*Senior League Campaign Begins*
The Seniors and Reserves kick off their league campaigns this weekend at home to Letterkenny Gaels. The will take place on Good Friday with the reserve throw in at 4pm and the Seniors at 5.15pm. Lets get good support out to cheer the boys on.
*Minors*
CLG BnaG 2-7 Termon 5-12.
A terrible first half from the boys left themselves an awful lot of hard work to do in the second half but they rallied back impressively in the second period to close the gap. Unfortunately they had left themselves far too much to do and were unable to come close to Termon in the end up. A lot of the boys are training well with some in serious contention for a starting spot on the Senior team so if they can keep up their performances in training and a few more of the minor team join them they won’t be far away come championship time. Best for CLG BnaG on Sunday were Jamie Heena, Gavin McFadden and Odhran Coll. Team: Gavin McFadden, Dara McGettigan, Gavin Grier, Jason McConigley, Shay Durning, Jamie Heena, Darragh Black (1-0), Kane Barrett (1-3), Dominic Hull, Emmett Conaghan (0-1), Caolan Bolton, Jason Scullion, Odhran Coll, Dylan Hegarty (0-3), Hugh McMenamin. Subs: Kieran Sheridan and Finian Ferry came on at half time.
