Another second half fadeout was partly responsible for the latest defeat in the ACL Div.5 but in fairness Ballinagore were the stronger team. Shamrocks enjoyed a first-half lead of 1-6 to 1-5 but faded in the second half. The highlight from the Shamrocks perspective was wing-back Tadhg Sheridan's great goal.
