	CO LEAGUE: At Shannon Park on Sunday our senior team which included several members of the junior team lost to Finuge by a score of 1-15 to 0-8 in the county league. Tarbert trailed at half-time by a score of 0-10 to 0-6 after playing against the wind. In the second half lack of fitness told and the team lacked motivation and spirit and as a result Finuge ran out easy winners. Over the hour the forwards missed several good scoring chances including a penalty. Best for Tarbert were, Eoin O’Connell, Micheal Sheehan, Kevin Wren, Deo O’Connor, Stevie Deenihan and John O’Connell who was making a welcome return to the team. Also making a return to the team was Brian Carrig who had been on holidays abroad for the last number of months.

	SOCCER: Ferry Rangers AFC will hold their annual general meeting on this Friday night, July 12, at 8pm at the Lanterns Hotel in Tarbert. It is important that there is a good turn-out on Friday, especially parents of the various schoolboy teams, because without the support of parents and interested others, it is difficult to keep things going strongly. The club is now in existence since 1995 and has had some great successes, both at senior and at underage level. The committee of the club have also worked very hard to make the weekly lotto the success it is today. So, for anyone interested in soccer in the parish, the place to be is the Lanterns this Friday night. All are welcome.
