Senior Ladies
Buncrana 2-14 St Nauls 5-3
Our Senior Ladies qualified for the County semi-final after a hard fought game against a very good St Naul’s team in an outstanding team performance. The girls were a credit to their club with their never-say-die attitude following two massive setbacks at the start of each half. Well done to all involved.

Club Jerseys
Elizabeth Anne is now taking orders for the new Buncrana club jersey. Keep in mind lads that they are player fit/tight fit. If you want to order one let her know the size and number on back you require, price €50. EA also has club shorts and white shorts are in stock.
Underage Reports
U15’s qualified for the Northern final. The lads played well in their first 3 games, winning 2 and drawing 1, before running out of steam in the last game against a strong St Eunan’s team. Best of luck to them in the final.
Well done to Liam O’Doherty who came 2nd at the county hurling skills competition last Saturday. Well done to all the Club Members who took part in the competition.

Club Lotto
No winner in last week’s Lotto. The numbers drawn were 1,4,10,13. As the Jackpot wasn’t won we then held the €500 monthly draw took place in Phil Hegarty’s and was won by Willie McLaughlin Winkers who purchased his ticket in Phil’s just before the draw was held. A great night’s fun was had by all but Willie’s cheque had dwindled quite a bit by the end of the night. Thanks to Patsy and Siobhan for the use of their premises for the draw.
