The minor team played Lifford in the second round of the Minor Championship in Lifford on Monday evening last. After winning the first leg at home it was important that David McConnall’s boys stepped up to the mark with a victory that would take them to the next round.

David Galbraith opened the score for Buncrana and points from Kevin Tracy, Patrick McMyler and an individual goal from Garbhan Friel gave the visitors a two point lead at half-time.

Playing with the wind in the second half, the Buncrana team came forward in numbers and were comfortable winners with a man-of-the-match performance from Kevin Treacy playing at wing half-forward. Buncrana minors will now meet Glenswilly in the quarter-final of the Championship.

The U16 footballers played Termon last Friday night in the Donegal Championship but unfortunately they lost 6-12 to 4-9. It was still a good performance by the boys who played without a number of regulars, but their season now comes to a premature close.

The minor footballers suffered two setbacks last week after a couple of good results the week before. Last Monday week they lost 7-18 to 2-5 against Letterkenny Gaels in the second leg of their Donegal Championship clash.
