The Senior men advanced to the semi-final of the Lola Montez Junior A Championship after they overcame Shamrock Gaels in Ballymote on Saturday evening last. All be it not a convincing performance, the lads came from nine points behind to win by two on a final scoreline of 3-12 to 3-10 to set up a semi-final with Ballymote in two weeks’ time.

The Minor lads finished their Championship group campaign with a trip to Keash to face Eastern Harps. With both sides having already qualified both sides played with their cards close to their chest. The game ended in a draw with final score 1-07 to 0-10. The lads face Curry in Curry this Friday in the A Championship semi-final. Throw in is at 6pm.

The U14 lads are playing their rescheduled Championship semi-final against Calry St. Josephs on Tuesday evening in The Sligo Centre of Excellence, Scarden. Throw in is at 6pm.
