The Minor team began their season on Sunday morning last with a very heartening seven point victory over Carrigallen on a scoreline of 2-8 to 0-7 with Paul Hackett and Alan Croghan finding the net for the Bors. An early goal in the first five minutes set the tone for an entertaining game and while the Bors led throughout, Carrigallen never gave up and were unlucky on a couple of occasions not to hit the net with Bornacoola goalkeeper Harry Comiskey in excellent form. Players and scorers as follows; Harry Comiskey, Sean Ryan, Roy Keenan, Kevin Canning, Damian McGowan, Damian Moran, Paul Hackett 1-0, Niall O’Connor 0-1, David Mulligan 0-1, Sean McKeon 0-4, Mervin Howard 0-1,Alan Croghan1-1, Darren McGushin sub used Alan Bohan.
