Match Report
Our u13 Boys team capped a fantastic Season for them when they won their third trophy of the Year on Sunday last in Ballyrickard with an extra time replay victory over Ardfert in Division 2 of the Tralee/St Brendan’s District League.
Underfoot conditions were heavy which didn’t help matters so great credit must go to both teams for contributing to a most exciting game.
Ardfert had the advantage of the stiff breeze in the first half and led at the break 0-4 to 0-1.
Ballymac played their best football of the day early in the second half and led 1-7 to 0-5 entering the last ten minutes and seemed set for victory,however Ardfert had other ideas and their relentless pressure paid off as they added 1-2 in time remaining to force extra time.
Both sides were tired after the exertions of the normal time so any score in extra time would be critical,Ballymac struck for a goal late in the second half of extra time to snatch victory to see them run out winners on a 2-7 to 1-7 scoreline.
Captains John Leen,Tommy Walsh and Michael Quirke accepted the trophy on behalf of the team from Chairman of the Board John Rice.
