Ballela Camogs
The Ballela Camogs have had
a fine start to their first
season in Division 2. This has
been a step up in class this
season as they are playing
against tougher opposition and
much more experienced sides.
Despite this, the Girlʼs
pre-season preparations have
stood them in good stead as they
are unbeaten in their first 4
games with 4. Results so far
have seen them beat Clonduff at
Home and Away. They have also
beaten Ben Dearg and Liatroim at
Pairc Na Naomh. But with tough
games coming up against Ben
Dearg and Liatroim, which are
both away from home, this young
and quite in experienced Ballela
side will have tougher tests
ahead. Well done to the
Girls for their commitment from
the beginning of the year and to
Bernard Mc Cusker for the hours
spent on the training field.
