Ballymac settled when Dylan Dunne Moriarty kicked a point from play. This was quickly followed with a great goal from Daire Keane. The home side took the lead with another point from Dylan Dunne Moriarty. The lead was short lived as the full forward from Na Gaeil scored their second goal. Ballymac went on to score three more points, two from Daire Keane and one from David Rogers before the half time whistle. Na Gaeil scored five more points leaving the halftime score Ballymacelligott 1-05 Na Gaeil 2-06.
Na Gaeil took control of the game in the first few minutes of the second half, scoring 1-01 without reply from Ballymac . This left the home side eight points in arrears. Ballymac tried hard to fight back and were unlucky on three occasions when they hit the crossbar twice and the upright once. A point from Dara Broderick, a goal and a point from Daire Keane, and a point from David Rogers left Ballymac’s final score at 2-08. Na Gaeil scored 2.7 in the second half and this left their final score at 4-13.

GOLD TEAM
Our U12 Gold team played Castleisland Desmonds at home on Thursday the 28th of July. This was an entertaining game and we ended up winning the game on a score line of Ballymac 5-17 to Castleisland Desmonds 5-06. Our goalkeeper Tommy Palmer made some outstanding saves on the night and could not be faulted for any of the goals that went in. Our defensive quartet of Jack O Connor, Padraic Heffernan, Cian McCarthy and Luke Horgan made the Desmonds work hard for their scores. At mid field Diarmuid Galvin and Sean Rice’s domination ensured a plentiful supply of ball to our forwards where Micheal Cullotty, Niall Collins, Sam Mansfield and Raymond Lowe chalked up the scores to ensure a Ballymac victory. Substitues Michael Prendergast and Aidan Horgan added greatly to the teams when introduced. This game was videoed for coaching purposes and the lads will benefit from an analysis of their performance. The Gold teams next outing in the Castleisland District League on Thursday 4th August next at 7.30pm away to Cordal.
