Ballymac u15 boys
Ballymac u15 boys travelled up to Nemo Rangers on Saturday for the Mick OBrien football tournament.
Competitive games were played against Stacks and the hosts Nemo, resulting in a final against An Gaeltacht, which we won!!
Fionn Enright and Jack Collins accepted the trophy from ex-Cork footballer Colin Corkery.
Grub was also provided by our hosts, in what I would consider, 1 of the top club facilities in the country.
A memorable and worthwhile experience for our lads.
Big thanks to Nemo Rangers for hosting and giving us such a warm welcome. Special mention too to our 4 u13 players who travelled with us, and indeed to all our players who represented us so well on the day, both on and off the pitch.
Well done all
