Results
A great win on Saturday night last when the Ballyfad hurlers had a one point victory over Buffers Alley, The last point of the game was the only time Ballyfad were ahead. This victory is even more praiseworthy as the team were missing a few regulars, There was a big cheer from the small crowd at the final whistle acknowledging the effort put in to gain this win. It is a pity there were not more people game The final score was Ballyfad 1-18 Buffers Alley 2-14
