Elphin B 1-20 Kilglass Gaels B 1-10
The Juniors started their Championship campaign with a 1-20 to 1-10 win away to Kilglass Gaels B. It was a good, open game with excellent scores kicked by both teams. Every Elphin player did well but the “Man of the Match” title must be shared between Joseph Beirne and Dylan Shanagher whose point scoring was exemplary. They host St Croans B in Round 2 on Friday at 8pm.
