Shield A
Allen Gaels were the visitors to Dromod on Saturday evening for our second shield A game.

The Bornacoola team was: Ollie Vaughan, Damien Mc Guinness, Jason Conroy, Brian Mallon, Richard Bohan, Daniel Canning, Shane Conroy, John Mc Guinness, Morgan Shanley (0-1), John Bohan (0-1), Bobby Shanley (0-1), Niall Mc Gowan, Feargal Mc Gill (0-1), Mark Mc Closkey (0-1) and Brian Conroy.
