On Saturday last our U12 girls were part of the Guard of Honour and played v Castlegregory in the half time game at the TG4 All Ireland Quarter Final of Kerry v Meath. A great day was had by all, thanks to Des, Liz, Cat and all the parents for all the help on the day.
‘Magical’ is how the U.12 girls described their wonderful day, representing Ballymac in Austin Stack Park for the Kerry Ladies quarter final against Meath.
From the gang meeting up before the game, doing the guard of honour as the Kerry Ladies ran onto the pitch, playing in front of a big crowd against Castlegregory at half time, sitting in the stands cheering on Kerry to a great win and then meeting their heroes afterwards for a chat, autographs and some pictures.
A great day with magical memories. Ballymac abú.
