Niall Carroll goal 10 minutes into the second half that made
the result secure. Gers had a slim hope of a playoff for a
Senior spot but the Oliver Plunketts won easy against the
Dreadnots to put an end to that. The Final league table looked
like this:

Defeat for Gers in Grogan Cup Semi Final
|
| Geraldines
0-8 St. Fechins 1-7
Fechins where worthy
winners of this play off for a place in the Final on
a beautiful Sunday morning in McGeough Park. Fechins
going in at half time were leading by just the one point
would have been disappointed after missing numerous
of chances.
Geraldines in the second half came out firing in all
cylinders and seem to taking control of the game, but
just when the going was good a bit of slack defending
which led to the Fechins scoring a very slack goal.
Geraldines goalkeeper really should off done a lot better,
with the loss Joe Corcoran up front (unavailable) and
Paddy McGuinness through injury half way through the
second half, it was plain sailing for the Fechins and
never look like loseing from then on in.
Geraldines will really need to pick themselves up and
get back to winning ways, with two games left in the
league and fighting to stay up in the top division of
intermediate a big effort is needed over the next few
weeks.Best for the Gers were Paudie Hoey, Shane Thorthon
and Roger Lynch.

| Gers
Seniors win away to the Dreadnots |
| On
Saturday evening last, a very determined geraldines
put in a great display to beat championship semi finalist
the Dreadnots in Clogherhead. They dominated the game
and still came out 2-10 to 2-7 winners after letting
in two soft goals. Joe Corcoran scored two penalty's
and Barry Renaghan scored 5 points from his new position
of full forward. John Neary had a great game at center
half and seems to be back to his best. Ed Smyth was
handed the task of marking Colin Kelly and did so very
well keeping him very quiet during the game. The new
midfield partnership of Paudi Lynch and John Sands worked
well in the middle, while Paddy McGuinness was rock
solid at full back.
