The Juniors got a narrow victory over a good Glenfin side in their 1st Rd. 1st leg Championship game in Taobhoige. The return game is scheduled for this Saturday in the Park at 5:45pm. The Seniors travelled to Dungloe in the League and came away with two valuable points in what is a very tight division this year. The Seniors and Reserves both travel to Malin on Saturday.
