BEALE GAA: Beale were defeated Ballydonoghue in the first round of 2011 Under-21 Championship on Sunday in Ballylongford. Trailing by 4 points to 7 at half time, we found it difficult to score in the first half. A sharper Ballydonoghue took command of the game and but we brought them to within 1 point in the closing minutes with a superb goal. However the levelling point eluded us and the final scoreline read: Beale 1-6, Ballydonoghue 0-10. Team: Joe Downey, Brendan Moran, Philly Blake, Andy O’connell, Tomás Quinn, Shane Joy, Cormac Walshe (0-1), Pádraig Murphy, Mark Culloty (0-1), Jamie Culloty (1-0), Paul Horgan (0-2(1f)), Pádraic Walshe, Ian Mannix, Tom Joy (0-1), Diarmuid Crowe (0-1(f)).
