Our senior boys played their Connacht C Schools quarter final last Wednesday in the Connacht Centre of Excellence against St. Joseph Secondary school Foxford. Ballinamore got off to a great start with the help of a small wind by scoring 3 points in the first 10 minutes with the 3 score coming from an excellent 45 kicked by Mark Ahern to lead by 3pts to 1.
Foxford fought back to score a goal but Ballinamore responded with some great scores from Dara Greenan and Jamie Plunkett which was then followed by an individual piece of skill which led to a goal by Colm McLoughlin. With Ballinamore on top just before the halftime whistle we conceded a goal which left the scoreline 1-6 to 2-4 in Foxfords favour.
Again at the start of the second half Ballinamore flew out of the blocks with points from Cormac Moran, Dara Greenan, and Jamie Plunkett to lead by 2 points. With 15 minutes to play and taking advantage of the strengthening wind Foxford took hold of the game and scored 2 quick goals along with a number of points in a 5 minute spell to streak ahead and this was unfortunately too much to claw back for the Ballinamore lads. They fought very hard throughout the game but finished on the losing side on a scoreline of 4-16 to 1-12.
