Division 1A

Our seniors, fresh from their county final championship victory, defeated Ballinagh in their league clash on Saturday evening last in Templeport. Although both sides were short some regulars, they served up an entertaining game. Ballinagh, despite having the  assistance of a very strong wind in the first half, were behind by one point at half time thanks to a Declan Meehan goal. A Paul O Connor goal early in the second half gave the Gaels some breathing space. Ballinagh did rally and converted a penalty but it was the Gaels who won by a seven point margin 3-12 to 1-11.
