Bailieborough Community School: Congratulations to the Under 16 Boys Gaelic Football Team who won the Ulster Final last week in Templeport. The boys defeated Glenties (Co Donegal) with a score of 1-4 to 0-6. Although the score-line was low and scoring opportunities were limited during the game, there was still no shortage of excitement and drama. Sometimes matches are won by the force of determination, grit and appetite for the battle. The players showed they can win a match by displaying great courage and bravery. We would like to acknowledge the hard work of all the players and the support given to them by Mr Reilly and Mr Donohoe during the year. Thank you to all the supporters who travelled in large numbers and encouraged the players. It is a great achievement to win a second Ulster Final for this panel of players – heartiest congratulations to all involved.
