Burt
The U12 footballers were denied a place in the Donegal Division One Championship final last Monday evening in Newtown after losing 2-10 to 1-11 to defending champions St Eunan's.
It was the U12s first defeat since the middle of last year. After St Eunan’s took the lead with a goal with five minutes remaining, Burt battled back to create chances and level the game. In the final seconds of the match, Burt hit the underside of the crossbar which was the last action of the game.
Despite the defeat, it was Burt's best performance of the year so far. Many congratulations to St Eunan's on reaching the final.
