The Credit Union SFL Div 1 Round 8
Ballymac GAA 2-11 Glenflesk GAA 1-14
Venue: Ballymac GAA Pitch
Date: 26th May 2024
With both teams going into this encounter in close proximity in the Division 1 league table, this had all the ingredients to be a tight encounter between Ballymac & Glenflesk on a blustery/showery Sunday afternoon in the Ballymac GAA pitch for Round 8 of the Credit Union, County Senior Football League, Division 1. 
Glenflesk made their intentions known within 90 seconds of the throw in when they breached the Ballymac back line with an early score & this was soon followed up 90 seconds later with a second score. Darragh Broderick got us off the mark after 4 minutes to bring the early deficit back to 1. However, it was the visitors who struck the net first with a well worked goal to make it 1-02 to 0-1 to Glenflesk with less than 5 minutes played.
As the half progressed, it was Ballymac who worked to draw in the early deficit with points from Vinny Horan & Shane McGillycuddy and eventually it was Tadhg Brick who struck the net for the home side to go a point ahead. Two evenly matched sides couldn’t be seperated at the interval.
Half Time Score: Ballymac GAA 1-08 Glenflesk GAA 1-08
The second half began with both sides exchanging scores. Donal Daly opened the scoring from a free for the home side. Ballymac continued the positive start to the half when we again found the net 8 minutes into the second half with a fine goal from Donal Daly. This put us 2 points up with over 20 minutes left to play in normal time. Glenflesk never threw in the towel and had some fine scores of their own as the half progressed. In the finish, there was nothing to separate the sides with both teams earning a well deserved point each.
Next week we travel to Kilcummin for round 9 of the County Senior Football League, Division 1.
