Scotstown GAA Ulster Senior Championship quarter final result Scotstown 0-19 Erne Gaels 0-6
The Scotstown GAA senior men played Erne Gaels in the quarter finals of the 2024 Ulster Senior Championship campaign on Saturday last in Enniskillen. Well done to the team and management in their 0-19 to 0-6 win with a brilliant, accomplished performance with outstanding scores. Erne Gaels had started strongly, but the Blues withheld their attack sharply and scored the opening point in the second minute with Jack McCarron’s first well placed free of the evening. Erne Gaels responded well and equalised a minute late. However by the end of the first quarter Scotstown had surged to an 8 point lead, by 0-9 to 0-1, with 8 brilliant points by Jack McCarron (0-4, 2M, 1f); Conor McCarthy (0-4) and Micheal McCarville. Jason Carey and Jack McCarron added 2 more fine points before Erne Gaels scored to make the score 0-11 to 0-2. Kieran Hughes scored a stunning point from distance and Jack McCarron added to his tally with another well placed point from play, with a further fine score from Conor McCarthy to make the half time score 0-14 to 0-3.
Erne Gaels started the second half strongly and scored 2 points in quick succession. The Blues responded positively and in a six minute spell scored 3 more brilliant points, one each by Conor McCarthy, Jack McCarron and Shane Carey. In the next 10 minutes Scotstown scored their 2 final points, one each fine scores from Conor McCarthy and Mattie Maguire making the score 0-19 to 0-6. The last 10 minutes was a quiet affair and the Blues booked their Semi Final spot with the final score of 0-19 to 0-6. Well done to the players and David and his management team.

Health and Wellbeing
Scotstown GAA will continue this year with its Healthy Club project which aims to help GAA clubs explore how they support the holistic health of their members and the communities they serve. Early in the year we continued the Make a Ceili initiative which was launched before Christmas. In January / February saw the start of the Operation Transformation walk, the Scotstown Ladies hosted a Women’s Health talk, a drugs and Alcohol awareness workshop with our coaches, and we had several card nights during the first quarter. During May we had the Hello How are you? Campaign and in August, a community event after the Blessing of the Graves. Last weekend we had daffodil planting in Kilmore (please see next note) and this weekend sees the return of the card nights (please see note below).
Daffodil planting in Kilmore
On Saturday morning in Kilmore, the Scotstown ladies and our volunteers planted daffodil seeds for their bloom time to mark 2025 Daffodil Day on March 22nd and to raise awareness for the Irish Cancer Society. Senior Ladies Footballer Abbie McCarey explained how this initiative was suggested to the Scotstown ladies last year to help out raising awareness for Daffodil day by having a section of the Kilmore track surrounded by beautiful daffodils in time for Daffodil day 2024 back in March. Abbie thanked everyone involved, including the ladies and minor girls, and all the other helpers and volunteers. This initiative is part of our Silver Healthy Club. Well done everyone and we look forward to seeing the host of golden daffodils in early Spring along the Kilmore track.
