Senior Championship
On Saturday evening the senior team took on Bornacoola in the Championship Quarter Final and came away with a win by the narrowest of margins.
As far as the Gaels team and supporters are concerned the first twenty eight minutes of this game are best forgotten. In the first few minutes Bornacoola scored 1-2 and looked totally in control. The Gaels got the next two scores in the dying minutes of the half and went in at the break three points down. The Gaels were better in the second half and they needed to be. They had a spell where they played some great football and scored six unanswered points. In the end they finished a point ahead. They are now in the Semi-Final and this is a great achievement, but there is a lot of room for improvement on this display.
Well done to all.
Congratulations Donegal!
The Club would like to congratulate Donegal on the great victory over Cork in the All Ireland semi-final.

The breakdown of the €31 is as follows – County Board €2, Provincial Council €3, Central Council €16 and Injury Fund €10.Membership will be €15 for each girl and some girls have yet to pay for 2012.
