The senior lads went dwn to a very experienced inishowen team today in carrickfinn,after a very promising start from the home side with some good runs and plays and with the advantage of the artic wind behind them it was gary gallagher who took on the ball inside the 22 and a neat lay off to eugene “big daddy” doogan to touch down for his first try this season,with the wind behind him but very tricky paul gallagher kicked over the posts to lead 7-0.its wasnt to last long as inishowen hit back with two quick tries and a conversion to take the score 12-7 at the break..
