Ballymac 3 – 09 Lispole 3 – 12
Our senior team suffered a very disappointing defeat on Sunday last as Lispole emerged victorious by 3 points in this Co. League game played in Ballymac.
Playing with a stiff breeze the home side got off to a dream start with a Luke Sweeney goal inside the first minute. Midway through the half Ballymac led on a score 3 – 3 to 1 – 1 with Padraig McCarthy and Gene Griffin goaling for Ballymac. We continued to dominate the half and lead at halftime by 9 points on a score line of Ballymac 3 – 8 Lispole 2 – 2. Lispole came out for the second half with all guns blazing and made full use of the wind advantage. Some early points and a goal on the 40ith minute saw them narrow the gap to four points and from here until the final whistle the West Kerry side dominated proceedings. A Daniel O Shea point being Ballymac’s only score in the second half.
