*Seniors*
Carndonagh 1-4 CLG BnaG 5-15
3 from 3 for the Seniors after another superb display in Carndonagh at the weekend. Na Galloglaigh got off to a golden start when Kane Barrett found the top corner to add to a Christopher Barrett point to leave it 1-1 to nil after 2 minutes. The defence were well on top in the first half with Sean Black in particular playing excellently and showing how big a loss he will be when he departs for the US in a few weeks time. They held Carn to just two points in the first half but had a scare late on when it took a combination of Caolan Mc Gettigan and Sean Black on the line to prevent a goal, while Chippie Barrett got the first of his two goals to leave the half time score 2-9 to 0-2. Carn came out all guns blazing at the start of the second half but the boys stood firm to keep them at bay and began to dominate all over the pitch again. Carn managed to get themselves in for a goal with about ten minutes remaining, but this appeared to be like waving a red flag to a bull as soon after Chippie Barrett, Darragh Black and Cathal Mc Gettigan raised green flags while Gavin Grier, Pauric Curley, and another US bound loss Luke Barrett, excellent in midfield, added points. Another superb performance ended in a thoroughly deserved 5-15 to 1-4 victory, and another victory on the road. Next up is a home game against Red Hughs where the lads will be looking to avenge their defeat from the first game of the season. This will be the first of 3 consecutive home games as games against Naomh Brid and Naomh Colmcille also scheduled to be at home. Team: Caolan McGettigan, Brandon Toye, Sean Black, Gavin Grier (0-1), Dean Burgess, Gary Merritt, James Doyle, Kieran Gorman, Luke Barrett (0-1), Darragh Black (1-1), Pauric Curley (0-2), Cathal McGettigan (1-6), Kane Barrett (1-1), Christopher Barrett (2-3), Paddy Peoples.

The A Team came from 6 points down to earn a draw, against a very good team, thanks to a great performance in midfield by Matthew McLaughlin, great goalkeeping by John Matthews, and brilliant block downs from Bruce MacAuley. The B Team also earned a draw coming from behind to draw thanks to good performances from Barry Donnelly, Kyle Burns, and Owen McElhinney. Pride of place goes to the C Team who came from 2 down to win by 4 thanks to the performances of Anna Russell, Kyra O’Donnell and Oran McGee. Next Monday the teams play away to Downings
