Sympathy

The club would like to extend its sympathy to the Collins family Boher on the recent death of Christy Collins, who was laid to rest in Burgess Cemetery after Requiem Mass in Boher church last weekend. Christy hurled with Ballina during the fifties and early sixties, and was a lifetime supporter of the club. Ar

Under 21 Footballers

After their impressive performance last weekend Ballina headed for Newport to play the local team in the 2nd round of the championship. They found Newport a stiffer challenge, they were trailing 1-4 to 0-3

at half time, with Brian O Connor and Stephen O Brien doing the scoring. Despite a good start in the 2nd half Ballina found it difficult to find the posts. Newport managed to score 1-3 early in the half without reply from Ballina, this finished the game as a contest. Final score Newport 2-9 Ballina 0-3.

Intermediate Hurlers

Ballina travelled to Ballinderry last Sunday morning to play their 1st league game . Ballina were slow to settle, with heavy underfoot conditions made good hurling hard to find, they found themselves trailing 0-5 to 0-2 at half time. In the 2nd half Ballina playing with the wind, upped the ante, and went on to win by a score 0-9 to 0-6 to Shannon Rovers. They now go on to play Ballinahinch in the League Final @ 2.00pm

next Sunday in Dolla . As this is a local derby an exciting game is guaranteed. All support is vital for this clash.
