Division 3
The Junior A team kept themselves in contention for promotion with a fine victory over Mohill in Dromod on Sunday morning last. A first half goal blitz which saw Aidan Reilly, Damian Moran (from the penalty spot) and Declan Shanley (twice) find the back of the Mohill net was the platform for this win as Bornacoola built on their early dominance to finish 4-9 to 1-7 winners.

Next game is this Saturday evening at 7pm v Allen Gaels in Dromod.

Division 5
The Junior C team played Mohill on Sunday afternoon last and missing a number of regular starters left too high a mountain to climb as the visitors took the spoils on a final score of 1-11 to 0-5.
Team on duty was Dara Gavigan, David Faughnan, Brian Reilly, Tony Bohan, Roy Keenan, Brendan Duignan, Anthony Mulligan, Gerry Gearty, Alan Croghan, Conor Mc Weeney, Ollie Vaughan, Daniel Farrell, Anthony Mulligan, Ollie Mc Brearty, Jackie Conboy, Sub Alan Bohan. No game this weekend in Division 5.

U-16 League
The U-16’s played Leitrim Gaels in Dromod on Friday last and despite leading for long spells of the game, lost their discipline to some degree and ended up on the wrong side of a 3-8 to 3-3 scoreline. Their next game is this Friday evening in Gortletteragh at 7pm.

U-12 Blitz
The U-12’s will travel to Carrigallen this Wednesday evening to participate in the first blitz of the year and the action will get underway at 7pm.
