The minor team got their Division One campaign back on track thanks to a hard- earned 0- 15 to 1- 10 win over Shamrock Gaels at Coola last Thursday evening. In a tight contest, our lads trailed by a point at the break, 1- 4 to 0- 6, but hit the front in the second half. Best wishes and speedy recovery to Rory McHugh who sustained an injury late on in the game.

Our under- 16 boys played out a cracking 4- 17 to 5- 14 draw with Castleconnor on Monday evening at Quigabar. In a very exciting encounter, our boys overturned a six- point half- time deficit to lead in the closing stages but a late Castleconnor goal ensured the game ended all square. The squads have a break in competitive action this week training continues.

Our under- 14s return to league action this Friday evening when they take on Tubbercurry/ Cloonacool in Tubbercurry at 7 p. m.

Our under- 12s continued their fine form in Division Two when they accounted for Castleconnor, 0- 9 to 0- 7, in a competitive game at Quigabar last Tuesday evening. The result means our lads have four wins from four with one round remaining in the group stage. They have a break for two weeks before a meeting with Easkey on May 30.

Best of luck to the Sligo senior footballers in their Connacht Championship quarter- final against Mayo next Sunday. Best wishes also to Eoin Hallinan and the Sligo under- 17 footballers who play their Mayo counterparts in the curtain raiser to the senior game at McHale Park next Sunday.
