Juvenile Boys Football

What a game it was for the Ballinamore Community Schools juvenile football team today! They faced off against a strong Colaiste Iognaid team, but our boys put up a great fight and came out on top with a final score of 1 goal and 11 points to 2 goals and 4 points.
There were standout performances from every player across the pitch, with each one showing great determination and work ethic. The defense held strong, the midfield controlled the game, and the forwards made some fantastic runs and shots on goal. It was truly a team effort, and it showed on the scoreboard.
Congratulations

again to the Ballinamore Community School juvenile football team on a well-deserved victory today. Keep up the great work!

Ballinamore led by 1:6 to 0:5 at half time having played into the wind in the first half.
St Jarlaths came back strongly in the second half and were within a point of Ballinamore after 12 minutes of the second half. But Ballinamore dug deep and scored the next 3 points to lead by 4 points.
