John Barry and Brendan Black have joined forces to solve the problems of anyone seeking a suitable Christmas present for supporters of G.A.A. in Douglas.

With the pitch on Castle Road unplayable due to poor weather, the league semi-final between Douglas and St. Catherine's was switched to Conna. Douglas played with the aid of the breeze in the opening half but were unable to capitalise and were two points down at the interval. Despite delivering an impressive second half performance Douglas were eclipsed on a scoreline of 1-11 to 1-08. The Camogie players and management can now look forward to a well deserved winter break.

Reminder: The annual general meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 25th November at 7.30pm in the pavilion hall. All members are requested to attend.

Douglas 1-12 South Liberties 2-10


A memorable year for the Douglas Intermediate hurlers reached a climax at Mallow on Sunday when Limerick champions South Liberties snatched a dramatic win in the final of the Munster Intermediate Hurling Championship. Douglas defied the elements to dominate the first half and enjoyed a two point interval lead. However, South Liberties deserve great credit for turning the game around in the second half and survived a late Mark Collins goal to cling on for a one point victory. They will now represent the province in the all-Ireland series.

It is quickly turning into a golden year for the Douglas hurlers. Dungarvan provided the opposition at Fraher Field on Sunday afternoon. After a sluggish opening, Douglas found their rhythm to lead by two points at the interval before increasing the intensity on the changeover to record a devastating 2-22 to 1-09 victory.

In 1982 when Douglas, captained by Joe O’Brien, defeated a fancied Mallow team in Fermoy to win their first under 16 “A” county football title, a pipe band greeted the team and bus load of supporters to lead the victory parade through the December fog, up the village and into the club. Given that the ’82 win was only Douglas’ second grade “A” underage success since, 1958 naturally it was greatly celebrated.
