29/03/09: Douglas 1-10 Bishopstown 3-03 (Junior “B” Football League)


This year a five man management dream team is masterminding the Douglas Junior "B" football teams challenge for trophies and this comprises of Henry Grimes, Brendan Larkin, Fred Humphries, John Grimes and John O'Keeffe. Last Sunday morning they travelled to Bishopstown and guided the Douglas team to another satisfying victory. Injury robbed them of star centre half back Roy Corbett and so to compensate for this loss the Douglas selectors were forced to reshuffle their defence.

Congratulations to Shane McCarthy and Mark Collins for winning Munster under 21 medals with Cork last weekend.

Last Saturday morning (04/04/09) Ryan's SuperValu in Grange presented Douglas G.A.A. Club with a set of jerseys to mark their sponsorship of the Intermediate hurlers for the 2009 season.

Douglas 1-07 Naomh Abán 0-08


It has been a great few days for Douglas footballers. On Saturday evening Douglas defeated Bishopstown by 2-10 to 2-06 in the Minor Premier Football Championship. Then, this evening in the Senior Football Championship Naomh Abán were beaten 1-07 to 0-8. It was far from a classic but first round games are all about winning and Douglas showed a lot of character to grind out a win when the game looked lost.

21/05/2009: Douglas 1-08 Nemo Rangers 1-11
Senior Football Kelleher Shield


After an entertaining contest Nemo Rangers got the better of Douglas in the Kelleher Shield game played on Thursday evening in Douglas. Despite being short several regulars Nemo Rangers forged an early lead which they maintained to half time. From a Douglas perspective, Stephen Bermingham's goal was the highlight of the opening period.

Doheny's advanced to the next round of the senior football championship with a one point victory over Douglas at Cloughduv on Sunday afternoon.


It was a disappointing contest as both sides struggled to dominate in greasy conditions but Dohenys just about deserved the victory. First half points from Fearghal O'Sullivan, Shane McCarthy and Neil Heffernan had Douglas level at the break but it was not enough given that the strong breeze favoured Dohenys for the second half.

Douglas came out on top after a fiercely contested battle with Ballyphehane last Saturday evening to claim a place in the final of the Junior “B” football championship. Eyebrows were raised among the Douglas contingent at Ballinlough by the addition of experienced duo Billy Dorney and Joe Lynch to the backroom staff for the game and they were joined on the sideline by selectors Henry Grimes, John O’Keeffe, Fred Humphries, Brendan Larkin and John Grimes.
