Ballymacelligott GAA club notes Sunday 15th September 2024

Senior Ladies
Congratulations to our Senior Ladies on their win over Spa of Killarney today. 1-13 to 1-3. Onto the Semi Final of the Bons Secours Kerry Ladies Gaelic Football Association Junior A Championship, away to the Mighty Cromane who had a comprehensive 5-25 to 3-1 victory over ISG. Venue and Time will be decided in due course and put up on Social Media outlets.
A superb first half performance set us on the way to victory with a 1-8 to 1-1 halftime lead, where our forwards were patient in working the ball and our defenders were dogged in their refusal to yield.
Our performance level dropped in the second half, with a bit of sloppiness getting into our play, but with 10 subs entering the fray, 5 on both sides, that was bound to happen.
Thank You for the large and vociferous support today, it was great to see so many out to cheer on our Ladies. See you all in Cromane next Sunday. ##ballymacabu
U13’s County Championship Division 3
Ballymacelligott LGFA v Southern Gaels LGFA B
A great performance by Our U.13 team, made of U.11’s, U12’s & U.13’s in a good win against Southern Gaels in Ballymac on Sunday evening. Mighty teamwork from the backs through to the forwards, resulting in many fine scores.
They now progress to the U.13 Championship semi final against Desmonds or Firies, Sunday next. This was a first competitive match for many of the younger girls, and they did not disappoint one bit.
A big thank you to Ruairi O’ Rahilly, who trained the U.12 team last year and Liam Sweeney, currently part of the U.14/U16 girls set up for their help, team performances all round.

U13 Boys
Our U13 boys togged out for the Castleisland District Shield in Castleisland this evening at 5.30. They played a tough game of football against Knock/Brosna. The boys didn’t turn up in the first half, and the half-time score was 1-10 to 3 pts to opposition.
We came out a stronger second half, but it just wasn’t enough. The final score was Ballymac 1-7 to Knock/Brosna 1-14. Thanks to our few U11 boys for helping out.
St Kierans Minors
Well done to the St Kieran’s Minors on winning the County Final tonight. We especially congratulate the Ballymac players on the team and squad: vice-captain Eoin Moriarty, Mairtin McKivergan, Jack Joy, Eoghan Joy, Gearoid Coughlan, Padraig Reidy, Michael Quirke, Conal Savage, Ciaran O’Connell, Gearoid Healy, Michael O’Connor and Cian Harris.
Academy
A joyous morning spent with our U5s at Academy this week. The kids loved the drills and games, with a giant game of duck, duck, goose the favourite of the day. A massive thanks to our U5s coaches who have endless energy (and patience) to entertain more than 20 of our youngest players each week.
Our Academy training will be in the training pitch at 11am every Sunday see you there
