* Well done to the U14's who continue to play with commitment and determination throughout the ongoing series of league games. Last week, a very dominant An Riocht side defeated the Baileghlas lads, but confidence was restored following a full-hearted team display against league leaders Mitchell's. Despite again coming out on the losing side, the players enjoyed the free flowing game. The U-14's had an away game earlier this week against St. John Bosco and next Monday evening they take on Longstone at the Valley Road.

* Baileghlas U-12's lads performed extremely well at the Valley Road on Sunday against neighbours Longstone. This was the proverbial game of two halves with a strong wind affecting the outcome. Baileghlas played with the wind in the 1st half and with two goals from Sean Quinn, points from Paul Quinn and Callum Stevenson they led 2 -3 to 1 point at half time. The second half, it was backs to the wall with exceptional performances from Keelin Kearney in goals and Matthew Cunningham and Matthew Brennan in defence. Ryan Higgins also had some great blocks but in the end, Longstone finished the stronger team and won by 5 points. Well done to all the Lads.
