Hurling- The under 16s had a busy couple of days last week, taking on the top two teams in the league. First up on Tuesday was a meeting with St Eunan's. We got off to a great start and led by four points early on. Unfortunately as the game wore on our work rate and discipline was diminished. St Eunan's were quick to punish mistakes and their ability to hit the net proved the difference as they ran out comfortable 7-9 to 2-10 winners.

On Thursday the under 16s put in a much improved effort against table toppers Setanta. Despite losing out 3-15 to 3-6 there were a lot of positives to be taken from the game.

Ladies -The minors have their first match of the league campaign on Saturday. This will be in Father Tierney Park at 11am against St Eunan's.

The under 13 girls had a busy week. They made the trip to Derrygonnelly on Tuesday for a challenge match against a physically strong under 14 side.

And they had their first league game on Friday away to local rivals Bundoran. After a very entertaining game the Ballyshannon girls left Bundoran empty handed following a tightly contested match against a well drilled Realt na Mara side.

Hurling- The under 16s had a busy couple of days last week, taking on the top two teams in the league. First up on Tuesday was a meeting with St Eunan's. We got off to a great start and led by four points early on. Unfortunately as the game wore on our work rate and discipline was diminished. St Eunan's were quick to punish mistakes and their ability to hit the net proved the difference as they ran out comfortable 7-9 to 2-10 winners.

On Thursday the under 16s put in a much improved effort against table toppers Setanta. Despite losing out 3-15 to 3-6 there were a lot of positives to be taken from the game.

We finished third in the league so now play Buncrana in the A Shield final.

Well done to our representatives at the county under 12 skills competition in Convoy on Thursday, Hugh Óg Maguire, Killian Bradshaw, Tommy Clyne, Corey Sheridan and Gareth Brennan. We were delighted to have two representatives, Calum Tierney and Johnny Lin, taking part in the half-time mini games at the county hurling final on Saturday.

Congratulations to Gerard and Sarah Ferguson on their new arrival, Nessa. Well done also to James O'Donnell and Linda Lawne on their new addition, Oscar.

Tiocfaidh dhá fhoireann amach as achan ghrúpa. Beidh a gcéad chluiche ag na Dúnaibh in éadan Ghaeil Fhánada agus beidh an cluiche seo as baile thall I bPort a’ tSalainn. Chas an dá fhoireann ar a chéile sa chluiche ceannais de Chomórtas Peile na Gaeltachta agus is cinnte go raibh cluiche den scoth eatarthu, cluiche teann spórtúil agus gan ach cúpla pointe a scaradh óna chéile ag deireadh.

Our U9 and U10 boys also took part in the same tournament. Our B team were in a very strong group of Letterkenny Gaels, Buncrana (tournament winners), Gweedore and Ardara. They won all their games to advance to the semi final of the cup competition. There they defeated Glenswilly but lost in the final to a strong Four Masters side.

The A team defeated the hosts Letterkenny Gaels and Gweedore and had already qualified for the cup competition before playing Ardara. In the semi final they beat a Four Masters side who were unbeaten in the group stages. In the final against a very strong Ardara side, we were level after normal time. We had a free to win the game, unfortunately the hooter sounded and we were not allowed to take the free. After extra time an exceptional Ardara side secured the win after an exceptional game from both teams.

Team A. Brendan Cunningham, Damhan McGettigan, Michael Moore, McKenzie Friel, Ronan Cunningham, Ciaran Conaghan, Charlie Gorman (capt). John Cannon, Fionn McGrenra, Jake Burrowes, Oisin Kelly, Barry Doherty.

Our U14 boys season cane to an end last week in disappointing fashion. Unfortunately Downings would not facilitate our request to play our U14 Div 3 shield semi final. Our A team were well beaten by a very impressive Dungloe/Na Rossa team on Friday in the County A Semi final. Again it was a hugely disappointing end to what had been a fantastic season for this team. Thanks to Paddy Mc Menamin and Hugh Harkin for their work since February with this team.
