Senior Football (Ladies): Championship Semi Final; St. Naul s V Buncrana - Yesterday brought the curtain down on our Senior Ladies championship when they travelled to Mountcharles to play St. Naul's in the Semi Final. St. Naul's won the toss and played with a strong breeze in the first half and their strong running had our girls on the back foot from the start, their shooting was top drawer and by half time they were well in control. In the second half our ladies kept pushing against the tide and never stopped trying but they just never got out of first gear to get their game going. It was a tough finish to their championship. U9 Boys: Buncrana V Burt -

The game was played in preparation for the Inishowen U9 league starting next week. U9s V Burt Burt Tournament - Congratulations to some of our U9s who played in a great tournament hosted by CLG Burt on Sunday morning.

U14 Boys: County Final; Buncrana V Naomh Ultan - Buncrana played Naomh Ultan in Burt on Tuesday evening in the County U14 Final. They were comprehensive winners on a scoreline of 12-8 to 2-8. This was an excellent end to the league campaign by Buncrana. All the hard work done since January by Michael and his backroom team paying dividends. Naomh Ultan opened the scoring with the first point of the game but that was unfortunately as good as it got for them. Buncrana quickly got into their stride and started to dominate all over the field. Buncrana fired over their first two points from Jamie Mc Daid and Oisin Crawford to go into the lead. Then the goal glut arrived with Buncrana getting 5 three pointers with their next five scores. Jamie Mc Daid scored 3 of the goals with one from Ryan Mc Daid and the other an OG. Naomh Ultan kept in touch finding the net on two occasions in the first half. Three Kevin Jordan points one from play and the other two from frees pushed Buncrana further ahead. The first half scoring finished with another goal from Jamie Mc Daid and one from Ryan Mc Daid. Half-time score; Buncrana 7-5 Naomh Ultan 2-5. Buncrana were even more dominant in the second half with Naomh Ultan only scoring three points for the half. Buncrana's scoring spree continued with goals coming from Oisin Crawford, Kevin Jordan and three more from Jamie Mc Daid. The game was long over as a contest when the final whistle sounded. Buncrana scorers were; Jamie Mc Daid 7-2, Ryan Mc Daid 2-0, Kevin Jordan 1-4, Oisin Crawford 1-2 and 1 OG.
