Venue: Keel Date: June 3rd 2024.
The Senior B team travelled to Keel on Sunday morning and came home with a win. The game was one-sided, with Ballymac dominant and leading from the first score of the game.
A point from Josh O’Keeffe opened the scoring, and shortly afterwards, Eoghan Leahy hit the back of the net. Two points from Shane Gilroy and James Kenny have Ballymac leading 2-03 with fifteen minutes left in the half.
Cathal White scored a goal, Skye Lynch and Captain Barry Lyons added a point each for Ballymac, and Keel got on the scoreboard with a goal. Josh O’Keeffe added a point for Ballymac, and Keel matched that score. The score went from 1-01 to 2-06 with five minutes left in the half. James Kenny and Barry Lyons scored Ballymac’s last two points of the half, and Keel scored a point just before the halftime whistle blew.
Half Time score: Keel 1-03 Ballymacelligott 2-08
The second half again showed off the work rate and communication among the Ballymac players. They added two more goals from Shane Gilroy, points from Jamie Burke and Andy Rogers, and two points each from James Kenny (1 free) and Barry Lyons (1 free). It was a very good team performance from Conor Martin in goals to the full forward line of Eoghan Leahy, Barry Lyons, and Josh O’Keeffe.
Total Time: Keel 1-10 Ballymacelligott 4-14.
Much credit is due to all the players lined out on Sunday morning. It was good to see Mossie Brennan back in the Ballymac Jersey, and credit to all the players who played on Friday night for making themselves available again. This senior B team has brought on and honed the skills of all these players for the past few months. The senior A team selectors who attend every game are very happy with the progress this bunch of players made so far. We are lucky as a club to have such commitment from players and the management teams.
