Ballina Colts 74
Ballina Hawks 55


Ballina Colts overcame an experienced Ballina Hawks team in the local derby game played in Scoil Padraig on Wednesday night last. Hawks with Terry Kennedy and Martin scoring give them a 12-3 lead after five minutes. Ballina Colts fought back with three pointers from Colm Leonard and Padraic Roche to lead 19-14 after the first quarter . In the second quarter the Colts increased their lead with exciting fast break baskets and good outside shooting to leave the scores 36-29 at the break .

In the third quarter the hawks cut the lead to two points with good man to man defence , but David Melia hit a big three pointer at the end of the quarter to restore the Colts lead to five points 47-42. In the final quarter the Colts took complete control out scoring the Hawks 27-13, Colts superior fitness was evident with Brain OMalley and Martin Wynne scoring great scores on the break . At this stage the Colts defence and workrate was the difference between the teams. Best for the Colts were Colm Leonard, Martin Wynne and Man of the match Padraic Roche, for the Hawks Martin Conroy and Mark Cunnigham had good games. Nine of the the Ballina Colts team play in Belfast next weekend in the Junior Mens National Cup, in games against top Super League Clubs Star of the Sea ( Belfast ), Marian ( Dublin ) and holders Killester ( Dublin ) The team also features National League players Paul Freeman, Kevin Lenehan and Kevin Moran.
