The difference at the end of the game, was a goal from Conor Brick, the thirteen score of the game in the last ten minutes that made the difference. Very little separated the teams who scored thirteen scores each and Ballymac’s win by two points gave them their first two points in the County League.
The game’s first two points came from frees, Ted Fitzgerald’s for Mitchel’s, and Michael Herlihy for Ballymac. Shane McGillicuddy fired a strong shot past Mitchel’s goalkeeper and within a few minutes Sky Lynch had turned over a ball and passed it to Michael Herlihy who added another goal for Ballymac.
Mitchel’s scored a point. Following great work by Brian Cassidy, Shane Gilroy added one for Ballymac Brian Costello scored a point from a free for Mitchel’s followed by another point and a goal from the Tralee side. The last two scores, before halftime, were points by Skye Lynch and Mike Hoare
The Half Time score was: Ballymac 2-04 John Mitchel’s 1-03
Full-Time score was: Ballymac 3-10 John Mitchel’s 2-11
