Saturday night a number of athletes from Donegal and Banbridge County Down stayed in some of the local B&B guesthouses to rest before cometing in an All Ireland athletic event held in Tullamore yesterday.Shannonbridge was the nearest accomodation available.
Yesterday was a crunch day for our football team as they played Tullamore in Doon pith. Tullamore won 1--6 to 0--6 points. That unlucky goal once more.
Doon played Ferbane on the Shannonbridge pitch last evening and ran out impressive winners scoring 16 points to 6 points.
National football games saw Laois beat Kildare and Tyrone beat Down.
Roscommon play Kildare this coming Saturday in Portlaoise.
In hurling on next Sunday there is a double header in Croke Park with Offaly playing Tipperary and Antrim playing Wexford.
