Club Senior Team
Tralee/St Brendan’s Senior League Semi Final
On Friday night last in glorious Sunshine Ballymacelligott hosted Churchill in the Tralee/St Brendan’s semi-final.
Despite scoring five goals and dominating a lot of the game Ballymac lost to Churchill in this high-scoring and entertaining game.
Churchill was in the lead by two points with fifteen minutes gone in the first half. The halftime score was 1-05 to 1-06.
The second half was a cracker with Ballymac scoring four more goals and five points. The final score was Ballymac 5-10 Churchill 4-16.
We wish Churchill every success in the final. Thanks to everyone who supported our lotto on the night.
