Minor Boys Football commences this Sunday, March 6th with the Northern Board League. The Div. 1 team travel to Buncrana and the Development Team host MacCumhaills. Both games throw-in at 12 noon.
There was a great turnout at the 5k on Saturday evening and it was former player and Irish Triathlon champion Aidan Callaghan who won the race, pipping minor player Donal Farren by just one second. Donal did lead the Minor footballers to the team award however. Well done to all the organisers on a superb event. Thank you also to sponsors Brian McCormick Sports and Michael Murphy Sports for their support.
