Munster Junior Football Championship:
Our run in the Munster Junior Football championship came to an abrupt end on Saturday last 15th Jan in Mallow against Kerry Champions Gneeveguilla. We opened the scoring with a point, but then a very good Gneeveguilla side took over. It was 2-9 to 1-4 at half-time and after a low scoring 3rd Quarter, Gneeveguilla tagged on the scores to run out deserving winners 4-18 to 1-6.
Well done to a very good Gneeveguilla side & best wishes in the All-Ireland series.
Well done to all involved in the Ballina Squad this year. Saturday didn't go to plan, but we must remember the great performances all year. Well done to the management of Kevin Byrne (Manager), Tome Meskell & Martin Neary, David Tighe (First Aid) and the entire panel - led be captain Steven O'Brien.
In 2022 we can look forward again to Intermediate Football & Junior "B" Football.

#ClubScoreboard=ClubEircode:
Following the recent incident at The Ragg, we are encouraging every club to display their Eircode on their scoreboard. If we need to call an ambulance or any emergency service, we will be asked for this. Everyone looks for/at the scoreboard during a game & if we can use this universal landmark as a place to display our eircode, everyone will know where to look during an emergency.
