Spencer to Referee County Final:
Congratulations to Kilcullen clubman Mick Spencer who will, for the second year running, take charge of the biggest game in Kildare football. Mick will be officiating between Moorefield and Allenwood in the Senior Football Championship Final this Sunday in Newbridge.

Guarding the Tiger:
Also, congratulations to Kilcullen Senior manager Garda Steve Kinneavey who was given perhaps the equally daunting task of guarding the competing Ryder Cup players as they made their way around the K-Club last weekend. A picture of Steve walking mindfully behind Tiger Woods makes the front page of this weeks Kildare Nationalist Sport supplement.

Under 15 Girls off to a flyer
The Under 15 Girls had a good win in their opening round game against a strong Eadestown team. The final score was 1-11 to 3-4 in favour of the Kilcullen girls. Top scorer was Cíara Lambe with 1-3 to her credit while Kayleigh Cogan, Rosanne Fox and Aoife Molyneaux also got among the scorers.

Junior Double Header
While all is quiet on the Kilcullen scene this week, those of you looking for your GAA fix can head to the Kilcullen pitch on Saturday. At 4pm The Junior C Championship Semi-Final between St.Laurenece's and Ballyteague takes place which will be refereed by Mick Spencer. This will be follwed at 5.30pm by the Junior Division One clash of Round Towers and St.Laurence's.

Semi-Final Defeat for Under 16's:
The Under 16's lost to Clane by 5-8 to 0-9 in the semi-final last night. However, the scoreline was not a fair reflection on the game as some of Clane's goals were very fortuitous indeed. There was quite a large contingent of Rags supporters in the stand in Clane yesterday evening, and they couldnt fault the young men in black and white for effort, in what were miserable conditions. Although they will be dissapointed by last nights result, they have done very well to get this far, with some impressive victories on the way, so credit must go to all involved.

Rearranged Under 16 Semi-Final:
The Under 16's semi-final did not go ahead last Friday, and instead will take place this evening at 6.30pm. The match is away to Clane. Best of luck to the young Rags.

Win for Ladies:
The ladies team beat Moorefield last night by 4-5 to 1-12. This is a more impressive win than the scoreline suggests as they were well in front for most of the game, but Moorefield piled on the pressure towards the end to come back within a few scores. However, Kilcullen held on and will now be hoping to follow up on this against Towers on Sunday.

Under 16 B Championship Semi-Final:
Following a very impressive win over Nurney last week, the Under 16's are into the semi-finals, where they will meet Clane. This game takes place this Friday evening at 6.30pm. Best of luck to all involved.

Juvenile Blitz and BBQ:
The underage section of the club is holding the annual Juvenile Blitz and Barbeque on Saturday 16th September at 2pm. All teams from Uunder 8's to Under 13's will compete in their final Saturday Training for 2006 which will be followed by Presentations, Food and the usual fun for both Children and Parents. All are Welcome.

Golf Reminder:
Final preparations are taking place for the Golf Classic this Friday. (Please see details below on last Wednesday's news).

Ladies Fixtures:
The following are the ladies fixtures over the next week involving Kilcullen:
Sat 9th Sept at 11am - U15 League Div 2 - Eadestown v Kilcullen.
Sun 10th Sept at 11am - Senior League Div 3 - Round Towers v Kilcullen.
Wed 13th Sept at 7pm - U13 League Div 3 - Ellistown v Kilcullen.

*P.S. It has been mentioned to me (Aidan) that the ladies fixtures havent been on this site in a long time, which is true. This is because they have not been in any of the local papers until the Nationalist this week, and that is where the fixture info comes from. If anyone knows the ladies fixtures every week, please email them to me at aidangleeson@gmail.com and I'll be glad to put them up. There are plenty of people who would go to these matches (including myself) if they knew when they were on.
