The first match sees our under 13s taking on their Letterkenny counterparts at 12.30pm for the county championship title. That will be followed by the Aodh Ruadh and Saint Eunan's third teams facing-off for the division four county title at 2pm. Needless to say this is a very big day for Ballyshannon Gaels so a massive show of green and white support from Ballyshannon is requested as our footballers bid to bring some silverware back to the club. ~ SENIOR FOOTBALL ~ The Thirds will take on Saint Eunan's for the division four league title at 2.00pm on Sunday, 23rd December at Tir Chonaill park, Donegal town. The game is preceded by the under 13 county final at 12.30pm which also pairs Aodh Ruadh and Saint Eunan's. With the thirds bidding to make it back-to-back league titles they deserve a massive show of support from the town. Please come out and get behind the team. ~ BORD NA N?ìG ~ The under 13s needed to call on all their reserves of guts and skill to overcome a determined Termon outfit in the county semi-final at Tir Chonaill park last Saturday. Ballyshannon got off to an awful start as Termon raced into a nine point lead early in the first half. Nevertheless Aodh Ruadh held their nerve and pulled back to within a point of the north Donegal outfit by the break with the scores at 2-8 to 4-3. The fight back was primarily attributable to the driving runs and scoring of Pauric Patton which hauled Aodh Ruadh back into the game. David McGurrin and Jamie McDonald were also instrumental in keeping Ballyshannon in touch with their economical shooting. Michael McNeely played some great football throughout the match and his terrier like tackling did much to disrupt Termon's attacking momentum. Johnny Gethins also excelled when he was pulled from his usual half forward berth to half back. Eamon McGrath played with considerable confidence and showed great relish as the game entered its decisive last ten minutes. Paddy Gillespie was unstinting and energetic throughout and gave a great performance in a game where the back line faced many periods of sustained Termon pressure. That pressure was greatest as the game entered its closing stages, but Aodh Ruadh were the side that was able to work the closing scores to win the game on a scoreline of 4-17 to 6-6. AODH RUADH: Conor Gilmartin; Matthew Maguire, Eamon McGrath, Paddy Gillespie; Matthew Gettins, Darren Gethins, Michael McNeely; Niall Harley, James Kelly (0-1); Johnny Gethins (0-2), Colm Kelly (0-1), Patrick Dixon; Jamie McDonald (1-2), David McGurrin (1-7), Pauric Patton (2-4). TERMON: Keelan Doherty; Joe McCosker, Kevin Murray, Killian McConaghey; Alan Dugra, Keelan Mellett, Damian Kearns; Aidan Sweeney (1-2), Michael Kelly (1-0); Ricky Gallagher (1-0), Shane Callaghan (1-0), Fintan O'Flynn (0-1); Keelan McDaid (0-1), Dara McDaid (0-2), Joe Callaghan (2-0). The final against Saint Eunan's takes place at 12.30pm on Sunday, 23rd December at Tir Chonaill park, Donegal town. It is the opening game in double header with the Division 4 league final which also features Aodh Ruadh and Saint Eunan's. Needless to say this is a very big day for Ballyshannon Gaels so a massive show of green and white support from Ballyshannon is requested as our footballers bid to bring some silverware back to the club.
