Hard luck to Marty O’Reilly (above), Rory Gallagher and all the Donegal team after Saturday’s defeat to Mayo.
A sharper and perhaps more rested Mayo team progress at our expense. This Donegal team has given everything to their county and we are eternally grateful for it.
All-Ireland Minor Hurling B Quarter-Final:
The Donegal hurler’s were unsuccessful in their campaign in the B category after suffering defeat to Mayo in Letterkenny on Saturday.
This is disappointing for our four lads on the team but after winning the C grade they can look back on the year with great pride, there is plenty more to come yet from these lads.
Reserves:
Our reserves travelled to Glencolmcille on Sunday to fulfil a postponed fixture from earlier in the campaign. The lads recorded victory in their first game back after a long break. Final score was: Seán Mac Cumhaills 2.12 Naomh Columba 2.05.

There was no winner of last week’s Lotto. The numbers drawn were 3, 11, 15 and 20. There were three match 3 winners, Michael Patton, Shauna Kelly and JJ Dorrian each receive €50. Jackpot this week is €6,300 and Shane McNulty’s team is selling.
The club are asking for people to help out by selling lotto’s. This would involve helping to sell 1 week out of every 7 or 8 depending on the amount of teams formed.
