*Ballylough Minors completed their all county league programme with another superb win. Cumann Pheadair Naofa were the visitors to Pairc Naomh Eoin last Tuesday evening. The Loch fought back after a sluggish start to lead by the minimum at half time. In the second half the Loch did well to lead by five points with five minutes remaining before CPN got back to within a point but the Loch held firm for the win. Baile an Locha 4-10 CPN 1-18. The result capped a brilliant first season at all county level. The Loch lost their opening two fixtures of the campaign before going on to win nine of the next ten games. They also annexed the East Down & All County Sevens titles. The Loch now await the outcome of other outstanding league fixtures to learn if they have done enough to reach the league final which is to be held on Tuesday 24th July. The championship begins Tuesday 31st July.

 

*Very well done to our U16's footballer & Baile an Locha minor goalkeeper Morgan Croskery who was the net minder in Down U16s Gerry Reilly competition win over Dublin at Abbotstown on Saturday. Morgan was also involved in the win against Meath previously and will now look forward to the Kildare game on Saturday 28th July hoping to help his team mates make it 3 from 3.
