Weekend 22nd/23rd October

The weather was the only winner this weekend as many games all over the league were postponed due to waterlogged pitches. Our Junior team were to play Real Tubber but it did not go ahead, they now have an away trip to Ballygawley next Sunday at 11am to look forward to.

Neither the U12's or the U14's had a fixture this weekend and neither have a fixture next weekend, both have training at the usual times this week. Due to the continuing poor weather and the clocks going back next weekend training times & venue are being assessed at the moment. Your co operation in this matter is appreciated.

U8 & U10 development training for 6 to 9 year olds continues every Sunday at 12:30 in Hynes' pitch, if there are any parents or ex players who are interested in helping out can you let us know as without more help we may not be able to continue with this age group.

Games played 15th & 16th October

The U14 boys lost their first game of the season on Saturday when they hosted Calry Bohs, we were without some players due to other commitments but the lads put in a good performance and were well in the game all through. It was an exciting game with both teams playing good attacking football. The final score was Dromore Villa 3 Calry Bohs 4, the Villa goals scored by Oisin Connolly & a brace from Iarla Connor.
All other teams had a weekend off but hope to be back in action next weekend.
U12 training Wednesday 6 - 7, U14 training Thursday and U8/U10 on Sunday morning at 12:30

Games played 8th & 9th October

In the Sligo Pallets Premier League we travelled to neighbours Kilglass/Enniscrone and as usual it was a full blooded local derby. In a game that produced 4 goals and 2 sendings off both teams had to be content with a share of the spoils on a scoreline of 2 goals each. Michael Connolly was on target for both of the Villa goals.

No match next week due to Sligo Rovers Cup Semi Final and Everyone at Dromore Villa wish "the Bit of Red" all the best next Sunday when they take on Bohs.

None of our youth teams were in action this weekend but our U14 side have a home tie V Calry Bohs next Saturday at 2pm.

No U8/U10 training next Sunday due to Sligo Rovers semi final.

Games played 1st & 2nd October

U12 boys made the trip to neighbours Western Rovers on Saturday and having lost their first 2 games were looking for their first win. They got into the game from the start and played some good passing football and created a few chances early on. The half time score was 3 Nil to Villa and a further 4 2nd half goals put the result beyond doubt. Cahan Hallinan took home the match ball when he completed his hat trick, Paul Clarke netted twice, Fionn Connolly and and a fine goal from distance by Daniel Rolston completed a 7 Nil victory.
Training continues Wednesday evenings at 6pm.

In The Sligo Pallets Premier League Cartron Utd were visitors to Dromore West on Sunday morning, in a very entertaining game both teams had to be content with a point as the game ended in a 2 - 2 draw. It was probably a fair result for both teams over the 90 minutes as both teams went out to play attacking football and both had chances that on another day could have ended up in the net, the Villa goals were scored by James Hynes and Gary Hynes.

Birthday Boy - Chairman of Dromore Villa Joe Burns celebrated his 50th birthday this week, The Beach Bar was the venue for the bash with his wife Pauline, daughters Danielle & Niamh, sons Shane & Ryan, extended family and friends on Saturday night and a great night was had by all. Sligo Rovers even had a record league win to celebrate the occasion, we wish Joe all the best for the next 50!!!
