Our senior football league match versus
Kilrossanty due to be played last Saturday night
will now be played tonight Wednesday in
Clogherane at 8 p.m.
JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Ballinameela 4-6; Dungarvan 1-9.
Both teams scored ten times in this junior football
championship game in Ballinameela last

to raise geeen flags that carried the day for them.
Our final game is this Friday, June 1st v
Kilrossanty in Lemybrien at 7:30 p.m.
JUNIOR HURLING
Cappoquin will be the venue on monday next the
4th of June when we play Fourmilewater in round
5 of the Junior B hurling championship. This
game gets underway at 2 p.m.
UNDER 14 WESTERN FOOTBALL
CHAMPIONS
Well done to our under 14 footballers who won
the western title in the Fraher Field on Saturday
morning last with a deserving seven point win
over a gallant St. Oliver’s outfit. Oliver’s got off to
a great start when Shane O’Donnell scored an
early goal and our luck didn’t seem to be in when
a penalty kick by Mark Loftus came back off the
crossbar. However, this well trained team made
light of this setback and Mark Loftus returned to
score 1-1 to give us the lead. Aidan Mansfield levelled
the game before Kyle Healy set up Fionn
Nagle for a great goal and we we led by 2-1 to 1-
1 at half-time.
The deadly accurate Mark Loftus pointed his
second free on the restart but when Harry
O’Donovan set up Ben Buckley for Oliver’s second
goal the game was back in the melting pot.
The next score was always going to be vital and
Kyle Healy showed great leadership to kick two
fine points from play to put us 2-4 to 2-1 in front
with ten minutes to play. Daniel Buckley replies
for St. Oliver’s with their final score but the remainder
of the game belonged to Dungarvan with
Kyle Healy scoring a peach of a goal followed by
white flags by Mark Loftus and Fionn Nagle to run
out worthy winners. Each and everyone of the
boys played their hearts out and this was a hard
earned and deserved victory for these young
lads.
Team captain: Gavin Christopher received the
championship shield from Bord na nOg chairman
Tom Cronin amid great excitement from this great

CAMOGIE NEWS
Our under 14s travelled to Dunhill on Tuesday
night last to play St. Anne’s in the quarter-final of
the camogie B championship. This certainly
proved to be a game of two halves, where in the
first half we played some great hurling and out
scored our opponents by 4-1 to 2-0. To there
credit St. Anne’s came out in the second half and
quickly rattled off two quick goals and were to remain
in total charge of proceedings to run out
winners by two points.
While the girls were disappointed they can be
very proud of their efforts. Training will resume in
the coming weeks and hopefully we will have
some challenge matches and blitzes coming up.
