SENIOR TEAM
Ballymac 0-10, Brosna 1-08
Despite a superb second half performance our senior team lost to All Ireland Junior Champions Brosna by a point in their Co. League team played in Ballymac on Saturday evening last. The away side had the better of the first half and the goal midway through the half saw them go in at half time with a 1-06 to 0 3 lead. Ballymac scorers were Aidan Breen 0-02 and Vincent Horan 0-01. Whatever Stephen, Bridget and Johnny said to the lads at half time certainly had the desired effect as Ballymac came out for the second half with all guns blazing and had the lead trimmed back to 1 point by the 20th minute courtesy of 5 Aidan Breen points (0-04 frees), Brosna then extended their lead with 2 pointed frees. Our lads never gave up and a superb individual Aidan Breen point following one of his trademark runs and another by Vincent Horan once again left the minimum to the side. However, the score which could have given us a deserved draw didn’t materialise and it was the Brosna boys who were celebrating at the final whistle. While our lads were disappointed with the end result they showed great character to come back and almost snatch a draw on the night.
Team: P O Connor, T J Casey, C Reynolds, B O Donnell, M Sweeney, C Counihan, N O Shea, M Shanahan, K O Shea, L Sweeney, A Breen, E Reidy, P McCarthy, D O Shea, V Horan.
Our next game in this competition is on the weekend of the 26th July 2015 when we travel to Listry.
