Division 4 League: St Ronans 2-10 Elphin 0-12.
Our junior team lost by 4 points after an evenly contested league game on sunday last in ballyfarnan, a goal in each half was ultimately the difference in the two teams. Ronans went 0-4 to no score up after 5 minutes before Elphin got a few scores to bring us back into it. Ronans lead by 1-5 to 0-6 at half time. The second half started and try as we might Elphin could not get back level. A second goal effectively killed the game however we never gave up and in the end lost out by 4 points.
