Senior Notes:
5-year plan:
We are in the initial stages of drawing up a 5-year plan under the chairmanship of Peter King. If you feel that you would like to make an input to the immediate to mid term future direction of the club, please email your thoughts and comments to secretary.ballina.tipperary@gaa.ie mentioning "5-year Plan" in subject matter, particularly if living away from home.
Senior Hurling Challenge Cup:
Moycarkey/Borris 0-14; Ballina 1-10.
Ballina travelled to Littleton to play the home side in round 2B of the challenge Cup. Ballina started slowly & Moycarkey raced into a 6-point lead. Bit by bit, Ballina came back into the game & closed the gap. However like the Loughmore game, Ballina just couldn't get the vital score & last out by the bare minimum.
Ballina have been drawn against Killenaule in the Quarter Final of the Holohan Cup in Ballina this weekend. Check fixtures for details.
Ballina Team: Adrian Power; Donal Kent, Aidan Hanley, Jerry O'Brien; Brian O'Connor, Thomas Collins, Kevin Cosgrove; Sean McKeogh, David Hickey; Diarmuid Healy, Patrick Cosgrove, Ronan Bourke; Brian McKeogh, Eoin Kent, Ben King. Subs used: Paddy O'Donovan & Brian Connolly.
