In preparation for the Final the Under 12s played Padraig Pearses in challenge match yesterday (Sunday). It was a great game with both Teams giving their all and in the end Elphin-Ballinameen won on a scoreline of 2-11 to 1-5. The team was captained by Dylan Butler who was outstanding, scoring 4 points from play, whilst his general all round play was “Top Drawer”. All played well, especially Evan Murray again, who just seems to do so in every match.
