The Bundoran senior team got back on the winning trail after two heavy defeats in their previous two league games. They beat Urris by 3-14 to 0-9 with ten different players getting on the score-sheet. Next up is Sean MacCumhaills in the championship. The Reserves also won but had to endure a spirited comeback from Urris – leading by 3-8 to 0-1 at half-time they only had five points to spare at the final whistle on a 3-12 to 4-4 scoreline.

At underage level , despite some quite heavy showers a successful under-8 blitz was run in Gaelic park on Saturday morning. Many thanks to all the parents who helped out, to Pat Walsh who prepared the field and to Pat, Barry Keaney and Paul McGrath for referee-ing. The under-14s lost at home to table-toppers Ardara in Gaelic Park last Friday on a 1-6 to 3-11 score-line and their next game is away to Kilcar on Wednesday July 2nd and at home to Four Masters the following Wednesday. The under-16s play Four Masters in their Donegal Adventure Centre semi-final on Friday July 4th and the minors are out in the Britton All-Sports Regional League Final against Dungloe on Wednesday July 7th. The Under-10s travel to Pettigo for a four team blitz that will also involve Naomh Brid and Aodh Ruadh on Saturday July 4th. The bus will leave St Macartan’s National School at 10.30.

Congratulations to Trevor McGlone, Lawrence Goan and the under-16s who won the County Division 1 under-16 title last Friday evening in Convoy. In a gritty display Bundoran recovered from the concession of 1-1 in the first minute to record a 1-13 to 2-5 victory against Milford who, along with St Eunans, were their bogey team at this level over the last five years. Two points behind 2-2 to 0-6 at the break, a Brandon Goodwin goal early in the second half gave Bundoran a lead they were never to relinquish.

Elsewhere it was a less encouraging week as the Seniors fielded a weakened side for the second week in succession and suffered a crushing home defeat at the hands of Naomh Mhuire. The Reserves, on the other hand, had a comfortable 2-14 to 0-11 victory. The u-14s also lost at home to Killybegs. This coming week sees the u-21s start their championship campaign against Moville in Gaelic Park, while the u-14s have games scheduled against Ardara (at home) tonight Thursday and Kilcar, away, next Wednesday. The Seniors and Reserves are due to play Urris in Gaelic Park in Gaelic Park this Sunday.

The News and Views town league reached its finale on Saturday in Gaelic Park with James Cassidy-managed Munster coming from behind to defeat Gerry Oates-managed Connacht in a thrilling game. Leinster defeated Connacht in the third place play-off. This coming Saturday an u-8 blitz will be held in Gaelic Park.
