All camogie players have to be registered to be eligible to play matches.  Forms should be handed in as soon as possible.

The U14s met Swatragh in the semi final of the feile last week. After a very close first half with only a point between the teams, it loooked like eiter team could won. Unfortunately Swatragh came out stronger in the second half and took their scores, while Screen missed chances and just couldnt finish. Swatragh now go on to face Slaughneill in the Feile final.

The U14 camogs have a league match against Newbridge this week so good luck girls.

With the Screen Seniors doing exams and having others commitments they couldnt field against Coleraine last Friday night and had to give away 2 points.
We would like to wish al the club members doing their exams at present good luck and keep studying!

Senior Football
Ballinascreen 1-8 Loup 1-16

A tough encounter between the Loup and Ballinascreen was played last Friday night. In good conditions the Loup just had too much fire power for Screen to deal with and a goal from Eunan Murray wasn't enough to hold the Loughshore men back.

Next up is Kilrea. Details of the fixture will be in Facebook in the coming weeks.


Feile na nÓg Football

Commiserations to our gallant Under 14 footballers who suffered a narrow defeat to Bellaghy at the Brand New Owenbeg last Bank Holiday Monday.

After starting the match well Screen saw themselves take the lead coming up the the 2nd half with 2 superbly taken goals from John Paul Devlin. A lack of points was a problem though with the lads hitting a couple of wides while Bellaghy were more clinical in front of the posts.

A dubious penalty decision was then awarded to Bellaghy which they duly dispatched to leave them a bit of a cushion that Screen could not claw back.

Well done to all the lads and the management team on representing the Club so well in a County Final. We are sure there will be success to follow in the very near future.

Under 16 Hurling

Congratulations to the victorious Ballinascreen U16 Hurling Team, who travelled to Ballyshannon on Monday 6th May and swept all before them to win the Alan Ryan Cup U16 Hurling tournament. Also in the Photograph is the Liam McCarthy Cup, which was on display for the day. 
 
Teams from all over Ulster and Connacht fought it out in a very competitive and entertaining days hurling with Ballinascreen finishing the day with a 100% record and as champions. 
In the group stages they overcame Easkey (Sligo), Tuam (Galway)  and Tooreen (Mayo) to qualify for the semi Finals against Padraig Pearses (Roscommon).
 
 
After a hard fought and very physical match, the Derry men prevailed with 6 points to spare and a place in the final against Easkey, who defeated Ballycastle in the other semi final, was secured.   
The final was a titanic battle between two very talented and committed sides.  Screen's long range point taking and excellent defence laid the platform for a well deserved victory, final score Ballinascreen - 2.7   Easkey - 1.7.
 
 
On Sunday 12th May Ballinascreen U16 Hurlers played Swatragh in the opening round of the County league.  The game was played in conditions that were difficult to say the least. Swatragh had the benefit of the strong wind in the first half and took an early 1.1 to no score lead, however the Screen men settled into the game with Peter Lagan giving an exhibition at Centre half Back and Eoghan Gilmore, Ciaran Mc Bride and Eamon Conway standing up and taking control against of the situation. Screen drew level with 4 unanswered points before half time through Ronan O Kane, Sean Brunton (2) and Franny Doherty and were very unlucky not to lead at the break when James Duffy hit the post with a rocket of a ground shot from 20 yards.
 
The second half was a totally different game, screen went up through the gears and began to impose their style of play on the match and the supporters were treated to a wonderful array of fine scores coming from throughout the team.  The support play and work ethic of the Screen team in the second half was a credit to the club, and enabled Screen to eventually defeat Swatragh with a final score of 6-8 to 2-2.
