Senior: St. Mary’s took on
Ballymote at Kent Park last Saturday evening in the sixth round of the Division
1 League. The home side, aided by the wind in the first half, led by seven
points at half time with Neil Smyth getting on the score sheet twice with two
well taken goals. Ballymote always threatened during the second period and
Mary’s withstood some heavy pressure before a Colm Egan goal with ten minutes
remaining sealed the victory. Final Score: St. Mary’s 3-7 Ballymote 1-8. Special mention to Minor
player Cian Breheny who made his debut for the Club at this level. The Seniors
