GAA and Parish Notes

November 8, 2018

Ballina GAA and Parish Lotto Build Up:   As you know, our Jackpot figure now stands at €11,200.   A  Build Up Jackpot is now underway and presently stands at €3,200.  As long as the main Jackpot is not won, each Jackpot figure will receive the €200 bonus every second week.

 

Juvennile Club:

Ballina Under 16:  Congratulations to our Under 16 Hurlers who defeated Newport-Ballinahinch in the North Semi-Final by a scoreline of 2-15 to 3-8.  This was a great team effort and they now go on to play the winners of Portroe and Templederry in the Final

 

Ballina Under 14: This team were very unlucky to be defeated by 3 points by a strong Roscrea outfit.

Despite being down a few points at half time, they made a great comeback in the second half and

after finishing even at the final whistle, the game went to extra time where Roscrea finished on top.  The club would like to thank all the selectors who did great work on this group of players in bringing them so far this year.

 

John Joe Nevin Tournament; This Tournament was yet again a great success with a number of local teams from Tipperary, Limerick, and Clare participating.  Clonlara and Portroe contested the final and the Clare side came out on top at the end of a great game. This Tournment is one of the best in the region,and one for which the great John Joe Nevin would be justly proud.
