Congratulations to our Erne Valley u13 boys and u15 girls Community Games Rounders teams.

The u13 boys had a reasonably comfortable win over Castletara/Ballyhaise winning 13-8, but controlled proceedings for most of the match.

The u15 girls beat the experienced Ballyhaise outfit despite having only eight players. We snatched the game by denying Ballyhaise the two runs they needed with the bases loaded in a pulsating finish.

Erne Eagles Rounders Club would like to express it condolences to the family and friends of Lucas O' Reilly.

Lucas represented the club at under-age level in both the Community Games and GAA Rounders Feile.

Ballon Mixed Blitz Report 

Erne Eagles participated in a Mixed Rounder’s blitz on Sunday 30^th March in Cuchulainns, Ballon. We played two games. The first of the two games was against the host club Cuchulainns. However we started slowly and the Carlow outfit scored heavily in the first innings and although we improved as the game went on we never reduced the deficit to get close enough to challenge Cuchulainns.

Our second game was against our old rivals Limekiln from Dublin. This was a much better performance from us and we played some good Rounder’s and led by six runs going into the last bat. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to hold out and lost the match by a single run.

This was the first event of the year and as training hasn’t even started yet it was a useful exercise, and will focus minds for the challenges to come this season, with both Senior Men, Minor Men and Women’s teams seeking to defend their All-Ireland titles from last year.

This was a young and experimental team put out on Sunday with many new faces and some old ones coming back to feature in the season opener. Indeed we were close to fielding two teams despite missing many regulars and this can only augur well for the coming season.

Special mention must go to All-Star, Seán Og Brady who scored the competition’s only home run of the day. Seán Og along with fellow All-Star Damien Mc Ardle played in Saturday’s exhibition game against and Irish Baseball select team. Both acquitted themselves well.

Team:  Margaret Brady, Larry Cadden, Ashling Smith, Seán Og Brady, Una Brady, Killian Anderson, Julie Ann Brady, Seán Hughes, Avolene Lynch, James Smith, Dympna Reilly, Darryl Dolan, Linda Coyne, Alan Sheridan, Paddy Tierney.
