Erne Generating Stations sponsor U12 team from the Aodh Ruadh Club, Ballyshannon

The highlight of the club's year so far took place in Convoy on Friday, July 20th when Aodh Ruadh's under 12 claimed the county title in a fiercely fought contest with Termon.

In whirlwind weather conditions Termon got off to a whirlwind start with two goals in first five minutes. Aodh Ruadh have showed buckets of fighting character this year and they showed this once again as they clawed their way back into contention. A superb individual goal by midfielder Pauric Patton was the key score as the first half ended level at 2-3 to 1-6.

With Patton more tightly marshalled in the second half, James Kelly gave a great display at midfield to help dictate the pattern of play in Aodh Ruadh's favour. There was a point with five minutes to go that Johnny Gettins scored the goal that sealed it for Ballyshannon.

David McGurrin shot over two further insurance points before the referee blew the whistle to confirm Aodh Ruadh as under 12 champions of Donegal for 2007. The final result was of 2-11 to 2-05. David McGurrin took six points, Matthew Gettins shooting three points and Colm Kelly another two. Commiserations to a gallant Termon team who gave their all in a great game of football. Special recognition goes to their centre full back, who had an exceptional game. Check out the club website (www.aodhruadh.org) for a full report and pictures.
