Juniors stage late comeback v Ballaghadereen
Davitts Junior team staged a dramatic late comeback to earn a share of the spoils against Ballaghadereen in a league game played in ideal conditions in Ballindine on Saturday evening.

Late goals from David Cosgrove and a superb Seamus Roche effort brought Davitts back into the game and three excellent Maurice Prendergast points earned a draw for the homeside. Davitts best players were Derek Mooney, Martin Cosgrove, Michael Ronayne, Seamus Roche, Maurice Prendergast, Richie Kilkenny and player coach Luke Ronayne.
