ABOUT US

Ballymacelligott GAA Club, just east of Tralee, is built on pride, passion, and resilience. From the early days of the GAA, when local teacher Maurice Moynihan brought the Association to Kerry, โ€˜Ballymacโ€™ has stood at the heart of the countyโ€™s footballing tradition, claiming four County Championships before 1918 and producing players who went on to win All-Ireland medals.

Our club’s story is about more than football. In 1918, as the War of Independence raged, Ballymacelligott GAA players stood not only on the pitch but in defence of their community. The infamous order to “burn Ballymac” was met with fierce resistance and unbreakable spirit- earning the rallying cry: โ€œBallymac still unconquered.โ€ Today, we honour that legacy. With two pitches- our main grounds and training facility in Arabella, and a well-developed youth programme, Ballymacelligott GAA remains a proud and vibrant club. We continue to grow, grounded in the strength of our past and committed to our future.

โ€œAn tรฉ a bhรญonn croรญรบil, beidh sรฉ buan.โ€ โ€” He who has pride will endure.

Ballymacelligott G.A.A
Keanes Super Valu Minor Group B Shield Final Result Ballymacelligott 5-12 Kilcummin 1-10. A thoroughly deserving victory over East Kerry outfit, Kilcummin at Firies GAA grounds on Sunday. Played in near perfect weather conditions, Ballymac carried the game to Kilcummin from the outset with attacking forays from the likes of Seadhna O Brien, Graham West, Sean Martin, Michael Quirke, Adrian O Connor and Ryan Burke yielding scores at will, as Ballymac dominated the midfield exchanges for the most part. As good as the attacking line of Ballymac was , their defence matched it as the unit held firm with Jackson Brosnan, Gearรณid Joy and in particular Darragh McMahon defending resolutely time and time again. The half backline of Pรกdraig Reidy, Cian Gilroy and Eric Quirke laid the foundations for our attack as their constant attacking provided confusion in the Kilcummin rearguard. Mid-fielders Eoghan Joy and Jack Collins grafted really hard throughout providing the link between defence and attack. Halftime Score Ballymac 3-08 Kilcummin 1-01. The second half saw a total transformation in the Kilcummin side and they threw caution to the wind and slowly took charge of possession and of proceedings and got more joy in their attack, but some miraculous saves from keeper John Leen, some from point blank range, kept Kilcummin at bay. Ballymac took command of the game once again mid way through the second half and further goals from Sean Martin and Player of the Match Michael Quirke saw Ballymac run out comfortable winners in the end. A deserving win over a Kilcummin side who had only two days rest between their semi-final win and today's final. They were magnanimous and gracious in defeat and no doubt they will bounce back from today's defeat. But, it's congratulations to the Blue n Gold on a fine victory. Well done to all. FOIREANN.
