Our Gold Team played Currow in Ballymac in Round 3 of the Castleisland District u 12 s Go Games.
Our boys played against the wind in the first half, and defended well to keep Currow at bay on several occasions. Daniel Maher , Sean Ireland and mikey Brosnan were outstanding in this period.
Shane o Connell & Conor Mangan got a grip on midfield and this gave us a platform to give a decent supply to our inside forwards.
Jayden Roche with a great individual point reduced the deficit down to 4 points at the break.
Ballymac had several opportunities to push on but our efforts were slightly wide of the Target .
Sean Culloty Rian o Connor , Jack o Connell and Sam leen worked tirelessly to deny Currow again and again.
Scott Fitzmaurice,Dara Fealy Gearoid Jones & Kyle o Sullivan gave it their all to try and put us ahead , but Currow denied us several goal opportunities.
Special mention must go to Louis Barry on pulling off 3 point blank saves , at crucial times in the game.
Our boys were unlucky not to get a result but can be so proud of a great team performance, which prepares us well for the upcoming Tralee / ST Brendan’s league .
Our Blue Team travelled to Brosna to take on the locals in Round 2 of the Castleisland District League go games.

Ross Sugrue , Kyle o Sullivan, Sam leen , jason mc Donnell & Timmy Sheahen contributing handsomely to get a deserved result away from Home .
