FAOI 14 : BALLYMAC 2-7 ARDFERT 0-6
We won our first trophy of the season in the Central Region Division 3 final played at home on bank holiday Monday against Ardfert. A low scoring game, with our first points coming from Josh and Daire Keane. Brian Lonergan and Tadhg Brick were doing well at midfield, Tadhg passing to Josh who soloed through for a super goal. Further points were scored by Daire Keane(2) and Liam O’Brien while at the other end good defending and poor shooting kept Ardfert’s score down. A Daire Keane free was misjudged by the goalie and Dara Chawke was on hand to finish to the net. Dylan McHugh, Diarmuid Lynch and James Carmody all helped us to lead at half time 2-6 to 0-1 Daire Keane getting another point.
