Playing against a strong wind and with rain and hail stone showers as well , the young home side went into the break 5 -1 down . The visiting side were physically stronger and made it difficult for the home team.I

In spite of the scoreline Ballinasloe's goal keeper, Ronan Broderick played well and Karl Feehily took his goal well . Despite being camped in their opponents half for nearly all the second half Ballinasloe could not get the goals they deserved , creating a host of chances . Fine performances from Conor Kelly , Jack Dillon and Lorcan Daly . Great spirit and a never give up attitude from this young side .

Scoreline - Ballinasloe 1 Mullingar 6 .
